Testimonial for Abel and Victoria

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team, Abel and Victoria, for the great work you have done. Being so far away is very difficult, but I am delighted that my family have had the good fortune to have such a tenacious and dedicated team help them achieve a good result. Thank you all.

Excellent service from Shannon Daly

Buyers

By Jackie & Alan, 30 April 2019

We would highly recommend Shannon as she worked tirelessly searching with us for a property. She fully understood our brief and showed us properties we had not been aware of and was a mine of information regarding the properties and regions we searched... Shannon and the support staff at Beaux Villages were exceptional.

Brilliant service from Shannon Daly

Buyers

By Brian and Debbie Attrill, 01 April 2019

Shannon was able to take us to properties that met our needs from the very start-she understood exactly what we were looking for.

The whole process of buying was made very easy and comfortable as we really felt that Shannon went over and above for us.

Any emails were answered very quickly - on days that Shannon was probably not even meant to be working!! She also handled the setting up of services and guided us through the whole process. Cant recommend Shannon enough !!!!

A credit to the company...

Testimonial for Jemma Simkins:

Just sold our lovely house and expertly helped every step of the way by Jemma Simkins, she's a credit to the company. We will always recommend Beaux Villages to anyone we know that wants to buy a property in France.

Excellent standard

Testimonial for Karen Cankalis:

I recently sold my house with you with Karen Cankalis as my contact. I want to comment on the standard of her service which was absolutely excellent. The house sold within a couple of days of going on the market, the photos she took were extremely professional which obviously worked. Throughout the whole procedure Karen was there for me during what would have been a very stressful time. I have personally thanked her but wanted to let you know my opinions too. Incidentally I also used SMART for my money transfer to the UK who were also very helpful and efficient.

I have already recommended your company to many of my friends of whom I am sure many will contact you.

Thank you once again and kind regards

Brenda Metcalfe

Testimonial for Anna Stewart

Many thanks to Anna for all her help with our purchase of our wonderful little house in the Dordogne. She is incredibly patient and kept us apprised all throughout the process (which grew arms and legs) from first viewings to finally receiving the keys. Anna's involvement didn't end there - she's also assisted with transfer of utilities etc which is so helpful. Cannot recommend enough!

Testimonial for Nico Janssens:

We first purchased our property in France in 2008 and Nicolas was there to help us through the process, from showing us the house right through to the signing for the property at the Notaire. Nicolas was extremely helpful and explained everything to us, his language skills really helped with this and he always did this with a sense of humour and a smile on his face. We stayed in touch with Nicolas all of the time we owned our property and of course when we decided to sell 10 years later Nicolas was the obvious choice to sell our property. Nicolas always kept in touch and kept us informed of the process. As we have known Nicolas for so long we remain in touch and consider ourselves friends rather than business acquaintances and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone thinking of buying a property in France

Exemplary service...now friends!

Testimonial for Mike Sweetman and Helen Stothard:

I am about to finalise the paperwork on my new house here in France in the lovely village of Verteuil sur Charente.  I just want to put on record my gratitude to the Beaux Villages team in Verteuil, and in particular Mr Mike Sweetman, and his colleague Helen, I'm sorry I've forgotten her surname, who have been exemplary in guiding me through the process. I would like to class Mike now amongst my friends, as he was always available to answer my queries, and provide me with information regarding insurance, notaires, the Marie, setting up a bank account, the list goes on. I think we hit it off immediately as we are both ex fire officers, and there is always a bond between firefighters of any nationality. Therefore thank you to Mike and Helen, and if asked by anyone as to where to go to purchase a property here, I would say that you can't do better than Beaux Villages.

Made our dream a reality.

