Our service package

It is comprised of eight easy steps:

1. Initial consultation

We analyse your requirements at a preliminary meeting, either on the phone or in person. We need to know your family, your priorities and the type of property you are looking for, its condition, facilities, space, proximity to local amenities and schools, and investment value. We provide you a welcome book to know the French Riviera.

2. Orientation tour (if required)

If you are want to get to know the area before deciding, we will take you on a tour of those areas that we believe will match your requirements.

3. Property search and initial preview

Once you have decided on an area, we review all properties currently available by working with internet, local estate agents and our extensive private contacts.
We carefully comb the market, using our regional 'know-how' and network to the fullest, in order to find you a suitable home. We then draw up an initial list of suitable properties that match your needs, visit each property on your behalf, and then send you property reports.

4. Your viewings

After your short list, we schedule appointments, at your convenience. We collect you from temporary/hotel accommodation and drop-off as required. We provide itinerary and accompany you during property viewings.

5. Property selection and negotiation

Once you have chosen the right property, we will conduct all the negotiations and submit the application for rentals. We check the lease terms before signing.

6. Ensuring completion

Once an offer has been accepted, we liaise with the estate agent or private seller, lawyers, surveyors, mortgage lenders and others. We assist you in signing the lease and for the check-in (inventory of furnishings if needed). We arrange full translation of the lease document. WE arrange the handover of the keys.

7. Home contracts

We assist you in opening a French bank account and arrange connection of utilities: water, telephone, electricity, internet, satellite TV...

8. Follow up

We provide you a welcome book with essential information about living on the French Riviera (doctors, emergency, shops...) Summary

We can explain your first utility bills, so that are comprehensible. As well as other matters regarding life in France (health care, taxes...)

And finally, we are happy to suggest a range of professional advisors for any work that you may wish to carry out on your new property (plumbers, electricians, builders, decorators and interior designers…).
