French Property Exhibition Harrogate 14th, 15th, 16th May 2010 Yorkshire Event Centre

Thank you to all the visitors and exhibitors who helped make the Harrogate French property exhibition 2010 a great success. The exhibition demonstrated the growing resurgence in the French Property market. Exhibitors reported higher enquiry levels than had been seen for a number of years and visitors flocked to attend the informative seminar programme to get more information.

Held on 14-16 May 2010 at the Yorkshire Event Centre, in Harrogate, the show brought together house hunters and professionals of the French property market, including estate agents, tax advisors, mortgage lenders, removals and currency exchange companies.

Despite the challenging economic climate, there was a distinctly positive feeling amongst the visitors to the show; there is still a great deal of interest in buying a property in France. Visitors valued the opportunity to meet agents face to face and have in depth discussions with them and other experts.

"My wife and I came to saturday's show, spending nearly all day from 10h30 to 17h00 attending 4 seminars in the process. We thoroughly enjoyed it and spoke to a lot of people about our future French plans; we will also be visiting 2 companies in France during our holidays to further our enquiries. Thank you very much for the inviation." (Michel Sautejeau)

"Saturday was very busy. I think we had about 100 clients, whom we interviewed strongly, and about 75 of them are in a position to buy now, as they don’t have a house they need to sell now. This is about the same as last year. The last two people we saw on Sunday afternoon, just as we were thinking of packing up were the two with the biggest budgets – one had a budget of 1 million euros and the other had 1.8 million euros."
