It is often said that buying a house is one of the more stressful things in life and potentially even more daunting in a different country, with a different language and with different procedures.

Ermine (brittanyproperties.com) provides a service which helps you identify and view properties of interest to you in the Cotes d'Armor region of Brittany.

And because we are not an Estate Agent; we are able to search for properties from multiple Agencies that meet your requirements (and eliminate those that don't). This ensures that your viewing time is used as effectively as possible.

And when we have found the property for you, our service continues by providing the hand-holding and experience to ensure that the negotiation and completion of the sale through the French system for buying property in Brittany is as stressfree for you as it could be; capitalising on our knowledge and experience, by utilising our English/French colleagues and introducing specialist contacts if appropriate. We are in France, speaking your language and we can be representing your views, whether you are here in France or have returned to the UK.

Our Service Fee only becomes payable if you decide to purchase a property that we have introduced to you. And our Service Fee is included in the price that we have quoted to you for the property.

We can assist with arranging property insurance and helping to ensure that utilities are connected ready for when you become the owner of your new property.

If required, we can introduce you to builders, plumbers and electricians and help with setting up a French bank account.

The property prices quoted throughout the website include our service fee and the Notaire's (Solicitor's) fee. We believe that you would prefer to be advised of the total price of ownership at the outset.

We had virtually given up hope of finding our ideal Brittany retreat, until we contacted you. Thank you for helping us to make our dreams come true.

You have made it so easy for us, I cannot believe how smoothly it has all gone.
A & J - Crewe

We knew that we wanted a house in Brittany, but were very nervous about the process and worried that our limited French would be an obstacle for us.
You removed the barriers and gave us excellent advice, enabling us to make our dream a reality.
And it was extremely reassuring that we were able to talk to you in the evenings.
The house you found us and the service you gave us truly exceeded our expectations.
THANK YOU!
