old and “full of character” (read: uneven floors, crumbling paper-thin walls) due to lack of regulation.
compare that with Germany’s rule where a landlord has to replace the floors/kitchen/damn roof every 6/7 years, under the pretext of forced maintenance which they then use to jack up the rent based on the mandatory improvements.
I genuinely don’t know which is better

Median house price in France is €160,000 and in the UK it’s £297,000 ~ €350,000
Median salary in France is €23,280 and in the UK it’s £37,400 ~ €43,000
A house in France costs, on average, 6.87 times the average annual salary and in the UK it costs 8.14 times.
Caveat: all these numbers come from 2 minutes of googling figures so I do not vouch for their accuracy.
