Brits have begun weighing their choices even though the bill was introduced in December and is still pending approval from the nation's Constitutional Council this week, according to EU Helpers.
Based on data from the UK-based international property website Kyero, searches for French properties by Britons increased by 582 percent on the site three weeks after the measures were approved.
According to the Telegraph, the Alpes-Maritimes region in southeast France accounted for 25% of all searches, with Haute-Vienne and Charente following closely after.
Spain is reportedly considering similar measures, thus according to Keryo's co-founder, 2024 will likely see a rise in foreign real estate purchases.
According to Legget Immobilier's Joanna Legget, organic traffic on their portal increased by 44% in December of last year, while the number of queries from new British clients increased by 16%.
A Leggett sales support director also mentioned that the company is progressively witnessing a spike in viewings and that many of the clients who had only been looking at houses have now been activated. Furthermore, because of the 90-day limit, UK nationals who had property in France for sale are no longer doing so.
Due to the fact that French nationals, regardless of whether they owned property in the UK, could enter the country for up to six months without a visa, many claimed that the post-Brexit deal was unjust.
However, British nationals who own second homes in France are only permitted to remain there upon the completion of an annual application for a long-stay visa, which is a lengthy procedure.
On Thursday, the Constitutional Council will make a decision that might result in the bill's complete implementation, including the revision, its declaration as unconstitutional, or the removal of specific parts.
Thousands of people protested in the streets of France over the latest immigration bill, calling on President Emmanuel Macron not to sign the strict legislation that sought to lower immigration to the country.
While some migrants may find the new laws convenient, others may find them to be among the strictest, as they restrict their access to state healthcare and deport people who have a criminal record, among other things.
