We thought buying in France would be a difficult process and we don't speak a word of french but thanks to the team at BV the process was a lot less difficult than we thought. We had a smooth purchase and we can't thank them enough. They continued to help us even after the purchase. We appreciate everything they did for us.
Thank you
Babs and Pete

Nicole Worked tirelessly to achieve our sale, despite several prospective purchasers withdrawing at late stages in the purchase, and problems over title. She was always available to us and gave sound advice.

Our new life adventure!
By Gill and Stephen Lambert, 17 September 2020
Dear Tracey
We have finally moved into our new home and can now enjoy our ‘new life adventures’ en France.
Stephen and I would like to put on record our very grateful and heartfelt thanks to you and your wonderful team at BVI. Without your constant support, guidance, help, patience and encouragement we know we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Our search for our dream home in France started five years ago but it took us until 2019 to find the perfect fit for us. The property we found ticked each and every box for us - the blue wisteria around the doors and windows, the river frontage, the pool, the AGA cooker ... and ´the project’ for our retirement together.
Unfortunately our purchase was thwarted with set backs from the start - a tenant farmer and bail that needed to be removed, and some interesting and challenging personalities in the mix.
Despite the challenges, the service we received from BVI was ´Top class’ and ´First rate’! The hard work and sheer determination of David Crews and Marion Guyot has to be applauded and we would be grateful if you could bring our personal thanks and gratitude to the attention of the Chairman and the Directors of the Board at BVI. David and Marion worked tirelessly on our behalf to get our purchase over the line. They were courteous and professional, helpful and knowledgeable, and a beacon of light throughout the process.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for your personal intervention between Christmas and the New Year when things took a turn for the worst and the vendors pulled out of the sale. Through your efforts and negotiation we got the purchase back on track.
If things weren’t challenging enough at the start of the year, COVID-19 happened and the hiatus caused further challenges and set backs. During our darkest days of ‘shielding’ the BVI beacons of light shone through, keeping our dream alive and our sanity in check.
It has been a long and winding road, but thanks to everything you, David and Marion have done for us, we have reached our rainbow's end.
Thank you all for making our dream come true.
Our kindest regards
Gill and Stephen
Above and beyond from start to sale
By Jane and Nigel, 18 June 2020
Testimonial for Heather Comber:
Jane and I would like to thank you for all the "above and beyond" help you have given us in the sale of our French property.
I am certain without your support the sale would not have proceeded.
From the moment you took the property on, we were impressed - nothing was too much trouble and this continued from showing the property to your clients whilst we were away to the final sale negotiations. We really cannot recommend your service more highly. Thank you so much.
Invaluable

Testimonial for Lucy Hollis:
I am SO glad we have an English speaking expert Property Consultant on our team - this is not a process I would have enjoyed handling on my own !
Your advice, information and help in guiding us through these procedures is invaluable - and very much appreciated. The patient and comprehensive explanations inspire confidence and make the process less of a minefield.
A huge 'Thank You!'
By Chris & Justine, 16 March 2020
Testimonial for James Cameron:
An overdue note to say a huge thank you for all that you did in helping with the house purchase. You were quick to respond whenever we needed anything and a huge help in getting everything over the line. Thanks also for bringing the fizz, it was a lovely gesture and I hope it won't be the last time that we raise a glass together at Maison des Freres! We had a great few days and can't wait to get back out at the end of the month, hope to see you then. Cheers!
With many thanks

Testimonial for Judith Whitlow
Judith has worked hard and meticulously over the years to find a buyer for our property.
She works tirelessly and calmly to bring a satisfactory conclusion to each deal for both parties.
I have to recommend her thoroughness, caring attitude and good management which she has shown in finalising this particular sale. I would also like to specially mention Fabienne, Lisa and Jane in the Monsegur and Eymet teams.
Many thanks to all of you - I will certainly recommend your agencies.
Approachable, friendly and helpful
By Nichol & Sue Kerr, 08 January 2020
Testimonial for Heather Comber:
We thought it would be good to drop you a line expressing our appreciation for the support that Heather Comber has given us in buying our house In Cherveix-Cubas.
From the start she has been very approachable, friendly and helpful - she is very easy to get on with and responded very quickly to any queries we had and always followed up. She has been very helpful in guiding us through the process and finding support when we needed it (e.g. translator, emergency plumber) and acting as the go-between with the vendors.
All of this would encourage us to recommend Beaux Villages and Heather.
Best regards
Happy New Year

