Is France Property Shop an estate agent?



No. This site is a platform for estate agents, developers and private sellers to advertise property. You will need to contact the advertiser directly through the contact forms.

I have enquired about a property but had no reply?



Some advertisers, particularly private sellers will only check their email occasionally. Please remember that they may be on holiday or at work and will get back to you when they can. If you haven’t received a reply within a reasonable time please contact us and we will try and help.

My detailed search has brought up no results.



Properties are being added to the site all the time so set up an email alert to get emailed when a new property is added that matches your criteria.
