What we do

With the presence of the internet, a mass of information available in the press, plenty of UK-based property companies as well as plenty of French Estate Agents saying they speak English and can assist why would you need the services of someone like Ardèche Property Finder?

In this time poor society we live in you can have 1000 magazines, 100s of internet site and dozens of Estate Agents to contact but have you got the time? Do you know what to look for and where?

Ardèche Property Finder offers a truly personal touch through the property finding maze. There are no big names behind us and no flashy suits or sales patter just a genuine love of France, and more particularly the region of the Ardèche, and some old-fashioned personal experience. We also speak the language fluently which helps! We are dedicated to making the process of finding and buying a property and then moving into your new home as effortless as possible so that can enjoy life “à la française” as soon as possible.

In the Ardèche:

We work with a highly experienced Estate Agency in the Ardèche and all the properties in our region have been visited prior to proposing them to you. We will discuss with you in detail what you are looking for in your property – a second home for holidays or retirement, an investment, a rental opportunity…..and provide the “hand-holding” along the path to final signatures and then beyond to moving into your new home.

Other regions in France:

If your heart is already set on another area in France and we cannot persuade you otherwise we can also assist you in searching for a property in other regions around France. We would put together a portfolio of properties that meet your requirements and accompany you on your visits if this is required.

Our service has varying levels but the complete portfolio is based on:
  • Initial discussions – questionnaire - to define the type of property required
  • A search and a portfolio of properties to be presented for visit
  • A review of this portfolio prior to any trips being made
  • Assistance during the house visits
  • Assistance through the purchase process:
    • Visits to the properties
    • Assistance with the property purchase
    • Assistance with the solicitor
    • Assistance with the bank
    • Assistance with building quotes and local town hall administration
  • Guidance through the French legal and taxation maze
  • Our “Settling-in” service ; settling you in to your new home or property.
    • Helping with the electricity, water and gas connection, telephone and internet, and much more…..
  • Advice on setting yourself up in France : running a business and being self-employed in France is not always as easy as in the UK and we can help and advise here
  • House checking service : this is a separate service but one just as useful for you as a second home owner (Ardèche only)

At the end of the day we have been through the process you are embarking on and we would like to share some of our experience and make your search a happy one.