Professional and charming
By G.O., 17 October 2019
Thank you so much for your continued updating of properties... it is greatly appreciated. May I take this opportunity to mention how professional and charming your staff are.
We were lucky to have Edite
By Géraldine, 23 September 2019
Myself and my husband spent the earlier part of this year searching for a new home in France.
During this time we relied heavily on Beaux Villages as we found you the most efficient and professional agents operating in France. We were lucky to have Edite as our main contact and would like to say thanks for her services; she ensured she knew our particular requirements and put an exceptional amount of time and effort in to finding a suitable home for us.
Many thanks once again.
Geraldine
Very grateful!

A big thank you to Beaux Villages

Testimonial for Geraldine Millet and Emma Waddington.
Having sold up in the south of France we were prepared to bank our euros in France and wait out 2 years until Brexit was sorted.
And then we came to Montmorillon for 5 days relaxation and suddenly fell in love with the town. We decided to tentatively view a few properties just to get a feel of what was available and at what prices, but had no plans to buy at this time.
Beaux Villages was in fact the last agent we visited in the town (so 2 others had the opportunity to sell us the house we eventually bought, but hadn't taken the opportunity to show it to us).
Geraldine listened to what our requirements were and saw I was getting enthusiastic about one (outside the town) in the Beaux Villages window. Unfortunately, it was already under offer but she searched through her books and came up with a similar one that was in the town. We felt on first viewing it was perfect for us in so many ways. We are so grateful that Geraldine showed us the property. We are finding as each day passes more ways that this is the absolutely perfect house for us.
We did a second viewing 2 days later with Emma and just knew we had to make an offer (despite the Brexit uncertainty). Emma handled the offer negotiations for us and it was a tense period for us both, as we had a finite budget of euros available from the sale of our property. She did a superb job and concluded the negotiations well within our budget, and even took the time to call us on Easter Sunday to tell us the good news.
The period that follows the offer being accepted to completion is always difficult, but Emma was always available to smoothly facilitate the process to its' conclusion. Again, we are so grateful to have the ongoing support and even after we had moved in, Emma supported us in getting the utilities sorted.
You hear so many stories about the hit and miss experiences of working with estate agents in France, but we have had both an excellent experience when we sold, and an excellent experience when we bought again.
Many thanks to you both. Sorry Geraldine, but Emma ate all the cakes that we bought for you as a thank you.
Helen is a credit to your business.

Testimonial for Helen Dawson
I recently contacted Beaux Villages as I was looking to purchase a property in France. A lovely lady called Helen Dawson subsequently contacted me and arranged for me to view several properties. Even though we had no car and were staying in Rochechouart Helen arranged to pick us up and drove us to the properties in the Dordogne. Throughout the whole day Helen was extremely warm and friendly and made the whole day very enjoyable.
Helen is a credit to your business.
Thank you all
By Xavier & Samia, 14 June 2019
After years of search we discovered Beauxvillages who enabled us to find our home in less than 2 weeks . Thank to all people we met. From Gregory who let us know Beauxvillages, Vanessa who directed us to Geraldine who understood our needs and made a very good filtering in our researchs. And then to Carola who proposed us one house who matched our needs. This first visit was done with respect of sellers intimity. We had the joy to understand that this first visit would finally be our last because it was the good one. And also to Stéphanie who took care of the compromis and is impressive in its skill domains. And Kate who is in charge of the administrative part, and is the link between us, the notaire and the sellers. Thank you all.
Delighted!
