The political uncertainty surrounding the forthcoming election is doing nothing to help the volatility surrounding the £ currency, both against the € and the $.
UK buyers are facing an exchange rate of around 1.10 € to the £ if they wish to buy a home in France. Not great when you compare rates over the past 5 years or so, but who knows what will happen if there is a hung parliament?
This weakness in the £ does present itself as an opportunity for any ex-Pats looking to sell up in the Eurozone and return to the UK. Sensible vendors are using this as a chance to lower prices, generate more interest leading to a sale, and then pocket the gain in currency.
