Testimonial for Laura Croxford:

Hi Laura

Anne and I would like to thank you very much for all the help and support over the last six months, it's much appreciated. We've found the water connection and had an initial meeting with Peter. We're very happy with our purchase and had not one second thought after seeing it again last week. .

Thanks and kind regards

Can't thank Lisa enough!

By Richard and Anne, 05 June 2018

Testimonial for Lisa McKenna:

We just wanted to let you know how helpful one of your staff was with the sale of our small cottage in Haute Vienne. Lisa was fantastic in everything she did from initially visiting the house, finding another buyer when the original buyer withdrew to really helping with the administration process and even sorting out the notaire and insurance agent! Without Lisa we would have sunk like a stone under the French Administration onslaught, we can't thank her enough. We wanted to let you know about Lisa's help, she is a real asset to your company.

Yours sincerely, Richard and Anne

A rare find

By B & C, 30 May 2018

Testimonial for Lee Redican:

Just wanted to Thank you for all your help whilst we were staying in Montmorillon; it really gave us a good insight on what it would be like if we ever get to re locate there. We really were impressed with the way in which you not only showed us suitable properties for our criteria, but also you gave us a lot of very useful advice on the pitfalls and pearls that you found yourself when you re located to France. You also showed us areas of interest in the vicinity, and answered our questions honestly with us and our family in mind. You are a rare find and cannot compliment your work ethic enough. As soon as we manage to sell our property back in the U.K we will be in touch and see what you have on your books which will hopefully be as lovely as the property that we both fell in love with.

Kindest regards B & C

Testimonial for Nicole Killick:

I just wanted to say a very BIG THANK YOU for all your professionalism,effort and time helping us find a home. I am very happy to tell you that we have been blessed out of our socks with a little place in Parisot that has come through.

Very grateful for advice

By Grateful client, 17 May 2018

Testimonial for Janine Wood:

I shall definitely recommend Beaux Villages to anyone else going through the process, services such as the Smart Currency have been very useful, and of course it was good knowing that we could contact you for advice whenever about whatever.

Thanks and all the best!

Honesty, knowledge and experience

By 2 Very Happy Clients, 11 April 2018

Testimonial for Anne Kemp-Reynolds:

Thank you again for arranging our viewings, we all found you to be highly processional and informative. As mentioned your knowledge, experience and honesty were appreciated and extremely helpful. This was also beneficial to our understanding of the local area and living in France. Additionally the fact that your company provides far more quality pictures on your website makes the experience of viewing properties online easier and you get a much better insight to what is on offer.

Just to say thanks

By Pete, 11 April 2018

Testimonial for Geof Cryer and Janine Wood:

Dear Geof and Janine, Marguerite and I wanted to thank you very much indeed for the work leading up to the sale of little house. We're very pleased with the outcome, and we hope that they will be happy in their new home. The Notaire was extremely efficient and I do hope that you are able to use her in the future. With many thanks and kind regards,

Easy currency exchange

By Karen, 15 March 2018

Testimonial for our partners at Smart Currency Exchange:

I wanted to let you know that we transferred our deposit money to the Notary earlier this week. We used Smart (Currency Exchange) who were very easy to deal with, thanks for the recommendation.

Great website!

By Christopher, 12 March 2018

Because your website is so well constructed and comprehensive (far and away the best French property website we have visited) it is possible to get a real feel of the properties and will hopefully prevent a lot of time-wasting further down the line.

Supportive and knowledable

By Len Bailey, 06 March 2018

Testimonial for Caroline Oliver, Sarah Dyer-Bernet and Anna Stewart:

We found Beaux Villages when we first came to the Dordogne. We tried another agency but immediately found that the BVI staff knew the properties, were much more amenable and spoke English, which was a great help. It took us almost 2 years to find our new home, during this time we never felt that we were being rushed to find somewhere. They took their time to explain all aspects of property purchase, here in France, and to make sure our home would be the one we were after.

Thanks to Caroline for all the hard work and patience shown on our behalf and thank you also to Sarah – Lalinde office and to Anna – Verteillac office who have been very supportive since we found our “dream home”.

Professional, friendly and helpful

By Mr and Mrs G, 31 January 2018

Testimonial for Jemma Simkins:

We just wanted to say how fantastic Jemma has been over the duration of our property purchase. We first met Jemma in the Spring of last year, when we were searching in her area. She was so professional, friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. She made all the other agents we saw look quite useless! When we eventually found our property, although it wasn’t Jemma who showed it to us, it was her we turned to when we couldn't get the answers we needed. (I hasten to add I am a bit of a hasty responder and ‘must know now’ merchant, having run our own businesses in Jersey and UK -including an estate agency!) Jemma picked up the requests and found the answers needed quickly and efficiently. Finally yesterday the Acte de Vente was signed under proxy. It was Jemma’s email that greeting us this morning congratulating us - the notaire’s appeared later! We will have no hesitation in recommending Beaux Villages to one and all because of Jemma - for that we thank her. As too many are quick to complain, we just wanted to compliment for a change.

