With the UK now out of the European Union, you might be wondering what the procedures are for obtaining the legal right to purchase property and move to France. As citizens of the European Union, British nationals were able to travel to France for up to ninety days on a valid passport and entitled to stay for more than 90 days as long as they were working, studying, or running a business. Households that were economically inactive also benefitted from free movement to and from France provided that they had comprehensive healthcare cover and sufficient resources.
