Hello Kit, I do this exactly this sort of thing. You can contact me if you wish either via the PM button. However, it depends on where you are thinking of buying - do you have any ideas yet? France is such a huge country! If you're thinking of buying anywhere in the triangle formed by Perigueux, Angouleme and Limoges, it would be relatively easy for me to help. Anywhere further afield and you would really be better looking for someone in the locality so that they can attend meetings with you. Many things can be done by phone/email/post but in the case of viewing and negotiating about houses or dealing with notaires, where last minute questions can crop up, you really need someone on the spot. You are also likely to need some help when you first arrive, to sort out utility providers, find out where things are how they work etc. Again you would be better with someone familiar with your chosen area. I know other people who do similar work in different areas of France so may be able to help you find someone. I would suggest perhaps looking on the internet - I'm sure you have already :-) - and thinking about suitable regions. Common things to consider are the landscape, the weather, propertly prices and whether it's an area known to be popular with English speakers. Good luck anyway and do get in touch if you need any further advice, Heather Edited by moderators to remove website address.
