Leggett Estate Agents at A Place in the Sun Live

Tuesday 17 February 2015

With over 12,000 properties listed for sale on their books at any one time, a visit to Leggetts at A Place in the Sun Show is a must for anyone looking to buy in France.

Over the past two decades, Leggett Immobilier has established itself as one of the best known estate agencies in France.

Long standing members of the FNAIM – the French professional real estate body - their success has been recognised by the fact that they have been voted the Best Real Estate Agency in France for the last two years running in the International Property Awards.

Joanna Leggett, Marketing Director at Leggetts, who will be on their stand in the French Village, says they now have around 250 agents working in all the most popular regions in France.

Every member of our team is bilingual, based in their local community, and can provide any purchaser with the ideal helping hand when buying a property in France,” she says.

As a family-owned business, their reputation remains one of professionalism and friendly service. Leggetts place enormous importance on helping both buyers and vendors through every step of the process: “We even have our own in-house legal team who will follow your purchase every step of the way," says Joanna. "From checking that everything in the exchange contract (compromis de vente) is correctly filled in, to explaining the process, working with the French notaire and ensuring the whole procedure is accomplished in an efficient and seamless manner until you have the keys to your new home safely in your hand!”

But the service doesn't stop there, Leggett Immo agents are known for helping purchasers with assistance and advice from setting up utilities to finding good local artisans and how to go about local schooling.

Joanna says they currently have a very wide selection of properties on their books, “Literally everything from historic houses and vineyards to 'do-er uppers'; from homes with incomes to smaller 'lock and leave' holiday homes.

What we do offer in particular is a comprehensive range of homes and properties in the 150,000 – 350,000 euro range and we'll be exhibiting a good selection of these at the Show.”

For anyone considering purchasing in France, Joanna come and see a member of the Leggetts team at A Place in the Sun Live. Then, once you've decided on the area and type of home you want, you can ring their dedicated sales support team who will arrange a viewing schedule to suit you. They can even help you find suitable accommodation for your buying trip.

With more stringent regulations covering property transactions in France each year, you need to know you are working with a professional estate agency whether you are buying or selling.

There's a reason that industry experts have voted Leggett Immo as the Best Estate Agency in France for two consecutive years - come see them at the show and you'll find out why!

Joanna Leggett will be at the French Village, Manchester, where she will be presenting a seminar on 'Where to Live in France'. She will also be available for personal consultation.
