Sharing France with you

A new life in the country

Space, clean air, open roads - is the idea of a rural lifestyle speaking to you? You’re not alone. For those raising a family in an apartment or those who simply want to live a more self-sufficient life, the benefits of living in the country rather than in the city centre are increasingly appealing.

So what are the top 3 things people are looking for right now?

Hello from the Sunny Pyrenees Orientales in the South of France

The move from Dordogne has been made and I have been working down here since October.
It was a good, stress-free, move and I even got to use 2 different companies from clients who had 1. sold with Beaux Villages and 2. bought with Beaux Villages. Both had set up their own removal and storage companies in France and were very professional and cost efficient.
When you are relocating we have a list of good companies who can help you take the stress out of the "big move" from the UK to France or within France itself. (Just This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)

From one of our crack sales team in the Lot-et-Garonne:

I am still trying to work from home, finding properties and speaking to vendors and staying in touch with all parties for ongoing sales.

On a personal note my husband Paul returned just before the shut down and now the 14 day self isolation period is over with no ill effects.

From one of our sales consultants in the Vienne:

From rushing around talking to vendors and arranging visits with buyers we now have time to tackle some of those jobs we never get to at home.

How to create a video tour

With the current lockdown restrictions, we're getting creative and making sure our clients can remain connected with the dream. What better way than a clear, crisp video tour that can be viewed at any time, from anywhere? 

Our head of sales management, Tracey Hudson, stars in this very handy video to bring you the best tips and tricks for creating a quality video of your home. And yes, from your phone! No fancy camera equipment needed.

A big thanks to those vendors who have already sent us theirs.
