PROPERTY SEARCH continued

Up until 2006 the property market in and around Cognac was extremely buoyant with many of the best properties being sold before they hit the open market. Since then the market has slowed allowing purchasers to negotiate discounts on the asking price in many cases. By having a retained property expert on the spot you will be able to save both time and money as well as ensuring that you don't miss out on any suitable properties.

1	We match all suitable properties to your specified criteria. There are over 500 estate agents in depts 16 & 17, most of whom don't have websites. We guarantee to visit a suitable cross section of agents to ensure as wide a search as possible.
2	Updates by email including digital photos and independent comments. We then liaise by phone to compile a suitable shortlist.
3	We then arrange a bespoke programme, including airport pick up, accomodation (if required) and accompanied viewings.
4	We can refer you to a hand picked list of UK based bilingual solicitors, English speaking Notaries, Building Surveyors, Builders and Foreign Exchange brokers. Cognac Property are totally independent of any agents and work solely for you the buyer.
