No I am not any more now I am back in the UK, but all of our associate team members are French agents.

We find houses much the same way as any immobiliere and you are buying the property with our team of French Immobiliere agents, (called ‘agent commercials’) .The team converse with the French clients in French and English speaking clients in English and the local operation is resourced accordingly. We do offer and do lots of extra things over and above the normal service of an immobiliere for both our English speaking clients and vendors.

What is a fosse septique?

A fosse septique is an independent drainage system.

You really need to know and have someone check on all the planning, installation and use issues before you sign for any particular property in order to make sure that you will end up with a flushing loo or being able to use what is already there!

Can you organise renovations?

Yes we can. We only use local registered artisans. We would have no financial interest in the arrangements you make direct with the artisans we recommend. If however, you want us to manage local artisans we will charge you. We can organsie ‘certificat d’urbanism’ and planning applications. For this we will charge you.

Can you arrange accommodation?

We are only too pleased to take care of this. We will organise direct or we can supply lists of hotels, B & B, and self catering facilities.

How much notice do you need for a visit?

How long is a piece of string? The guideline is the more notice the better to ensure we can arrange the logistics of houses to view, availablility of the team and forwarning vendors. Do not be dissappointed if we can not look after you if you ring us when already in France. We have to give priority to the people who ring and book in advance.

Do you do the English legal work?

Whatever you want and need we can do. We have our own resources both specialist notaires in France and specialist lawyer based in the UK You do not have to use us for advice and you can always use another third party legal advisor and they will charge you accordingly. We remain totally flexible.

Are your prices fully inclusive?

On this website they are displayed as inclusive of all fees. We think that is what people want to know. It is the most you will pay and that means for everything. If you do not want our legal advice, translation services, or various other items that we regard as ‘standard normal requirements’, then the final costs could be a little less. When you visit us we will show you the detail and build up of costs for any property and you can decide which elements you wish to buy and those that you will ‘leave on the shelf’. Remember, with us you are paying the same price for the actual property as you would if you were a local French client.
