Since 1997 we have quietly gone about our work of "installing" British and Irish farmers and their families on to viable farms (every one of our clients still farms the same farm they initially took on and one or two have even increased their farm sizes) and estates in France that correspond with our client’s criteria. As independent consultants, we are not agents, we are able to provide impartial objective advice at every stage of the "reprise" procedure (this can be property purchases, rents or a mix of the two).

We act in our clients’ interests and theirs alone. We do not take a commission (nor for that matter any kind of completion fee nor introduction premium from vendors, estate agents, banks and the like) we are remunerated by our clients and nobody else. Also unlike commission-remunerated clients we are not looking to "inflate" property prices, more the reverse.

The language barrier is not the only handicap to many of those interested in moving to France, trying to get one’s head round the French system of taking on a property is not by any means easy. The number of people who have got it wrong (having either moved on or given up) is testament to the fact that "installing" on a farm in France is not child’s play. It requires specialist assistance to avoid costly errors and to ease the burden, removing the stress, of such a move.
