If you are house buying in the Creuse ( Department 23 ) area of Limousin or having renovation work on a property that you have bought, and you need help with translation, then Jennie who runs the ' Le P'tit Loup' Bar - Restaurant in the village might be able to help you. Jennie speaks fluent french and as well as written french she has fair bit of experience in dealing with notaires etc.
Contacting a builder, plumber, electrician, plasterer, masons, carpenter and other trades can be a problem at the best of times, but if the tradesmen only speak french it becomes even harder.
To help you find tradespersons I am starting to add a list of people that in my opinion you can trust. Some will be english speaking who have come and settled in France and some will be local french tradesperson who speak english as well. See below for details.
There are many estate agents selling houses in the area and below is just a few of them. We are not involved with any of the agents selling and buying house listed below and do not receive any reward or fees for listing them. It is a list of names for you to get a flavor of the area and what properties are available.
That is not all of the estate agents in the area but hopefully it will give you a selection of houses and properties that are on sale. If you would like more details regarding other estate agents then if you email us at bilko23161@yahoo.co.uk we will try our best to help.
Please note that whilst Jennie can help you with translation, we must remind you that as with buying a house back home, the Buyer Is Solely Responsible For All Legalities, Planning Permission, and Searches, Etc.
