I, don't think this is a good time to invest anywhere. I should wait until late summer. But if you are hell bent on buying now than keep in mind that € is very strong against the £. Thanks to our economy more dependent/aligned on/to USA.

Even, if you are going to get a 85% € mortgage, the 15% plus other cost legal etc, which could be an additional 13%. Please check with your mortgage provider that the 85% that they are lending you is inclusive of VAT, i.e. included in the property price, As the Banks in EU do not lend on the VAT element of the purchase price.
