Hello David, Apologies for not getting back to you sooner.... but we have been quite busy!,

I think initially it was a lucky break that we made contact with Cle France at the beginning of our search for a property in France.

The whole process from initial advice on various topics and viewing a shortlist of properties was a pleasure and hassle free. The advice and information on the website is very informative especially with regard to money transfers with your currency partner who was very user friendly and professional.

We are very happy with the house  and currently putting finishing touches to it.

Thanks to both you and Sharon for making this a positive experience.

Regards John & Judy.

Buying a House in Normandy or indeed buying a house in any region of France with the French Property Network - Cle France is easy and stress free, John and Judy think so and so will you.

Hi David & Sharon,

You certainly have a smooth operation everything fits together like a well oiled clock, I found the whole process of buying a property in France straightforward thanks to you & your partners from the Immobilier to your currency partner, I would definitely recommend you to anyone thinking of buying a property in France.

Thanks again James & Radka.

We do seem to have 'hit a stride' with finding really nice clients! finding nice houses in France to sell is easy for us at least with our network of French agents who are en forme (and our English agents and other nationalities of course). Finding vendors motivated to sell and finding buyers ready to buy is becoming less and less of a challenge as at the moment the time is just right for buying a house in France with us at Cle France - The French Property Network.

We wish James and Radka many years of enjoying there French home in rural Normandy.

Thanks David, your information may prove to be very helpful, we are very interested in this property and are likely to have a discussion about it after my wife has seen it on Friday, so I suspect I am likely to call you after the event.

Having said all this and taking account of the fact that the property has been empty for some time we have had quite a number of disappointing viewings in France. It's understandable that property photographs show properties in their best light, but the surroundings and the less attractive aspects of a property have let many down and left us disappointed.

Fingers crossed on this one.

Rest assured though - a few dead flies in the house and weeds in the garden won't mask a properties potential in my wife's eyes. She's very good at seeing through the cobwebs :-)

Thanks ever so much for your help. So much better than [removed] Immo. In fact there's no comparison. Wish we had known about you earlier.

Kindest regards, Chris.

It is a constant frustration for us as well as our clients that some agents do not update images of property for sale in France. We like to get our agents to update images but also a house can be 'for sale' in France for 2, 3, 4 years and that would not be unusual, it would not mean there is anything wrong with the house just that the market in rural France is slower than british clients are used to.

Rest assured we always make sure our clients know what to expect when booking a viewing on a property we have for sale in the many regions of France.

Hi Sharon,

We had a lovely time in Normandy & managed to see a range of properties which gave us much food for thought.

It opened our eyes as what to expect & not, as sometimes the internal photos tell a different story.

Your agents were very friendly & most helpful, as they showed us one or two more properties than we had on our list.

We have had another look & are collating another list in readiness for a visit in June or July.

best regards, Adi & Kitija.

We could not find a property for Adi & Kitija this time but hopefully on their next viewing trip to France we will find them the right house for sale in Normandy.

Hi Sharon, 

Thanks you for arranging the property I recently visited, and also for sending information on other services that Cle France provides. 

My visit to the converted mill property in Burgundy was a pleasure. Your agent was punctual meeting me, and she was polite and helpful in answering questions. 

The restoration has been beautifully done, and I don't think there is anything that would need altering in order to live there comfortably. The location is excellent, being quiet yet not too far from villages and towns. 

As I am sure you will understand, purchasing a property is a major decision, and we have not yet decided our position with this particular property. If we need any further information, I will contact you. 

with very best wishes, Louise.

Cle France send hundreds of people to France on viewing trips every week and we wish everyone bought a house first time but it is not always that simple, unfortunatley, to make that final decision. Hopefully Louise will reflect favourably on the house she saw and make that final step to buying a dream house in the Burgundy region of France.
