Answer 2

To split hairs a bit...

There is no English market. There is no one place that English buyers check. You should focus on English speaking websites, agencies and newspapers.

Most people will look for French property in publications or sites where there are other French property. You are much less likely to find an English buyer if you were to advertise in a publication that contained mostly English property.

I can not tell where you are located. If you are local to the property see which firms in the community have information on other property that is in English.

Use Google to search for French property and English (or UK). There are some trade shows or property investment shows held in the UK. Generally well advertised in the popular UK press. Most will have listed or a connection to publications that focus on the UK buyer looking for a French property. You also might want to consult with rental directories that are offering French property but are in English.

Answer 3

the best UK-French agency is VEF, try their website vefuk.com They have plenty of offices in France, staffed by Brits, and offer the whole service including translation services to non-French speakers, - hence they are very very popular with British purchasers.
I have a house in France (not bought from VEF but when I sell it, I shall definitely use them). I've seen them in action, very good. Definitely the best and very well known, always at the property exhibitions. Good luck

Answer 5

email [e-mail].

these are an english newspaper for advertising things such as cars, home goods and property.

place an ad about the place, leaving your name and contact number, how much you wish to sell it for, where it is located and what the property benefits from.
