Wherever you're looking to buy in France we can help. We arrange via our
broker French mortgages for customers from all over the world, including the
UK, Ireland, US, Canada, Australia, Russia, Japan, Dubai, South Africa... we
also help those already living in France.

 

We provide a professional and cost effective service, listening to your
needs & help you define your criteria as to what you need your mortgage to
do. We then source the most appropriate mortgage from our extensive network of
Private, National and Local banks.

 

From April 2013 a lot of mortgage brokers dealing with non-resident
mortgages are likely to disappear as new regulations come into force and will
mean that banks cannot remunerate them unless they are ORIAS registered (and
thus suitably qualified). Our broker already has this registration in place.

New team members

Our team has recently been enhanced by the
addition of Richard Morford and John Starr, who will be active in the Dordogne
area.

After years of dreaming, Richard
Morford along with his wife Nikki and their two dogs, finally made the move to
start a new life in France and relocated to live near Piegut-Pluviers in the
north of the Dordogne, close to the borders with the Charente and the Haute
Vienne. Having run his own business in the UK providing photography and
marketing services to estate agents, it was a natural step for Richard to
become registered as an 'agent commercial' in France and he now works with the
Allez-Francais team covering the beautiful Perigord Vert. Centred around the town of Nontron, it is a region
of unspoiled scenery split by fast moving streams, rolling hills and great
rocky plateaus. Whilst many property buyers come to this region to enjoy the
peace and tranquility, it also includes a number of bustling market towns
 such as Riberac, Brantome, Thiviers, Montemboeuf, La Rochefoucauld,
Villebois-Lavalette and Rochechouart.



John Starr and his partner Harriet bought their first
house in the Excideuil, Dordogne in 2002. He loves the countryside, markets,
towns and villages and finds the French people in the Perigord Vert both
receptive and welcoming. They moved here permanently in 2006 and have bought
and sold other properties in this area for their gite business. John will be covering the popular market towns
such as Excideuil, Jumilhac, St Yrieix, Pompadour, Objat, Hautefort. This opens
up parts of the Perigord Vert, Perigord Poupre, Western Corrèze and a little of
the Haute Vienne. Together with his personal experience and knowledge
of buying and selling property here in France, John is really looking forward
to helping others find their ideal home in this sort after area of rural France
through Allez-Français.
