relishing north dordogne

[Robhay]

Hi,
I am trying to move to the Hautefort area in perigord-vert
with my wife and family.
Time is slipping away and we need a long term let while our house is selling, are there any 3 bed properties,known to be
empty or even friendly letting agents that can be recommended,
Or maybe locals with advise.
We have found the letting process fairly hard to break into
even with a permanent job offer, and therefore relishing North
Dordogne not easy.

Cheers.rob

Hi,

We have just bought around Nontron. The agency we bought through was situated on the main street in Nontron (top end) called Orpi. There two chaps called Francis and Bjorn who ran the Sales. In our experience, both were very good, spoke good english and had a lot of local knowledge which was useful - in finding out more about the property such as clear titles, sellers personal situation ie how keen were they to sell etc. Their website is not brilliant though.
We also used agents in in Piegut who were very helpful and had lots of lovely properties. Their websitte is a bit better than Orpi's.
In my view, browsing websites is really not very useful unless you intend to folllow it up with a visit as soon as you see something you like. There are very nice properties that never make the websites of a lot of the local agents.
The websites do not describe the dumping ground at the end of the lane nor the fact that the toilet is accessed via the kitchen etc.
I have had a lot of fun looking through various websites dreaming about what I would like and it helped me get a realistic view of the prices etc (though the 'well' priced properties tend to get sold before they get to the web!)
Good Luck - we love the area.
