We will view these properties and send digital photos and/or virtual visit film along with a detailed description to narrow down the selection. Such descriptions and pictures will be illustrative only and have no contractual value.
We will work with you to draw up a shortlist of suitable properties, and arrange for you to see them as soon as possible.

We will send you a detailed itinerary and if you require, assist with arranging travel and accommodation for your visit e.g. B&B, hotel, or gîte.
4. We will personally accompany you on each viewing and assist with any questions, enabling you to have a rapid response to any queries you might have. You will not be passed on to a third party, and in Quercus you will have an unbiased partner to help you save time and money!
PROPERTY BUYING PROCESS
5. Fluent in French we can assist you with the negotiation and making of an offer on the property you have chosen and all paperwork involved with the preliminary contract, the ‘compromis de vente'. We can introduce you to your own ‘notaire’ and, to simplify the bureaucratic complexities of the French legal system, interpret any questions you might have, be they on legal issues or otherwise.
6. We will communicate with you as frequently as necessary to update you on the progress of your purchase.
7. Where required, we can assist you regarding the financing of your property purchase by helping you make contact with banks and professional advisors regarding all aspects of financial planning and fiscal issues connected with your property purchase. We can also assist with translating any paperwork pertaining to it.

PROPERTY EVOLUTION PROCESS

We require that all artisans offer the ‘garantie décennale’ - 10 year guarantee - where appropriate. In addition, we can contact and meet with architects and insurance companies and provide estimates from them. We can help with connection of services - water, telephone, electricity and gas - and assist with any planning permission if necessary.
10. With first hand experience, we can assist with overseeing any building and renovation work.
