Are You Struggling to Find the Picture Perfect Home?

One of our team members recently recalled a regular conversation she had with her parents about the possibility of them retiring to France. She explained that her Mum is nearing retirement age, and although she holidays in France every year, she always makes excuses when the conversation turns to them making France their permanent home. We appreciate that finances and family can often have a large influence over such a decision, but with Vicky’s mum, this isn’t the case.

Finding the Perfect Home

With FaceTime, Skype and cheap flights readily available, her issues aren’t what you might expect; her reservations are more focused on the buying process, which led us to think, who else is having these unnecessary worries? We spoke with several potential, current and past clients to quiz them about these preventable apprehensions and get them out in the open …

Communication

Don’t speak fluent French? It’s ok, you don’t have to. All of our team in the UK and partners in France speak fluent English. From your first point of contact, Patrick and the team are on hand to discuss certain properties or your personal circumstances. This continues through to your viewings, offers, and the completion of the sale. We understand that not understanding the language can be daunting, which is why we believe that clear translation should be provided to you throughout the entire buying process, and why we offer such a personalised service.

Personal Service

From our award-winning website, you will see that you can be quite specific with your search requirements; however, there’s more to finding your dream home than just ticking a few boxes. We take the time to understand your needs so we can help you with your search. As experts, we offer knowledge and experience of the possibilities for your life in France, allowing you to realise the potential homes you might have overlooked or missed due to your search criteria.

French Estate Agents

Our team covers the most popular areas of France. Your viewings will be accompanied by our real estate agents in France, who are also available to answer your questions or offer advice on your impending decision. We also work with experts in currency exchange, French mortgages, notaires, insurance specialists for expats and UK-based legal experts.

Find the Perfect Home

Although our team will provide advice on your property search, once you book your trip to view your chosen properties, your viewings will be tailored to your requirements and requests. You will not be asked or invited to view properties that you have not requested or ones that do not suit your requirements. Property viewing can be exciting but also expensive; we will ensure that your time is organised effectively and efficiently. We also offer a fully personalised, bespoke hunting service in the main cities of France.

Realistic Viewings

Obviously, you will want to make the most of your time in France as you view your chosen properties; however, we will always be realistic with your schedule. We believe that you should experience the character of each home and take in the surrounding area. You are buying into a lifestyle, a community, and an area; therefore, it is essential that you have time to get a flavour of what each property offers before moving on to the next.

All About Relationships

We like to consider ourselves a sort of family who live and work throughout the UK and across France.  It’s our established and respected relationships that enable us to offer properties valued at the right price, honest advice and an efficient buying process for each and every client.

The Home Buying Process

If you’re still a little uneasy about taking such a big step, we are here to guide you through the entire process of buying property in France. You are not expected to know everything; our team is here to be your helping hand, and we will resolve any initial apprehensions and concerns.

“All other agents lost interest when I told them that I would be coming to France to view in late August or September. Your email has answered many of my questions, including some I had not even thought to ask. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your professionalism and attention to detail. Merci, a tres bientot.” Brett Nelson

Hopefully, we have covered your concerns and that niggle that has been preventing you from starting your search. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
