 A property expert believes the introduction of a new winter service could be of major benefit to individuals with properties in popular French ski destinations.
Alps set for property boom?
Eurostar have announced the launch of a winter service from this December, allowing passengers to travel direct from St Pancras and Ashford International through to resorts including Moutiers, Aime-Le-Plagne and Bourg St Maurice.
The addition of this extra option for holidaymakers provides a prime opportunity for French ski property owners. That's the verdict of Charlie Williams, an expert at Experience International:
"The French Alps have and always will offer the finest skiing in Europe in my opinion. Ski property with quick and easy access from the UK is in particularly high demand.
"The news that you can go from London to the Alps in 7 hours spells good news for owners; I fully expect demand and subsequently property values to rise."
Town tipped for growth
Williams has also tipped the unspoiled resort of Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise to be an emerging ski 'hotspot' over the next couple of years:
"Thanks to some sensitive re-development this Savoyard town has been reborn as a luxuriously quiet retreat for families and groups alike.
"Prices increased by 7.5% over 2009 and in response to demand for quality accommodation a prestigious developer has released La Chapelle, a ski-in ski-out development with many facilities and outstanding views on the leaseback system with 100% finance."
