French Home Buying and Surveying Service
Found your property?
Our French property surveys will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision: not just on condition but on feasibility of proposed conversions and alterations too, if needed. Unlike some companies, we don't just provide a brief 'overview' report based on a 'kicking the tyres' type of inspection – we provide an easily understood but in-depth appraisal of the property, based on a detailed technical examination typically taking 3-4 hours (but often longer).
French property Surveys:
- professional surveys in France to UK standards
- a totally independent service
- all work carried out by British Chartered Surveyors
- full UK based backup at an affordable price
- comprehensive Professional Indemnity insurance
Starting the search?
Surveyfrance is totally independent. We have no financial or other ties with any other businesses. We do however find some French Estate Agents far more sympathetic to our aims of helping our clients make properly informed decisions than others, so we decided to share this knowledge.
French Estate Agents:
- professional French-registered Estate Agencies
- bi-lingual staff
- deal direct and avoid hidden 'middle-men' charges
- survey-friendly Anglophile attitude
- direct web and email links
Recently published UK Government figures show that a startling 1 in 4 property purchasers in the UK face major unforeseen expenditure – as a direct result of not having commissioned a "pre-purchase" survey. This figure is almost certainly higher for French property, but it doesn't need to be!
With almost everything about French building radically different to how things are done in the UK, expert advice is the only sensible way to go if you want to avoid your dream turning into a property nightmare.
