enquiries since Brexit. Overall, the
market here is still active, with a
shortage of stock and strong overall
demand.
Meanwhile, to the south-west, in
the Basque and Béarn area, Charlie
Ellis tells us that the regeneration
of rural properties is energising the
Pyrénées-Atlantiques market:
"Since lockdown, the Béarn and
Pays-Basque have benefited
enormously from French and
international buyers seeking a more
tranquil and traditional lifestyle.
Most buyers here tend to be French
because we offer beautiful, rural
surroundings with easy access to
Bordeaux, Paris and Toulouse via
the motorway and TGV. Although
prices in prime areas increased by
around 20% (and 30% on the coast),
there are still affordable farmhouses
and mills to renovate, along with
beautiful contemporary properties
ready to move into. Despite the
friendly rivalry between the Basques and the Béarnais, more and
more of our buyers in the Béarn are
Basques escaping from the crowded
Côte Basque. In addition, there has
definitely been an influx of British
buyers looking for châteaux since
lockdown - I have sold two in the
last few months, with enquiries still
coming in."
Moving north again, Bruno Roucher
covers the neighbouring Landes
department. He tells us:
"This market is dominated by French
buyers, and we continue to benefit
from the overspill out of Bordeaux,
with families relocating here due
to the lower costs and beautiful
scenery. Since the LGV between
Bordeaux and Paris has opened,
giving access to the capital in a
little over two hours, the popularity
of holiday homes in this area has
increased. Typical budgets are below
350,000 euros."
