Buying in France
Your French home, ready before you arrive
The lovely "after" photo is the easy bit to show. What really counts is everything in between: plans, builders, quotes, deliveries. Here's exactly what I take care of, step by step.

Before you buy
- I view the house with you, or on a video call if you're abroad
- What the house could become, room by room
- Your priorities, and a realistic budget range
Your part: send me the listing and your wish list.
The design
- Measured plans and layouts
- Mood boards, colours and materials
- Planning permission and official drawings, with partner architects
Your part: feedback and sign-off by email or video call.
Build
Builders and quotes
- Trusted local tradespeople: masons, electricians, plumbers
- Quotes compared and explained in plain English
- A clear schedule before any work starts
Your part: choose the quotes and sign them.
Decoration follow-up
- Regular visits for colours, finishes and details
- Photos and updates on WhatsApp
- Quick decisions, and details caught early
Quoted individually, depending on the size of the works.
Finish
Budget and buying
- A costed list for every room
- Orders confirmed and deliveries signed for

No commission: you pay suppliers directly.
Ready when you are

Good to know
I work alongside your estate agent, notaire, architect and builders. I don't replace any of them, and I don't give legal or tax advice.
If you live in the UK, you can spend up to 90 days in any 180-day period in France (and the rest of the Schengen area) without a visa. Since April 2026, your entries and exits are recorded by the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES). For longer stays you'll need a long-stay visa. Between your visits, I keep things moving.
