Selling a French property in Aquitaine through ORPI - No 1 in France.

Often in France it is perceived that time slows down and things "just take a little longer" - this is true of the way of life in general and indeed is one of the reasons that many British people move to France in the first place.

1200 offices in France

It does not have to be this way if you want to sell your property however. With 1200 offices throughout France marketing your property you will appeal to the widest possible home market if you choose us.

Radio & TV

ORPI has marketing ability that no other agents can match with Television, Radio and Newspaper campaigns.

Portfolio of web sites in English & French language

We have three targeted websites www.orpi.com which is the main site but with a complete english translation; www.orpi-dordogne.com which covers 15 local offices and again has a full english translation and last but not least of course www.property-in-aquitaine.com which is an english language site dealing with our offices in Lalinde, Beaumont and Eymet which cover the southern Dordogne and Lot et Garonne. This site has been designed and fully optimized for all British search engines (MSN, Google, Yahoo etc.) to make sure we regularly appear near or at the top of the listings ensuring that your property gets to its target audience quickly, reliably and with impact.

Mandat exclusif ou non?

In France it is the buyer who pays our fees and as such our services to you the vendor are free. It is also often said that most properties are "mandat sans exclusivite" (multi listed) as there is little or no advantage to you the vendor in choosing a "mandat exclusif" (sole agency). This is simply not correct - the average agency locally has hundreds of properties for sale - far too many to advertise regularly in newspapers or to have as a permanent window feature in their office. If you choose a sole agency (mandat exclusif) we can guarantee you will stand out from the crowd.

Bi-lingual/ multilingual staff at your disposal

In all three offices we have bi-lingual staff to help you decide on the best marketing and price for your property. We will take details and prepare particulars of your property including photos and enter the property onto all three websites. In this way we can make sure that all discussions between French and British buyers and sellers are carried out correctly. All prospective purchasers will be accompanied to your property on viewings and we would ask for a key if possible so that no possibilities are missed. If they are interested then we will help both parties arrive at a mutually agreeable price and timescale. We will arrange for the "expertise" to be carried out - this an inspection for lead, asbestos and termites which is the responsibility of the vendor to pay for. Once the results are back and the seven day cooling off period is over we will arrange for all the documents to be sent to the Notaire so that matters can progress. It is easier for all parties if you can have to hand a copy of your original purchase contract, a copy of the plan cadastral, copies of any building permissions obtained and a note of the amounts of Taxe d'Habitation and Taxe Fonciere - we would like these at the time of placing your property on the market if possible. We can also of course help you find your new home in France or Great Britain by recommending other ORPI branches in France, estate agents in Britain or if you are looking in North West London our colleagues at www.gibsonhoney.co.uk may be able to help. The Gibson Honey Partnership is based in an area of some affluence and many of their clients are looking for second homes or indeed to move permanently abroad and as such are a valuable link for providing potential purchasers.

Research has shown that most potential UK purchasers of property in France carry out hours of research on the internet and it is for that reason that this site is dedicated to get to them first and with most clarity.
