The team were there every step of the way

By Matt Romeril, 09 January 2023

A truly knowledgable, friendly, and professional team that managed the whole buying process - from viewings, to handing over the keys on purchase date, and everything in between.

The multilingual team were on hand at all times to answer any questions and advise on any matters we weren’t sure of (there were lots).

I would highly recommend Chris, Jo, Nicki, and the team at Beaux Villages for anyone wanting to buy or sell a property!

Highly recommended

Beaux Villages exceeded our expectations

By Sheila Maddox, 30 December 2022

We have nothing but good things to say about Julie and Kevin from Beaux Villages. Our home purchase exceeded our expectations and was completed in record time. They were with us every step of the way and handled our questions efficiently and professionally. Their expertise helped to make the process a pleasant and rewarding experience. I feel we developed a lasting relationship and hope to meet up with them again, soon!

I am incredibly grateful to Jacqui

By Lesley Lindley, 22 December 2022

I am writing to commend the service of Jacqui Reddin-Williams in the sale of my property and without whom, I am certain I would never have managed. She was constantly proactive, very helpful, reassuring and dealt with all the issues that arose, and there were several along the way, in a most efficient manner and calmed all my fears and worries.

I would recommend her and Beaux Villages without hesitation and am incredibly grateful for her pulling everything together to make the completion happen. I cannot thank her enough.

Thanks for all your work and support

Mark was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and friendly

By Mr and Mrs Rudd, 11 December 2022

For over a year, we have been liaising with Mark Roelofsen of Beaux Villages. Mark has been assisting us with our French property search in the Southwest of France. During this time, we worked with a number of agencies in order to find the right property. The service received from Mark was exceptional and ‘second to none’. Although our property requirements changed over time, Mark was patient and listened carefully to our wishes. Each property we expressed an interest in was quickly followed by full details enabling us to shortlist accurately. When the right house was eventually found, Mark took the time to arrange ‘virtual viewings’ and accompanied us on the actual viewing. After our offer was accepted Mark ‘guided’ us through the process even attending the final signing with the Notaire. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mark and Beaux Villages to any prospective French property buyer. Extremely knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and professional is how we would describe the Mark.

Friendly, responsive and trustworthy

By Carrie Culling, 02 December 2022

I am in the uk and After spending over a week looking for properties in France and not having much luck with anyone getting back to me I had a response from Julie.
She has been amazing with helping me find a property suitable for my dad who has been unwell and living in France.
She is incredibly responsive and has done everything she could to answer all my questions and give me all the information I needed on the houses we were interested in so we could make an informed decision.
She even took the time to do a video viewing with me so I could look at the property even though I couldn't be there in person.
She has helped me navigate my way around the french housing market with her wealth of knowledge.
It has been a very stressful situation with my dad and Julie has made it so much easier, I can't thank her and her partner enough.
She is friendly, professional,responsive and trustworthy
I can't recommend her enough
Thank you again Julie

Henry was fantastic!

By Sophie Daw, 28 November 2022

Henry took all the stresses of buying my recent property abroad. He was always there to answer any questions I had promptly and kept me updated throughout the process. Henry was also there to help me set upy bills which was invaluable given the language difference. I would have no hesitation in recommending Henry for any house purchase or sale. Thank you so much.

Very impressed with Elé and Catherine

Thank you Jacqui

Jacqui Reddin Williams is amazing. The best real estate agent and most wonderful person. Proactive and professional. Highly recommended for any French property sales or purchases in the Charente-Maritime region.

Jacqui guided us through everything

By Phil and Mary Jones, 21 October 2022

We had been looking to buy our perfect French home for the best part of five years. Jacqui Reddin-Williams was fundamental in our success in finding our dream home! Due to the circumstance surrounding the property, this was not a straight forward purchase. There were many twists and turns and we were so happy that Jacqui was there to hold our hands and guide us through the process. It would be true to say that without Jacqui we would have moved on to other properties and would not have been able to “live the dream”.

Thank you Jacqui!

