There are four airports - Brive (30 mins) Bergerac ( 1 hr 30) & Limoges or Toulouse (2 hrs) to attract your clients to the area.

Clients are attracted by direct postings on media such as facebook & others & also via sites such as TripAdvisor, Airbnb, VRBO as well as from private agents. The owners attract different types of renters from singles & couples to family & friend groups & also hobby-based workshops for art & cyclists. They also attract people who are moving to France and need a longer stay.

The complex offers lettings to a mixture of renters from singles & couples in the smaller house to larger family groups & groups of friends etc in the larger house/s depending on the accommodation needs of the new owners.

The houses also offer the option of multi-generational living for an extended family if this is preferred. Move to France with your family for a fraction of the price of a small house in the UK.

The properties allow for versatility across different markets with enormous scope to develop. The current owners attract customers from both the winter long term let and summer short stay markets. The properties have mostly been fully booked for several years.

The property is sold fully furnished with all goodwill and bookings included in the price, which constitutes excellent value. The purchasers would also have the benefit of whatever rental bookings are in place at the date of completion. 

The owners run the rental properties on a lifestyle basis so scope  exists for new owners to increase earnings perhaps by having shorter holiday bookings and less longer term stays if they wish & also by the installation of swimming pools if required to charge higher rental fees in the summer season. 

Cash buyers and those with a pre-approved mortgage are encouraged to grab this amazing opportunity,

This property is offered as a private sale.
