Being articulate in French and having a business background have proved invaluable in tackling the sometimes complex planning legislation and local authority system. They have also enabled us to negotiate successfully with local builders and other tradespeople, whilst taking into account their fondness for the famous phrase ‘la semaine prochaine…!’ From our own experience we understand that buying a house in France can be daunting. We are happy to answer any queries, however small, and our aim is to enable you to get through the process in as relaxed a way as possible, and get down to some serious enjoyment of the French experience.
