Testimonial for Heather Comber:

We thought it would be good to drop you a line expressing our appreciation for the support that Heather Comber has given us in buying our house In Cherveix-Cubas.

From the start she has been very approachable, friendly and helpful - she is very easy to get on with and responded very quickly to any queries we had and always followed up. She has been very helpful in guiding us through the process and finding support when we needed it (e.g. translator, emergency plumber) and acting as the go-between with the vendors.

All of this would encourage us to recommend Beaux Villages and Heather.

Best regards

Happy New Year

By Géraldine, 23 September 2019

Myself and my husband spent the earlier part of this year searching for a new home in France.

During this time we relied heavily on Beaux Villages as we found you the most efficient and professional agents operating in France. We were lucky to have Edite as our main contact and would like to say thanks for her services; she ensured she knew our particular requirements and put an exceptional amount of time and effort in to finding a suitable home for us.

Many thanks once again.

Geraldine

Very grateful!

Testimonial for Geraldine Millet and Emma Waddington.

Having sold up in the south of France we were prepared to bank our euros in France and wait out 2 years until Brexit was sorted.

And then we came to Montmorillon for 5 days relaxation and suddenly fell in love with the town. We decided to tentatively view a few properties just to get a feel of what was available and at what prices, but had no plans to buy at this time.

Beaux Villages was in fact the last agent we visited in the town (so 2 others had the opportunity to sell us the house we eventually bought, but hadn't taken the opportunity to show it to us).

Geraldine listened to what our requirements were and saw I was getting enthusiastic about one (outside the town) in the Beaux Villages window. Unfortunately, it was already under offer but she searched through her books and came up with a similar one that was in the town. We felt on first viewing it was perfect for us in so many ways. We are so grateful that Geraldine showed us the property. We are finding as each day passes more ways that this is the absolutely perfect house for us.

We did a second viewing 2 days later with Emma and just knew we had to make an offer (despite the Brexit uncertainty). Emma handled the offer negotiations for us and it was a tense period for us both, as we had a finite budget of euros available from the sale of our property. She did a superb job and concluded the negotiations well within our budget, and even took the time to call us on Easter Sunday to tell us the good news.

The period that follows the offer being accepted to completion is always difficult, but Emma was always available to smoothly facilitate the process to its' conclusion. Again, we are so grateful to have the ongoing support and even after we had moved in, Emma supported us in getting the utilities sorted.

You hear so many stories about the hit and miss experiences of working with estate agents in France, but we have had both an excellent experience when we sold, and an excellent experience when we bought again.

Many thanks to you both. Sorry Geraldine, but Emma ate all the cakes that we bought for you as a thank you.

Helen is a credit to your business.

Testimonial for Helen Dawson

I recently contacted Beaux Villages as I was looking to purchase a property in France. A lovely lady called Helen Dawson subsequently contacted me and arranged for me to view several properties. Even though we had no car and were staying in Rochechouart Helen arranged to pick us up and drove us to the properties in the Dordogne. Throughout the whole day Helen was extremely warm and friendly and made the whole day very enjoyable.

Helen is a credit to your business.

Thank you all

After years of search we discovered Beauxvillages who enabled us to find our home in less than 2 weeks . Thank to all people we met. From Gregory who let us know Beauxvillages, Vanessa who directed us to Geraldine who understood our needs and made a very good filtering in our researchs. And then to Carola who proposed us one house who matched our needs. This first visit was done with respect of sellers intimity. We had the joy to understand that this first visit would finally be our last because it was the good one. And also to Stéphanie who took care of the compromis and is impressive in its skill domains. And Kate who is in charge of the administrative part, and is the link between us, the notaire and the sellers. Thank you all.

Delighted!

It was a real pleasure to work with you. We know that we wouldn't be where we are without your support and your body of knowledge. We now have spent a couple of days and nights here at the mill-house and we really love the property.
Thanks again for your flawless guidance through the buying process and we too hope we will see you again soon. Best regards & enjoy a relaxing break!

Testimonial for Abel and Victoria

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team, Abel and Victoria, for the great work you have done.

Testimonial for Karen Cankalis:

I recently sold my house with you with Karen Cankalis as my contact. I want to comment on the standard of her service which was absolutely excellent. The house sold within a couple of days of going on the market, the photos she took were extremely professional which obviously worked. Throughout the whole procedure Karen was there for me during what would have been a very stressful time. I have personally thanked her but wanted to let you know my opinions too. Incidentally I also used SMART for my money transfer to the UK who were also very helpful and efficient.

I have already recommended your company to many of my friends of whom I am sure many will contact you.

Thank you once again and kind regards

Brenda Metcalfe

Testimonial for Anna Stewart

Many thanks to Anna for all her help with our purchase of our wonderful little house in the Dordogne. She is incredibly patient and kept us apprised all throughout the process (which grew arms and legs) from first viewings to finally receiving the keys. Anna's involvement didn't end there - she's also assisted with transfer of utilities etc which is so helpful. Cannot recommend enough!

Testimonial for Mike Sweetman and Helen Stothard:

I am about to finalise the paperwork on my new house here in France in the lovely village of Verteuil sur Charente.  I just want to put on record my gratitude to the Beaux Villages team in Verteuil, and in particular Mr Mike Sweetman, and his colleague Helen, I'm sorry I've forgotten her surname, who have been exemplary in guiding me through the process. I would like to class Mike now amongst my friends, as he was always available to answer my queries, and provide me with information regarding insurance, notaires, the Marie, setting up a bank account, the list goes on. I think we hit it off immediately as we are both ex fire officers, and there is always a bond between firefighters of any nationality. Therefore thank you to Mike and Helen, and if asked by anyone as to where to go to purchase a property here, I would say that you can't do better than Beaux Villages.

We would definitely recommend Beaux Villages

Testimonial for Lee Redican:

Lee was recommended to us from friends who have recently sold their house as we were dissatisfied with the previous agents. We are very pleased with the way in which our house was marketed and the speed at which Lee started arranging viewings. Lee kept us informed before and after viewings, which was very useful. We went through a negotiating period and Lee was very good providing guidance to ensure it resulted in an acceptable offer. Following on from this, Emma has been very supportive. It’s quite a stressful process to get all of the paperwork together but Emma has provided guidance and updates to this date. We would definitely recommend Beaux Villages.

Supportive, communicative and friendly!

Testimonial for Jacqui Reddin-Williams:

We would just like to say a high thank you to Jacqui Reddin from Beaux Village in Jonzac. Not only did she sell our house before it was even advertised, she held our hand throughout the process. Communicated well, was very supportive and felt like our friend throughout. We felt we could contact her at any time and she would always respond. We have no hesitation in recommending her services to our friends. Thank you.
