Rarely, if ever, does anyone compare the hilltop villages of the Côte d’Azur or Alpes-Maritime to the small Welsh former mining hamlets near Haverfordwest.
However, older Britons selling their homes in France and returning to the UK have started to head for the tranquil communities of Pembrokeshire in west Wales to live in rural isolation and save money for their retirement.
Carol Peett, the founder of the small West Wales Property Finders, a buying agency, says that she has found homes for at least a dozen clients returning from France since last summer, and the inquiries are still coming in. “Because of Brexit, they decided that it would be too difficult to live there and so wanted to come home, but, much to our surprise, they’re deciding to explore Pembrokeshire, which is rural and escapist, yet more affordable.”
She says most of her clients are in their fifties or sixties and want somewhere peaceful to retire to after having lived abroad.
If you are thinking of moving to Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion or Gower, or buying a holiday property here, give Carol Peett at West Wales Property Finders a call on 01834 862816. Not only can we find you your perfect property but we can save you time, money and stress by carrying out the negotiations and micro-managing your purchase for you right through to exchange of contracts. http://www.westwalespropertyfinders.co.uk
