Yes. UK citizens face no restrictions on owning French property, so buying a ski apartment or chalet in the Alps works just as it did before Brexit. What has changed is how long you can stay: without a visa, up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period in the Schengen area; owning a home supports a long-stay visa application but does not give you residency.

Yes. You can let your property if you want to; the type of purchase contract decides how. With a Classic Freehold there is no rental obligation (rent or not, it's up to you), a Loi Montagne contract is owner-let via a local agency with services (personal use typically 6 weeks winter, 8 weeks summer in Les Sybelles per year) and a Résidence de Tourisme is a leaseback with a management company. We're happy to talk you through the options for any property.
