French Property market avoids ?le Crunch? (Charlie Fraser)
For anyone living and working in the UK, there is only one thing on their minds, who is going to be the next victim of the ?credit crunch?? We have seen the collapse or takeover of Northern Rock, Lehman Brothers, HBOS and Bradford & Bingley. Everyday we turn on the news to hear stories of rising energy & food prices and falling property prices. There is a general sense of doom and gloom.
A community picnic (Languedoc Provence office)

Residents in our area of the Vendée are used to the holiday makers arriving during the summer months and filling the available accommodation, this year gite owners and hoteliers have almost filled their booking sheets for early November and February 2009 to the extent that coastal accommodation for these periods is now thin on the ground.
Completion time (Charente office)
We had two completions yesterday, where two of our clients got the keys to their dream properties in France, and I must say it is one of the best parts of being an estate agent.

Avoid the financial crisis (Limousin South office)
With all the uncertainty surrounding our banks, the keepers of our savings and the world financial markets generally, we are seeing strong flows of money out of the financial system searching for alternative forms of investment.
Renovation? No thank you! (Tarn-et-Garonne office)
Up until recently renovations have definitely not been what clients looking to buy in France have wanted but the trend seems to be shifting. Most clients specify that they want a property that is structurally sound with a good roof and the usual answer to, ?do you mind doing some work?? is, ?we don?t mind putting in a new kitchen and bathrooms, but don?t want to do anything structural?. However it?s not as simple as that. Let me explain.
The changing seasons (Limousin South office)
In rural France and particularly in Limousin life is still very much lived by the seasons and the changing seasons are something to be celebrated. Many of my French friends, neighbours and colleagues tell me that autumn is their favourite time of year; the days are still warm and the changing colours of the trees and the changing face of the countryside are just breathtaking.
Amazing service... (Sent to the London office)
We can?t believe that almost a year has passed since we bought our house in France. We should have written sooner but we have been too busy enjoying our new life here!

Anyway, we wanted to thank you for the amazing service that your company provi
