How can we help you?

Buying property in a foreign country can be a very frustrating and time-consuming business. We aim to simplify the whole search and purchase process for you by working with you before, during and after your visit to ensure that your time is well spent and you find the property which is right for you.

We are able to do this by working independently with a national chain of agents, local immobiliers and notaires as well as searching the private market. This means that we have access to more properties than a single agent or notaire.

Therefore, we are able to show you a range of properties which match your criteria and do not waste time by viewing unsuitable properties or those which do not match your criteria.

We will have visited the vast majority of houses and will tell you both their good, and more importantly, their bad points.

We find that different people have different needs depending on their knowledge of the area, local market, level of French spoken etc. and so we offer a menu of services from which you can select as necessary:

Initial Meeting

From your initial enquiry we will e-mail you with a description of how we work together with a number of suitable properties as examples of what is available.

Following this and confirmation of your visit date, it is recommended that we have an initial meeting. Prior to our meeting we will have begun searching against the criteria which you have supplied and will already have a number of appointments booked at the time of our meeting. We will answer all of your initial questions at this stage. Following the initial meeting, we are happy to spend a number of days with you as experience has shown that people's criteria may change following a number of viewings. We normally spend 2/3 days with a client on their first meeting and we look to view a minimum of five properties

Also : -

• We will accompany you on all visits and translate between you and the vendors.
• We will liase between the agents, yourselves and the vendors.
• We will help you to find accommodation for your visit.
• Property search. This is a valuable add on to our service. If we are unable to find the right property for you on your first visit then we will continue searching for suitable properties using our local contacts. Many of the properties we sell are new to the market and are sold prior to appearing on the Web.
