PROPERTY SEARCH SERVICE IN THE MIDI-PYRENEES

With our comprehensive property search service Midi-Pyrenees Property Services takes care of the whole process from starting the search to finding the right property, assisting you to negotiate the right price, complete the purchase formalities and finally helping you to move in.

WHY WE CAN HELP YOU

Purchasing property in France, unless you are familiar with the system, can be fraught with problems particularly if your French language skills are a little sketchy.
Today's misunderstandings are tomorrow's expensive repercussions. It is important to have someone bi-lingual with knowledge of the system that you can trust to act in your interests, and your interests alone. Someone who is truly independent and who has no imposed restrictions as to where a property is sourced and has no vested interest in the property you are buying.

QUESTIONS you should ask yourself when searching for your French property

How many time consuming visits to France to find the right property will you need to make?
How much does it cost you for each trip to France?
How much time do you spend on the internet trying to understand often very basic property details?
How many unsuitable properties do estate agents waste your valuable time with?
Is language a problem? Does shaky French mean you can only contact English speaking agents, or are you sure you understand what the French agents have said to you?
Are you restricted to estate agents and missing out on properties for sale privately or by notaires?
Have you got someone on your side who listens carefully to your needs and lifestyle criteria and is working solely in your interests?
Having chosen your property can you deal with the French purchase system without a little help?

HOW DOES IT WORK

After your initial contact with us we will ask you to fill in a property search questionnaire. This will ask for details about the type of property you are looking for, preferred location, budget, timescale for purchase etc.
Once we have received this we will carry out, free of charge a feasibility study on your project and advise you as to the likelihood of success within the parameters you have set. At this stage you have no commitment to us.
You can then decide whether you wish to go ahead with the search and if you wish to change any of your wish list.

When you advise us you wish to commission the search we will contact you by telephone, or if you are in France arrange to meet up with you. We do this because we feel there is no substitute for personal contact to understand in detail your ideal property and how your lifestyle requirements may affect your longer term objectives. We will need you to give us some of your time so we can ask some fairly in depth questions to ensure we have a proper understanding of what you really want now and for the future.
At this stage you will be asked to sign our property search contract and pay the initial commissioning fee. READ MORE ABOUT OUR PROPERTY FINDING FEES

We will use our time and dedication to:

Search estate agents notaires, other property professionals and private sellers.

Send you (e-mail, fax or post - your choice) those property details and photos as soon as possible

When you have chosen the properties of specific interest to you we will visit them personally, take photos of all aspects and report back giving you an honest unbiased opinion of the properties, their conditions and suitability. At this stage you may if you wish ask us to do a detailed property report.

We will now on your instruction:

Arrange viewings and accompany you to those viewings
Help you negotiate the best purchase price
Arrange for the drawing up of the compromis de vente, and subsequently the acte de vente and accompany you to the notaire for signature (or indeed act as your proxy should you wish)
Help you organise connection of utilities etc. to ready your house for occupation.
After purchase we will assist you as required and our other property services will be available to you at any time.

CONFIDENTIALITY

At all times information you give us will remain confidential and never disclosed to a third party without your prior instruction or consent. We understand some clients wish to protect their privacy and we will respect that wish

THE TRUE COST

The PROPERTY FINDING FEES heading explains the fees we charge for our services. We honestly believe however that the true cost is much lower than the fee charged after taking in to account the savings made in unnecessary trips with their allied expenses and the purchase price reduction obtained in the negotiation process. In fact in very many cases the total saving is substantially more than the property finding fee paid