Testimonial for Ali Feeney:

We bought our dream home in France through Alexandra Feeney of Beaux Villages. We had already spent a lot of time researching the area and looking online so we had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for. We had contact with other agents but none matched the service we were given by Ali. She was very attentive to our needs and wants and spent a lot of time getting to know us and the sort of property we had in mind. The viewings reflected this attention to detail and we soon found ‘the one’. She even sacrificed a beautiful pair of suede shoes when showing us a house with very muddy land attached!! From viewing to the day we got the keys, Ali guided us through the process and was a constant reassurance during what can be a stressful process. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Ali and the Beaux Villages team in Eymet, who, in our opinion and experience, stand head and shoulders above other local agents. Thank you Ali, for making our dream become a reality.

We would definitely recommend Beaux Villages

Testimonial for Lee Redican:

Lee was recommended to us from friends who have recently sold their house as we were dissatisfied with the previous agents. We are very pleased with the way in which our house was marketed and the speed at which Lee started arranging viewings. Lee kept us informed before and after viewings, which was very useful. We went through a negotiating period and Lee was very good providing guidance to ensure it resulted in an acceptable offer. Following on from this, Emma has been very supportive. It’s quite a stressful process to get all of the paperwork together but Emma has provided guidance and updates to this date. We would definitely recommend Beaux Villages.

Supportive, communicative and friendly!

Testimonial for Jacqui Reddin-Williams:

We would just like to say a high thank you to Jacqui Reddin from Beaux Village in Jonzac. Not only did she sell our house before it was even advertised, she held our hand throughout the process. Communicated well, was very supportive and felt like our friend throughout. We felt we could contact her at any time and she would always respond. We have no hesitation in recommending her services to our friends. Thank you.

Nothing too much trouble

Testimonial for Angella Turner:

Dear Angella, Our experience with you is first class. From the first meeting with you, the property stole my heart. I think you showed us everything there was to see. During the second meeting, we wanted to see the grounds, and take a better look at the property, helped to arrange a builder to come as well. Can I just say that this was done over Christmas, and nothing was too much trouble. All questions were answered promptly, and all appointments were on time. We asked for the local builders merchants and second hand shops which you promptly supplied. Thank you very much for all your help.

So glad we chose Beaux Villages!

Testimonial for Edite Hill:

Edite our agent, was extremely helpful right from the start. She sent us the property details and answered a multitude of questions, recommended a local hotel for us to stay at for our viewing, set up and attended the notaire with us and was always on hand to help us. This was often outside of regular office hours. In a process that was extremely stressful it was reassuring to have Edite who could speak English and French. Knowing that we were only in France for the weekend, she gave up her Sunday morning to prepare our paperwork to start buying our dream property! We can’t imagine purchasing through a private sale and we are glad we chose Beaux Villages.

I have every confidence in recommending BVI

Testimonial for Jemma Simkins, Dirk Renders and Marion Guyot:

My first contact with Beaux Villages was some time after putting my house and surrounding land on the market. An agent had put a " For Sale " sign at the end of the lane and the local agent of Beaux Villages called in to see me. She explained that my property was the type that they frequently handled and asked if I would give them the opportunity to market it. When I agreed she inspected the house thoroughly and took photographs inside and out, following this with a very detailed questionnaire. I was impressed by her thoroughness. Beaux Villages' agent brought several interested potential buyers to view the house and surroundings and then one with a firm offer of the asking price. A substantial amount of additional information was requested for the first legal agreement (the Compromis de Vente) and so I visited their regional office where I met both the manager and the lady who collated the information ready for the Notaire to prepare the agreement. The usual complications and minor queries arose at this stage, but again I was impressed with the competence and ability that the staff exercised. In due course in conjunction with the Notaire, they helped to prepare the final sales agreement the (Acte de Vente) and the sale was completed. I therefore have every confidence in recommending Beaux Villages to handle the sale of similar country properties.

Thank you for your help!

Testimonial for Janine Wood,

Firstly I want to thank you for the time, knowledge and professionalism from yourself in regard to our search for the right property for us.

You also helped me identify some areas/ villages nearby that I liked more than others. Also although I did look in a couple of other Immobilier windows, you were the only person I arranged to see properties with. Just the feeling that you understood what we were looking for.

I cannot thank you enough for your time and hope to visit again when we come back to buy our home. I wish you good luck in your ventures.

Bonne Chance
