Brittany comprises the departements of Finistere, Morbihan, Cote d’Amor and Ile et Vilaine. Continually popular due to its proximity and ease of access to the UK by ferry and air, properties in this region offer good value, character and charm and are normally built of stone or granite. New properties are also available often built in similar style and there are a good selection of new developments, some with direct access to the beach and suitable for both permanent and holiday homes. Investment properties are also available with guaranteed rentals and leaseback possible. The dramatic coastline, wonderful food and friendly people have long attracted UK buyers. Stone country cottages will start at around £25,000 and prices generally for a larger property in good condition with some land will cost from £200,000 but could be well over £1m.
