Considering buying a house in France - any advice?

I will be inheriting money from my dad, who died at the end of September.

I've always wanted to own a place in France, and now it looks like I'll be able to do that. Especially as I've discovered how cheap some property is.

We want a place somewhere close to Eurotunnel, so that we can visit regularly (we're in SW London so not to far to drive at this end), and it's not somewhere we'd rent out.

It's also a possibility that we might buy it with some very good friends of ours (obviously would go through all legal stuff with them too, no matter how good friends we are).

I'm aware that buying property is a different process in France, but don't yet know anything about it - any advice, or words of wisdom - even if it's to tell me what not to do!?

And also, given the whole Brexit fiasco, I'm wondering if it's really a good idea at the moment?