Exceptional service from Eric Garnier

By David and Lisa Hills, 18 October 2022

10/10… Beaux Villages, we cannot recommend you highly enough. Eric Garnier based in the Monflanquin office has just been exceptional, from our first meeting with him, to completing on our dream French home, he (and his delightful colleagues) has made our purchasing journey run extremely smoothly and we are truly grateful to him for all of his help and patience, an absolute star! We literally cannot thank you enough.

Outstanding professional guidance from David Smethurst

By Roman K, 17 October 2022

When it comes to the purchase of a house in France you don't need a real estate broker. What you need is much more than that: a consultant who accompanies you all the way of a quite complex transaction. From diplomatic mediation between seller and buyer, over to the documentation-crazyness of Franch bureaucrazy, to finally getting water and power supply switched to the new account. We would like to thank David Smethurst of Beaux Villages for his outstanding professional guidance in purchasing our Chateau near LaRochelle. David is not a real estate broker, he is the tusted advisor you are looking for.

Outstanding

By Tim Webber, 13 October 2022

Thank you so much for the excellent service provided throughout the purchase of our new home in France. Outstanding support given and exceptional communication, you put a lot of energy into this purchase of ours. You showed the upmost professionalism throughout , your knowledge and support was brilliant.

Jacqui has been excellent!

Excellent service from the BVI team in Verteuil

By Krissy and Colin Jones, 23 September 2022

We are very happy we chose Beaux Villages to sell our house and it was a pleasure working with David Smethurst. He was professional, knowledgeable and communicated well throughout the process. We would recommend BVI and the very friendly and helpful David to any future buyers or sellers.

Kate and the BVI team were fabulous

By Duncan and Jo Abbott, 21 September 2022

Ordinarily, buying a French property is by no means for the faint hearted – but with the help from Beaux Villages and in particular, Kate Ryle, we found the whole process a pleasurable, exciting journey.  

It starts off with their comprehensive, easy to use website and its affiliation with the more worldwide property sites such as Right Move. Once we decided upon budget, location etc. we simply clicked on a button requesting more information, viewing details, visa requirements etc.  

Enter Kate, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and crucially fluent in French (because we aren’t!) armed with a brief to find us a typical French home, full of character, with some land to grow our own veg and a large space for me to set up a workshop. We booked a few days at an AirBnB in Verteuil to check out the area that was home to our first two choices, the problem was – we weren’t alone, we were pipped to the post by other buyers a couple of days before we flew out to France.  Undeterred, safe in the knowledge that Kate still had several other properties to show us we viewed four other properties. All the properties that we viewed mirrored the information supplied, there were no hidden surprises. But it soon became apparent that we hadn’t considered what it would be like living in a remote area. Kate realised this and after we had viewed the final house for the day suggested that we return to her office in Charroux to pick up keys for a property that had recently become available. Close to the vibrant village centre boasting a couple of bars, a market and a few shops, this sous sol set in a fruit tree laden acre of land not to mention enough space for two man-caves! We fell in love with the house, returned for a second look the following day and made an offer on the house that was accepted. We returned to England chuffed to bits.  

Job done for Kate you’d think, oh no, this was just the beginning. Kate arranged the surveys and subsequent repairs to the oil tank, personally oversaw an oil delivery, arranged and oversaw the repair of the macerating toilet (and negotiated for the vendors to pay), accompanied us to the notaires meeting, translated in person when negotiating the purchase of the owner’s sit-on lawnmower. Kate was always available to answer any questions about the labyrinth of French laws and red tape. I could go on… let’s just say Kate didn’t go the extra mile, she ran a marathon to ensure the house purchase went smoothly and provided the most incredible aftersales service once we had moved into the house.

I really can’t recommend Kate or Beaux Villages highly enough. I would also like to add that Kate is part of a well-run team who in her absence were equally helpful, courteous and professional.

Doug went above and beyond

By Kass Wiseman, 20 September 2022

Douglas Hines is a professional, patient and informed estate agent.  He brings good knowledge of the market and local area and nothing is too much trouble. I found Doug more like an Adviser than an agent.  He has a great network to draw on, and is responsive, be it evening or weekend and has delivered everything he promised, even after the completion; he is still on hand for advice! I will most certainly recommend, and have done, for sales and purchasers, and will undoubtedly use again in the future. Thank you.

Very impressed with Beaux Villages Immobilier
