“Exceptional service from Scott (and Sue) - we couldn’t rate it more highly. We’d already seen the diagnostics for the French property we’re buying, but wanted peace of mind and a second opinion. Scott spotted a few things and suggested a couple of points we would never have thought of ourselves, which left us far better equipped to move forward with our purchase. Excellent value for the peace of mind it gives you, and thoroughly recommended.”

Thank you to our recent clients for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

What am I actually looking at during a pre-purchase consultation? 🇫🇷

It’s not simply about walking around looking for things that are wrong.

I want to understand what you want to do with the property and then look at what that could realistically involve.

What needs doing? What should take priority? What could wait? Are there costs you might not have considered? And, importantly, do your plans work with your budget?

Sometimes something that looks worrying isn't necessarily a major problem. Other times, it's the less obvious things that can have the biggest impact on a renovation budget.

The aim is to help you get a clearer picture of what you're potentially taking on before you buy.

Independent, practical renovation advice based on 33+ years of experience.

A little tip if you're viewing an old property in France… 🇫🇷

Don't just look at the house,have a good look around it.

Walk the boundary. Look where the rainwater goes. Check the ground levels against the house. Notice any retaining walls, neighbouring buildings and how easy it would actually be to get materials or machinery onto the property.

It only takes a few minutes, but the outside can sometimes tell you just as much as the inside.
And take plenty of photos! You'll be amazed how much you forget once you've viewed a few properties.

Save this one for your next property viewing.

The viewing starts before I even walk through the door 🏡

When I arrive at a property, I’m already looking at the roofline, rainwater, walls, signs of movement, previous alterations and even how easy the property will be to access for future works.

None of these things automatically mean there’s a problem, old French properties are rarely perfectly straight!

But understanding what you’re looking at can help you ask the right questions and get a much clearer idea of what you may be taking on.

That’s exactly what a Renov’Assist pre-purchase consultation is about: practical, independent advice before you commit.

Old doesn't necessarily mean bad. 🏡

One of the joys of looking at older French property is that very little is perfectly straight, level or uniform.

And that's not automatically a problem.
The important thing is being able to distinguish between the quirks that come with an old building and the things that genuinely need investigating, repairing or budgeting for.

Because sometimes that wonky old house has been standing quite happily for a few hundred years. 😉

Planning to view a property in France before the end of the year? 🇫🇷🏡

Renov’Assist only takes on a limited number of pre-purchase consultations each month, and we now have limited availability remaining for 2026.

If you’re travelling to France to view a property and would like independent, practical advice before you commit, please get in touch as early as possible.

A consultation can help you understand:

• what work is likely to be needed
• what should take priority
• what can potentially wait
• realistic renovation costs
• whether your plans and budget work for the property

We can’t always accommodate last-minute appointments, particularly if your viewing trip is only for a few days.

Planning a viewing? Send us an email with the property location and your viewing dates to check availability. [email protected]

Dreaming of a house in a French village?

Being able to walk to the boulangerie, café or local market is a big part of the appeal.

But when you're viewing an older village property, there can be different things to consider compared with a house in the countryside.

Access for building work, parking and deliveries, shared or adjoining walls, drainage, outdoor space and what you're actually allowed to change externally, can all affect your renovation plans.

None of these necessarily make a village house a bad buy.

They’re simply things worth thinking about before you start imagining what you'll do with the kitchen. 😉

The purchase price is only the starting point.

A property might be within budget....... but is the finished property?

When looking at a renovation project, it’s worth considering the purchase price and what it will realistically cost to get the property where you want it to be.

Not everything needs doing immediately, but knowing what you're likely to face over the next few years can make a huge difference when deciding whether a property is right for you.

The real budget isn't just what you pay for the house.

Sometimes you walk into a property and immediately see the potential.

You notice the view, the space, the old beams and character, and before you know it, you're mentally moving walls and planning bathrooms.

The less exciting bit is working out whether those plans are actually feasible and what they're realistically likely to cost.

That's what I help buyers understand through Renov'Assist by SR - before they commit to a French property and discover their plans and their budget don't quite match.
