Top-notch service from David Smethurst and the team!
After 18 superb years in France we decided it was time to see out our time back in the UK. We paid a few visits there and eventually had an offer accepted on a property. We then needed to put the French house up for sale. Knowing a representative of Beaux Villages, David, we asked him to give us his assessment and valuation. He was very straightforward and the valuation was what we expected and a sensible one. The explanation of the process was outlined and we decided to go exclusively with them. David went round photographing the various aspects of the house and garden and put the house on the market. The prospectus on the Beaux Villages website was first class and would make anyone wonder why we were selling up. We didn’t expect much interest due to the winter approaching. We were surprised, having a viewing the same day it was advertised! But for a family problem they were going to make an offer. After that we had a steady stream of viewings during the winter arranged by other representatives of the agency besides David and a lady from Belgium made an offer we accepted. The liaison between ourselves and the buyer was trouble free through the agency, answering various questions the buyer was asking. David, whose French is perfect, was invaluable arranging various inspections necessary before the sale could take place. The sale went smoothly arranged by him using the Notary Office in Ruffec, who spoke perfect English, lasting only a few minutes due to the preparation done by him and Beaux Villages. They are to be highly recommended for their professional approach, knowledge and wide circulation of sales.
