French house price information available on iPhone and iPad

The Notaires de France have an  app detailing house price movements in France.

This application allows the user to research the prices of older houses and apartments as well as their quarterly, annual and 5 yearly price movement as a sector. You can also drill down to regions and neighbourhoods.

The application also allows the browser to calculate ancillary purchase costs. Updated monthly the app is available free of charge on App Store and will soon be available for Android.

By combining this app with Charles Hamer’s instant French mortgage market comparison tool at /calculator.aspx you will now be able not only to work out whether the purchase and mortgage is affordable but also whether the asking price represents good value for money for the locality, before you make the trip out to see the property. Don’t forget that our tool also includes the mortgage related costs as well as the ancillary purchase costs, so giving you a more accurate idea of your total outlay.
