Eric Garnier and his team were excellent

Buyers

By Siobhan and Andy Bailey, 02 September 2024

We were very impressed by the swift responses from Beaux Villages which always matched the criteria for our house search. Nothing was ever considered to be a problem. Eric Garnier was a fountain of knowledge and good advice who showed us countless properties until we found the one for us. During the period between the first offer and final signing, Eric and the staff at Beaux Villages were always on hand to help us navigate the process.

Invaluable support

Top-notch service from David Smethurst and the team!

By Brian Stead, 29 July 2024

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.

Highly recommended if you are selling

Merilees Moran is a wonderful agent who found us the perfect buyers. She helped simplify the whole process and was at all times very responsive, professional, and helpful. She not only gave good advice but also listened. We recommend her highly.

I would like to commend Rob Kearley, Marion and all who have ensured the smooth passage of our house purchase. Nothing has been too much trouble and every question has been answered promptly and the few problems have been dealt with most efficiently. This transaction is now complete and to our entire satisfaction.
Yours sincerely,

Thank you David Smethurst

I should like to record my appreciation of the service that I received from you and your colleagues at Beaux Villages, in the recent sale of my house. It was unfailingly responsive, courteous and constructive. In a difficult selling period, the team was able to generate regular viewings by 'proceedable' buyers. I also used two other agencies and Beaux Villages promoted far more viewings than these other agencies. However, not only was I able to benefit from the high level of service from front line staff, I was very impressed by the efficiency and responsiveness of  the legal department who liaised very effectively between the parties and the Notaire. I have had no hesitation in recommending Beaux Villages to friends.
Best wishes,
Christopher Davis

David Smethurst was a top notch agent

Buyers

By Jeremy and Marlene Hervey, 24 June 2024

We wanted to write you a short note to thank you for all your help over the last few months and for being a ‘top notch” estate agent. Finding a property in France was quite challenging since we had so many criteria on our tick list, but our biggest worry was actually “purchasing’’ the house. We came accross so many estate agents too uninterested to even sell us a house and therefore were left thinking how difficult was the actual process of buying a house going to be? Had we known we were going to come accross someone as helpful as you, we would not have needed to worry because with your assistance it was remarkably easy. This was mainly due to your patience (apologies again for all the emails and the phone calls) but also the fact that you were always so quick to answer any queries/ worries we had. With your support and your step-by-step guidance throughout the whole process, the purchase of our new home in France was truly stress free and a really enjoyable experience. So a huge thank you and all the very best for the future.
Kindest regards,
Jeremy and Marlene

We loved working with Merrilees and highly recommend her as a Property Consultant. She is clearly an expert, and she took care to understand our needs and offer us options to consider - all with ample and welcome advice and context. We enjoyed spending time with her and appreciated her patience with us as first time French property buyers! Brava!

We just wanted to say a very big “thank you” to you both for all your help and support over the last few months during our purchase of our fabulous new home. It really is a great property and we are all looking forward to spending many happy times there with our friends and family. Your knowledge, advice, and always a prompt reply throughout the process, made it so much easier for us. It was the best 60th birthday present I could have asked for, having turned 60 just last week! We are all looking forward to a new chapter in France and appreciate all the help you gave us.
With our thanks and kind regards,
Bennett family

Buyers

It has been almost 3 weeks since we bought our dream house in France. For this I would like to thank your team very much for the great guidance until the purchase of our house. We would like to thank Mahsa Newman very much for the professional handling of our file. She was always available for any questions and always replied very quickly. A big congratulations for that. Coincidentally, we met other people here whom she also assisted and they had the same impression. In other words, many thanks to the entire team. We will recommend you highly to potential buyers whenever possible. 
Best regards,
Lilianne and Walter
