If you’re looking for a home in France, the best place to start is at the French Property Exhibition. Held every January in London, it brings together a whole host of property professionals under one roof – between them they can cover every aspect of your property purchase or relocation to France.
Come and discuss your dreams with the estate agents | Harry Howells - Spark Creative
Discuss your property dreams with estate agents, who will be able to advise you about different locations, prices and the buying process. Browse through the details of thousands of properties for sale. Consult with legal and financial experts about everything from sales contracts to inheritance planning, and currency transfer to tax matters. Need advice about removals – no problem! Want information about visas – our experts will be waiting to help you! The same goes for planning renovation work in France, building a new home, healthcare insurance and learning French.
Many of the estate agents at the exhibition moved to France from the UK themselves and are able to advise visitors from a personal point of view. “The exhibition is a great way for us to share our experiences of living the French dream,” says Joanna Leggett, Marketing Director at Leggett Immobilier. “Meeting people face to face makes an enormous difference to us, and we can reassure them of any concerns they may have.”
Exhibition sponsor Blevins Franks will be advising visitors on important financial and tax matters. Jason Porter, Business Development Director, says: “The exhibition is an invaluable resource for anyone considering a move to France, with such a wide range of experts on hand. Our team will guide you through the tax, succession and financial planning aspects of relocating, helping you start your journey in the best position.”
The French Property Exhibitions have been going for over 30 years, so we like to think we know what we’re doing! And that includes knowing just what you need, whether you’re looking for a holiday bolthole or planning a whole new life in France. Whatever your chosen region and whatever your budget, the exhibition is the perfect place to get started, or continue, on your property or relocation journey.

“Despite all the online resources buyers can access, they still value direct contact with property professionals, especially in this era of fake news and scams,” says Karen Tait, Editor of French Property News magazine. “Bringing everyone together under one roof, the exhibition really is a one-stop-shop for anyone considering a property purchase or move to France.”
Burke Bros Moving Group have been attending the French Property exhibitions since the start. Sales Manager Ben Hingley says: “It remains an invaluable experience for us. Not only does it give us the chance to meet potential customers, which is essential for building trust in our removal and storage services, but it also allows us to reconnect with our network of fellow exhibitors and other leading experts.”
Matthew Cameron, Head of French services at Ashtons Legal incorporating Heslop & Platt, is looking forward to helping visitors with any legal concerns they may have. “As in previous years, we expect to speak to many people looking to invest in a new home or holiday home in France. It is a pleasure to discuss their various plans and explain how we may be able to assist on their journey.”
One of the most valued aspects of the exhibition is the daily programme of free seminars, which go into depth about buying and selling French property, choosing a location, understanding the French tax and legal systems, maximising your budget through currency exchange, and moving to France.

Fab Pelissier of seminar sponsor Fab Expat says: “This event is a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with passionate individuals who are looking to make France their new home. We’re especially looking forward to the 2025 exhibition, as it gives us a platform to offer tailored advice and support, helping more English-speaking expats navigate their move to France with confidence.”
So, whether you just want to get a feel for the French property market, are looking for advice on where to buy, are ready to start booking viewings, or want to gain peace of mind by talking to the legal and financial experts, the French Property Exhibition is the perfect place to access the help you need.
