New Year, New You, New Toi, New Toit?

Originally posted on & updated on 25th January, 2024

We hope you’ve enjoyed a relaxing Christmas and are in good spirit for La Nouvelle Année. I’m sure most of you got the headline about this post; ‘new toit’ meaning ‘new roof’ and “new toi” is a double ‘entendre’ in French, when people make their resolutions for the new year, and for some it may be your dream French house…

Are you looking to spend Easter on a terrace in Occitanie? Winter fun in the French Alps? And an unforgettable summer with family and guests under your new French ‘toit’ for your own house warming ‘cremaillere’ style al fresco or by the fireplace?

Get in touch and tell us about your plans, there’s plenty of time to find and secure the perfect summer as the purchase process takes approx 3 months, you will need to factor-in at least an extra 6 weeks if you need a French mortgage, providing you are able to access to finance, French banks are very tough.

Maybe you’ve been putting off your search while looking online for the elusive ‘perfect property’. The real question is, does it exists or is even possible to find? Or perhaps you have recently started looking but need to sell a business or waiting retirement age? No problem, just share your criteria with us while you keep an eye on the market and trends.

Our multi award winning portal lists many character homes, farm properties, gites and chateaux for sale in the most popular areas of France. With spring soon on the way, we look forward to sharing our latest properties with you over the next few months.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
