72 French Property News August 2019 http://www.completefrance.com

W

hen buying a French
property, especially if
you’re not fluent in the
language, you may feel more
comfortable having a trusty
advisor by your side, to talk you
through the process and answer
any of your questions. This is
where handholding services come
in, but they can also be a great
resource after you’ve bought too.
As the saying goes, it’s easy when
you know how!

Buying or selling

You may just need help with the

transaction itself, perhaps

translation services, but there’s a

whole host of other things a

‘handholder’ can help you with.

Look for a company that can

offer people ‘on the ground’ with

extensive local knowledge. They

often tend to be Brits who’ve

bought in France, so they’ve

already been through the process
