Buying a house in France?
Let us help you
Buying a home in France is exciting — but also full of unknowns.
If you’re not familiar with French bureaucracy, neighborhoods, or renovation norms, you might feel overwhelmed. That’s why we created this set of services specifically for international buyers. Whether you’re still planning your purchase or about to sign, we’re here to make the process easier, clearer, and less stressful.
Not sure what the area is really like?
We’ll find out for you.
Send us the address of the property, and we’ll prepare a short report about the local area. We’ll tell you what kind of village or neighborhood it is, nearby services (shops, trains, schools), internet speed availability, safety, and anything else you should know.
You’ll get a summary in English with photos and links when possible — all from a local perspective.
Need help understanding
legal or technical French documents?
We provide professional, clear translations of key documents like sales contracts, diagnostics, notaire letters, or emails from the seller. All translations come with a short summary in plain English, highlighting what matters. We can also put you in touch with a certified translator if you need it.
France loves paperwork — we’ll help you survive it.
Not sure how to get a tax number? How to request permission from the city hall? Need help opening a French bank account or preparing for the notaire appointment? We walk you through the most common admin steps, explain what to expect, and help you get everything in order.
You can ask us questions, and we’ll guide you by email or in a call.
Need a plumber, roofer, or builder you can trust?
We’ll help you find them.
Tell us what kind of work you need, and we’ll search for vetted local professionals near the property. We’ll provide names, contact details, and any reviews we can find — with our own opinion if we know the area.
This service saves you hours of research and gives you a head start in planning your project.
Not sure if your renovation quotes are reasonable?
Let us check.
Send us the quotes you’ve received from builders or artisans, and we’ll review them carefully. We’ll help you understand what’s included (and what’s missing), and tell you whether the prices are in line with current market rates in France.
You’ll get honest, independent feedback — so you can move forward with confidence, negotiate better, or avoid being overcharged.
(includes review of up to 3 quotes and a written summary in English)
Coming to visit or sign the final sale?
We’ll help you get organized.
We’ll help you plan your trip: the best way to reach the property (train, rental car, etc.), where to stay nearby, and what to expect on arrival. You tell us your dates and preferences, and we’ll send you a personalized logistics guide in English.
