We are looking for a new-build villa in Aude/Herault, but have been unnerved by a French consumer website which logs reviews of many of the development companies in France, including several which advertise regularly in Living France.  The words "robbers without scruples" in one review, and consistently low opinions of some of the best known companies have made us realise we must take advice.  We can't afford the time to supervise the build personally, so need to feel confident in the company we choose.  Can anyone share their experiences with us? Thanks Caroline
