We believe good communication is fundamental to any successful project and this is our principle core value.  More project failures occur as a result of poor communication than for any other reason.

Quite simply we want to help you achieve your goals and dreams and provide a quality product that you will be able to enjoy for many years. There are many different circumstances and types of service which may be required, here is simply given a brief synopsis of what myself and my team can provide.  If there is other more specific, or different requirements then please contact us either by phone or email.  

Jason Park is a qualified mechanical engineer who has worked in the oil industry as a project engineer, responsible for construction project budgets & schedules.  He grew up around property developments with a father who was a joiner and builder.  He moved into property renovation in 2003, more recently having taken on a large project in France.  He has a real passion for property, and the vision to create something very special.  His attention to detail and commitment will result in a finish of the highest order.

Finding the right property is not easy and it can be very time consuming taking all your free time and, as a result, this puts undue stress and strain on you and your relationships.  I want to help take away this stress, find the right area and the right property for you, saving the leg work of trawling through a magnitude of possibilities. Using your specific criteria, and taking into account your current lifestyle, I can short list properties that would ideally suit your needs and desires for the future.

So you have decided that you want that dream property in France. It could be a holiday retreat to get as far away from your busy life as possible or maybe you have decided to take the plunge and move lock stock and barrel to France.

In either case it is easy under estimate the magnitude of the decision you have made. You know yourself from searching and buying property in the UK it is not always straight forward.  Just finding the right property can be difficult and what happens when you have found the right place and learn everything is not just going to be so straight forward. Now imagine the same scenario but the house is in France. You have the obvious language barriers coupled with different laws, regulations and procedures. It can be a mine field! Believe me we know first-hand!

We want to make finding and buying your property as stress free as possible. It might sound obvious, but do you actually know where you want to buy your home and what is it you want from your home its surroundings and location?

In France you will be expected to pay estate agents fees of 5-7% and more in some cases. We believe this is too much to pay especially when, from our own experience in buying and selling French property, you do not receive a service comparable to UK estate agent where you will only pay 1-1.5%.   We intend to create a website where people selling their properties can advertise them direct. We will aid people in the purchase of the property through a private sale using the necessary solicitors.

Property is one of the biggest decisions both financially and emotionally you will make in your lifetime. It is one of the most talked about subjects today. Whether you are looking to completely renovate your existing or new property or simply change the interior design we can help you.

There are ways of creating the property you desire without having to move house. You may not realize or have thought about that by reworking and redesigning or adding to your current home that you can achieve what you desired of a new property.
 
We will work with you from start to finish listening to and working with your initial ideas offering help and advice at every stage. We will establish the scope of work required a schedule of the works along with a start and end date.  We can manage your renovation project from initial sketches to detailed architectural design, through the building and renovation work and on to the finish and interior design of your home. It is also important to remember the exterior of your property the facilities you want, from the design and layout of the garden to external storage and swimming pools. We feel this is as important as the house itself and makes a house become a home.

You have found the perfect property but it may need some minor work or perhaps it needs complete renovation. Finding the right people in France is difficult as you will need someone who you can trust, can rely on, and who can communicate! It is amazing how often trades people in France do not turn up or leave the worksite with no notice which can be incredibly frustrating and inconvienient.

There are different rules and regulations that must be adhered to in France and it is not always obvious or easy to know what your limitations are. The methods and materials used for renovation work are often different to what is used in the UK.  Managing your renovation work from the UK has its obvious difficulties coupled with your own work and daily life can be very stressful as well.

What is your budget? Is your budget realistic to cope with the scope of work required? Do you have a contingency, have you allowed for the fact that there could be a lot of travel and accommodation expenses during the renovation?

Once the property is completed you may wish to rent the property out to create an income or simply for the property to pay for itself. To achieve the maximum return the property must be kept in pristine condition.
You need to know that the house is clean the grass is cut the hedges are trimmed and that all appliances are working correctly. Perhaps more importantly you need to know that there are no major problems that need that could be avoided or rectified for example from a storm etc.

The last thing you want to be doing when you go to your investment, holiday home or retreat is repairing any faults or cleaning and tidying your home and garden. You have gone there for a rest to get away from work.
We can offer a service to work with you renting out your property or simply caring for it when you are not in residence.

If any of this is of any interest to you, please do not hesitate to contact us through this site.  Take full advantage of the lessons we have learned and make your project effortless.   We are in the process of building a full detailed website for this venture which will provide more information.