Good service

By Beaux Villages Applicant, 28 January 2018

Testimonial for Carol Wells:

Thank you very much for sending through the property details. You have been busy and a good selection, We have also heard from (other agents), but in fairness I do feel the level of service we have had from you has been very impressive so far, and I would much rather deal with you.

I would recommend Beaux Villages

By David, 25 January 2018

Testimonial for Karen Fritchley and Anne Kemp-Reynolds:

Just a quick note to thank you both most sincerely for all your help in purchasing our new property.

I certainly could not have expected any more ***stance from you both. None of my dumb questions seemed too dumb and you both were ever so patient, which I really do appreciate.

I certainly would recommend the services of Beaux Villages to anyone in a similar position in wanting to buy in the Dordogne.

All kind wishes and heartfelt thanks.

David

Professional and courteous

By Brian Leaker MBE, 02 January 2018

Testimonial for Lucy Hollis:

Now the dust has settled and we have concluded a purchase in France I wish to write to commend Lucy Hollis, she was extremely professional, courteous and represented your business in a very professional manner. My only regret was not being able to find a property for purchase from you but be assured I have already promoted to other potential buyers of property your company. Hope you and especially Lucy have a busy and profitable 2018

Dream Team !

By Martin Henderson, 28 December 2017

Testimonial for the Team at Tournon d'Agenais..

So you do the usual....cruise the websites, select a broad area, perhaps even venture into offices that have pictures in window of properties for sale..."how hard can it be ?" you ask yourself !...What you forget to think about is the added value a good agent will bring - and Beaux Villages do just that - willingly, with good nature and a high quality service - from phone calls, viewing properties (some occupied, some not), finding the property in the first place ! Email correspondence, worries about anything, advice about the things you'll need: bank accounts; money transfer; perhaps even a contact for a local trades-person, and of course interpretation of "legal-ese"....the list goes on.

Beaux Villages helped us find what we were looking for - and after 3 years of looking and dreaming ....they unlocked the door for us! A genuine thank you to the team, and I mean "team" - because you get the TEAM, not just one agent.

Special thanks though to Kevin and Judith, a great couple that have the experience, first hand, know what its like and can unlock the dream you've been looking for. 

Thanks all 

Martin & Kimbely

On the ball and very rare...

By Christine Nelson, 07 December 2017

Testimonial for Beaux Villages Immobilier:

Just a line to thank you for all your help this year, you are by far the best immobillier we have had, on the ball with all our many viewings that you have brought round our house and always a feedback which is very rare with the others.

Christine

We would be very happy to recommend your services

By penelope, 25 October 2017

Testimonial for Carol Wells:

Dear Carol We would just like to say how grateful we are for all your help and advice about properties and the area. You kindly took us around to visit some beautiful properties last week. It was a very busy and productive week. Even if we haven't found our dream property with BVI it wasn't for the lack of lovely properties you showed us. Once again, Thank you. You were a part of that process that could be very stressful, but you made it a pleasure. We would be very happy to recommend your services in the future. We wish you all the best.

Kind regards A&P

At last an agent who gives that little extra

By Terry, 06 September 2017

Testimonial for Beaux Villages Immobilier:

I've been searching, it seems forever, for a property in France and have become increasingly frustrated by what appears to be an element of "do-little" agencies, who upload 6 photos with a very brief 2 line description and then charge 7% and more; my best to date has been 6 words and 3 pictures and a commission of 9% !!!

Whilst I haven't found that elusive "perfect" property on Beaux Villages, I'm sure I've got 20 times more chance of finding it here than with other "agents". I am regularly seeing 20+ pictures and comprehensive descriptions, if only others took the hint.

Meanwhile, I'll get back to the search :-)

Outshining other agents

By Geoffrey Davis, 17 August 2017

Testimonial for Nicole Killick

I recommend this firm. Nicole has been very proactive and has outshone the other agents acting both in terms of proactivity and helpfulness. She is bringing us more viewings by quite a margin and a lot of French families. The latest yesterday was a French family based in Paris. It was a bank holiday so very peaceful!!

You sounded knowledgeable enough to know about the CGT and Social Tax that can be levied on a sale. I am slowly understanding the position.
