Hi Sharon, we picked the keys up at 4:30pm from the Notaire and met the lady who’s property it was, she was very nice and very helpful too, (she also owns the neighbouring property which she plans to live in soon and said to us she will bring us photos of the house how it used to be).

Of course we went straight to the house after the signing of the paperwork, we walked in and on the fireplace was a bottle of champagne and two glasses!! how lovely !

Thanks for all your help..🌷🌺🌸🌼

Regards, Steve.

Are Travel Restrictions Halting your plans?

No Problem...

Our Property Inspection Service is Back!

So several countries are back in a 'Lockdown' situation again, I hope you and your family are in good health and good spirits despite the difficult times we are all living through.

During the first Lockdown we introduced a solution to buy your property without first visiting it, ie. to buy it ‘unseen’. We actually sold more houses in March, April and May this year than in 2019, which even surprised us.

Buying 'unseen' proved very popular but for a more cautious approach, we prefer and can again offer, the service of a ‘Property Inspection’ carried out by our property surveyor, Nick Warner.

Plus due to the high demand we received, Nick now has another surveyor helping him so we can accommodate more remote property inspections for our clients.

Nick can visit up to 4 properties a day on your shortlist and inspect the properties for you against your criteria and advise on a number of important aspects so you can make a more informed decision before making an offer on your chosen house.

The fees for an inspection visit and the short report with photos by email will depend on the size and complexity of the properties selected and will be individually negotiated for each client.

If you feel that this may be a good option for you, please feel free to contact Nick Warner for further details.

In the meantime Stay Well and stay in touch!

Visit the website to contact Nick Warner direct.

Kind regards,

Why Brits are snapping up property in France.

The real Brexit Day is fast approaching.

The 12-month transition period has only a few months left to go.

For British buyers, it is an opportunity to buy a French property and apply for residency during the transition period.

There is no time like the present.

While local experts aren’t seeing a fire sale of French property, some sellers are undoubtedly very open to offers.

The market has been usually busy throughout the summer, and we expect that trend to continue until the end of the year.

One thing to remember…

When you buy a French property, you are exposed to the fluctuating Euro exchange rate.

I know for a fact that the exchange rate you get can make a big financial difference.

It’s why I would suggest getting a quote from Key Currency, our currency partner.
