While many investors have turned their attentions to new up and coming property markets in places such as Bulgaria or Dubai. Others still prefer investing in more traditional locations such as Paris. The ever-popular French capital is always going to attract tourists no matter what time of year it is and the best thing is that tourist rentals traditionally yield the best return, with upmarket properties located in Pariss town centre particularly popular. Some forecasters predict that prices may rise by as much as 15%, while rental returns of 6.5% to 7% remain realistic. Further more, French mortgages remain cheap thanks to low interest rates, which are currently less than 3.5%.
