    You might have mis-read my comment, what are their prices like, relative to ours?

    old and “full of character” (read: uneven floors, crumbling paper-thin walls) due to lack of regulation.

    Basically a bit like our old terrace houses that are full of damp and way too small for modern life.

      oh sorry – well cheaper than german houses that’s for sure.

      Along the Rhine valley, they have a double whammy of Swiss being unable to buy houses in Switzerland, so they go buy them in Germany as buy-to-let, pricing out the Germans who can’t compete with Swiss salaries, and so the Germans go buy French houses which drives up their prices for the French.

      I’m not answering your question at all am I lmao
