Buying in France: Two developments in the Cannes area - one opposite the Palais des Festivals where the Cannes film festival is held, the other in Cannes Mandelieu - will be on show this weekend in in Dublin.
Le Scoop, a mix of upmarket studio, one and two-bedroom apartments in a refurbished listed building (a former post office), have just been launched by Overseasproperties.com and will cost from €460,000 up to €2.27 million for a two-bed penthouse apartment. The units range in size from around 50sq m (538sq ft) to 90sq m (968sq ft). Owners have the option to use the apartments for up to 70 days a year and the agents are talking about rental income of over 5.5 per cent per year. Each unit has one underground car-parking space.
The Petit Lac, about 40 minjutes' from Nice airport, is a family-style resort, where one and two-bed apartments from 450-670sq ft cost from €246,000 to €382,000. The developments are on show in the Shelbourne Hotel, this weekend, November 17th and 28th, and in Cork, on Sunday, November 25th.
