Home Hunts are luxury buying agents specialising in French property, impartial advisors, they work with HNW clients and celebrities, helping them to choose and purchase the right property. Tim Swannie, director says: “Our team collaborates with all of the best estate agents, notaires, developers and private sellers to provide the ultimate selection of properties in a desired area. Home Hunts work closely with our clients, offering unbiased advice and support throughout the entire buying process and beyond.” For those thinking of purchasing a holiday home, he advises starting with the question of where: “Location is usually right at the top of the list for most people, so you need to really research areas. Don’t just visit at the height of the busy season, do your research about what the area is like in wintertime, what local facilities, amenities, shops and restaurants are available throughout the year. And make sure flights are available also; airlines may only fly that route for the busy holiday period. Ask your agents for their advice, visit local restaurants, markets and shops, and ask around.”
