given me the opportunity to
visit beautiful properties and
meet interesting people. Our
team in Centre-Val de Loire is
experienced and exceptionally
talented. We have well over 400
properties for sale, spanning the
six departments that make up
the region: Cher, Eure et Loire,
Indre, Indre et Loire, Loir et Cher
and Loiret. Within this portfolio
we have properties to suit every
budget. Take a look at our website and you
will see that small
houses begin at around 30-
40,000 euros, be careful though
as renovation and refurbishment costs
can add up if you're
not careful! At the top end, we
have some outstanding country
houses and estates for well over
1m euros. These are terrific value compared
to other regions of
France and you really can pick
up some historically significant
properties for bargain prices.

The Notaires de France tell us
that houses cost, on average,
1,480 euros per m2 in this region, ranging
from 1,000 euros
per m2 in the more rural areas to
double that in prime, riverside,
locations.
This disparity in property
prices makes it important to find
a good local agent who lives and
works in the area where you are
looking. They should be able
to talk knowledgeably about
property prices, as well as point
you in the direction of the best
markets, prettiest villages and
hidden beauty spots that the
tourists don't know about. The
"Disneyland" like châteaux at
Amboise, Chinon and Blois are
truly amazing, but please remember that this region
has so
much more to offer - why not
come and see for yourself?
