Full support for French property buyers

A few years ago, my husband and I purchased a house in Charente, a decision I had been eager to make since 2014, though he required some additional persuasion. We ended up buying the very first property we viewed, and by late 2017, we embarked on our new adventure.

We had assistance from an agent during the purchasing process, which I highly recommend, as it provided us with a reliable point of contact for negotiations and updates throughout our journey. However, we found the lack of additional support disappointing.

Choosing to relocate to a foreign country is a significant decision, and any help that can ease the transition is invaluable. We faced challenges such as figuring out how to transfer funds for the best market rates, identifying trustworthy removal companies, obtaining assistance with paperwork, opening bank accounts, securing house insurance, handling visa applications, managing taxes, and planning wealth management. These were hurdles we had to navigate on our own, which proved to be difficult, time-consuming, frustrating, and often quite confusing. With so much conflicting information from various sources, it would have been incredibly beneficial to have guidance on reliable service providers that possess the expertise to facilitate a smooth transition.

We excel in matching you with properties you will love, allowing you to begin your new life in France. We can also connect you with specialists who will make the process as seamless as possible.
