Clé France

When we decided that we wanted to purchase a holiday home in France, the process seemed daunting at first. The biggest hurdle seemed to be actually selecting properties to view from the thousands that are available on line. Cle France were extremely helpful in identifying suitable properties and then liaising with their agents on the ground to arrange the viewings. 

When we saw a property we liked the Cle France agent in France was very helpful indeed but it was great having Cle France head office keep an eye on the process.

Their referral to foreign exchange services, and other services like insurance, was also of great help.

Happy New Year!

Sunil.

A short but sweet note that we received back yesterday from a client who has only started to make enquiries about buying a house in France. Feels good to know that by making sure we reply promptly to clients questions the word gets around that you can reply on Cle France. In an industry where getting an answer is not always that easy, it is best to ask the right people in the first place.

Hi Sharon,

It's been a day of taking it all in and now only one more day before breaking-up for Christmas Hols.

The whole new venture started by a click of a button with a plentiful supply of broadband connection and was soon to be aware of Cle France having trawled through the various websites. Not having had any prior knowledge of Cle France I clicked on a property that appeared to suit.

Cle France arranged with us a suitable date to view a property and upon our return proceeded to forward the offer made by ourselves. With the offer accepted, Cle France were able to send all the relevant information needed to enable completion of sale.

As Cle France are in partnership with 'Allianz Insurance' and 'FC Exchange', things such as the legally required house insurance were so easy to obtain and I can see why they came with such good recommendation. With completion having taken place I can now reflect on the past twelve weeks and realise the amount of effort that Cle France put into our dream of owning a place in France, I don't think we would have ever got this far without all the help given from them.

If anyone out there is contemplating a move to France I would suggest that your first move is to the Cle France website where it all started from.

Finally a big thank you to Cle France. I hope you and all the team have a lovely Christmas.

John.

Well John, what can we say? we are so pleased the process of buying a house in France was an enjoyable one, that is Cle France's aim every time, so all there is left to do is wish you many happy years of French Property ownership and a very Merry Christmas from all at Cle France.

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for all your help. It’s been a surprisingly straight forward process.

Just need to sort out french bank accounts etc. which your agent is kindly helping us with.

Cle France and along with your local agent made the whole process of looking for and buying a house in Lower Normandy not only enjoyable but also straight forward.

Advice, help and trust were always evident and a given. We now own a most beautiful property in the hills, the previous owners were charming and generous (we had a most enjoyable lunch with them). The whole experience was faultless.

Prof Dominic and Anna Shepherd.

Many Congratulations to our clients as they look forward to many happy years of Normandy Property Ownership.

We will guide YOU through the French Property Buying Process!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

As many of you may know, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has recently been released to both great anticipation and great acclaim.

In fact, in the US data suggests that The Force Awakens might be the highest US grossing film… EVER.

That’s not to say that Star Wars films are limited to the US, either. Star Wars, also known by its French name La Guerre des étoiles is a well-loved franchise in France as well. Le Réveil de la force, as it is known, has broken records across the hexagone as it has across the United States.

In fact, 600,000 Star Wars fans in Paris saw the film during its opening weekend–beating out the previous record opener Bienvenu chez les Chtis in 2008.

And, now, more good news for Star Wars fans: According to recent data by Forbes, Star Wars fans are more likely to have larger salaries than those who don’t like this famous saga–but it depends on which character you identify most with.

According to the Le Monde blog:

“Qui sont les fans (nombreux) de Star Wars ? Des hommes âgés de 18 à 44 ans, qui aiment regarder des programmes scientifiques, d’histoire ou des films d’horreur à la télé, et travaillent dans les technologie de l’information ou le droit. C’est ce que conclut une étude de la compagnie américaine Quantcast reprise par le magazine Forbes. Mais, en regardant de plus près, un fan de Luke Skywalker semble avoir peu en commun avec un fan de Dark Vador, de la princesse Leïa ou de Han Solo.”

According to this study, fans of Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader were compared based on salary and job titles.

“Logiquement, c’est Luke Skywalker qui arrive en tête, avec trois fois plus de vues que tous les autres personnages, peut-être parce qu’il n’apparaissait bizarrement pas dans la bande-annonce”, note un des chercheurs en charge de l’étude. En tout cas, ce sont ses fans qui ont les salaires les plus élevés (de 100 à 150 000 dollars par an). Ils travaillent surtout dans les affaires.

Han Solo – l’ancien contrebandier devenu leader de la cause rebelle – attire la sympathie des plus jeunes, qui sont aussi les moins fortunés (ils gagnent entre 0 et 50 000 dollars par an) et travaillent dans la vente et la construction.

Les femmes sont surtout fans de la princesse Leia. Quant aux admirateurs de Dark Vador et du côté obscur de la force, ils sont nombreux à travailler dans le domaine de la justice, sont en général plus vieux et gagnent en général plus que les fans des autres personnages.”

Alors, qui est votre personnage préféré? Que pensez-vous de cette étude?
