Buying your new property with A Place in France

A Place in France clients are assured of continued personal and professional attention throughout the duration of the purchasing process.

Our property owners’ feedback

“Dear Veronique,

Villedieu-les-Poeles is a fine development of architectural merit. The design of the two apartment blocks are sensitive to the local environment both in scale and appearance and so the developers are to be congratulated.

A real bonus is its proximity to Villedieu centre. Within a ten minute walk I can sample a very lively market, enjoy a ‘café crème’ at a pavement table or dine at one of many fine places to eat in this charming town.

However with professional assistance of yourself and other in your office my first ‘French dream’ is now a reality. Thank you for all the guidance over the last two years, its been a purchasing venture I have enjoyed and would not hesitate in recommending the services of A Place in France.”

Mr Talbot  September 2008

“Just a quick thank you for the advice the other day over the TV license questionnaire form (…) it is very good of you help me out (…). Enjoying the apartment we bought through you and appreciate your continued support.”

Mr Chandler April 2008

"The before and after-sales service provided by A Place in France during the purchase of our apartment has been invaluable throughout the whole process.  As we do not have a command of the French language, nor knowledge of the legal process, A Place in France have dealt with all our queries quickly and effectively.  We would highly recommend that anybody purchasing a property in France should consider the great benefits and assistance that A Place in France can give."

Mrs Thorne January 2008

“Dear Veronique

Just a brief word to thank you for all your help and guidance during the past few months. It was greatly appreciated. My visit to the apartment in Vinassan went very smoothly. (...) I have no complaints whatsoever and thought the apartment and the complex were delightful.”

Mr  D. Williams December 2007

“Dear Veronique,

… we have taken possession of the keys to our house in La Palmyre, so far it has lived up to our expectations so we are very pleased.

So thanks for you help with this purchase from start to finish…

Buying a house in this country is stressful enough never mind one abroad, so having your team on the end of a phone for reassurances and to solve any minor problems for us with the French language etc has been of great comfort to my wife and I.

So all we have to do now is furnish our new house as we have a queue of friends desperate to use it in the summer.”

 Mr & Mrs Edgerton-Smith December 2007

“We just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help over the last year. We have taken the keys to our new place and we are incredibly pleased and excited. It is a great house and in a beautiful part of Brittany. We think we have made the right decision to go for new build with all the guarantees and support this entails. Already the house has gone up in value and we have the peace of mind of knowing that things like garden maintenance and servicing are taken care of as part of the package. It is our first venture abroad and with your help it has been very painless and it has even encouraged us to think about further investment in France. Thanks for all the help with translations, sorting out the red tape and holding our hand through the process, your help has been invaluable.” 

Mr & Mrs Larkin September 2007

“Buying a property abroad can be a daunting proposition. We chose to purchase our holiday home in the south-west of France and put our faith and trust in the hands of A Place in France. From the beginning the help and guidance were first class and any fears about purchasing abroad were quickly dispelled. All stages went like clockwork and after-sales service has been equally impressive. The service and friendliness of the staff has been, and still is one year after delivery, of the highest order. 

In fact, we have been so impressed with the company that we intend to purchase our permanent new-build residence in the Languedoc with A Place in France.

We would not hesitate to recommend A Place in France to anybody.” 

Mr & Mrs Bamber September 2007

“I have just returned from our home in St Arnoult after two weeks holiday, my wife is still there for all Summer. It is fabulous, we have been really pleased with our purchase.”

Mr R. Bashforth August 2007

“We were both very happy and confident throughout the process about the service A Place in France provided to us. It was a trouble-free transaction all the way and we're delighted with our new home!  I would be happy to recommend your company and, indeed, the developers, to friends and relatives.”

Mrs Flynn-Waters July 2007

“I have found your company to be professional, helpful, attentive and in particular I have felt all along the process that you were not just selling me a house but that you were there to manage any issues that arose”.

C & J Phillips May 2007

“A Place in France and the developer have made the buying process for me effortless and enjoyable due to an informative and professional team”.

J. Spellacy April 2007

“We know have a delivery date for our apartment in Normandy. During the course of the building it has been very reassuring to know that you have been there to help us when we have struggled with some of the documentation and we have been very grateful for your support.”

Mrs J. Tite – March 2006

“Just a short note to thank you all at A Place in France for the continuing help we are receiving with the problems at our apartment in France. Everyone has been most helpful and we are grateful to be dealing with a company which lives up to its promises. We are aware that it is nearly 2 years since we completed the purchase and it would have been simple to shrug your shoulders and disclaim responsibility. On the contrary, everyone has been extremely helpful.”

A & G Norris – February 2006

“We are writing to tell you that we successfully took on responsibility for our Brittany apartment at the end of January and are delighted with it. We also record our appreciation for the service and assistance that A Place in France gave us in the purchase process.”

S & P Wanless – February 2006

“Now that our business with our new apartment in Brittany is concluded, I wanted to write and thank you for all your help over the past couple of years. You have made the whole process seem very easy although I am sure it is not and it is largely due to your efforts behind the scenes. Thank you too for never making me feel guilty, despite the many emails, phone calls, questions and queries.”

G Holt – February 2006

“Many thanks for all your help. I must say that your level of Customer Service was exceptional”

D. McClaren - 2006

“It is good to know that I can contact you with questions about the house and you will still help. I am very happy that I bought the house through A Place in France and have recommended you to colleagues and friends of mine.”

D Hargreaves - September 2005

“Since we first found the details of the development, all our questions have been answered, telephone calls returned and documents explained and translated. You have been so re-assuring that at no time we were ever left to feel we were alone to deal with the builders”. M. P. Smith - September 2005

“Thank you so much for all your help. Our “place in France” is wonderful.”

C & T Gunter - June 2005

P & S. Jones - July 2004

“Thank you for all your help with buying our French property. We now have a beautiful apartment almost complete with furniture and a well equipped kitchen. You helped to make the process easy for us and we were especially grateful that it was unnecessary to travel backwards and forwards to France for small amounts of time to execute business arrangements. We also felt very supported by your expertise throughout the process.”

L & G Giles – June 2004

“We can report that the work has been completed and everything is working correctly. With your patience and understanding we can now enjoy our time in Provence. Please accept our grateful thanks for all that your staff have done for us.”
