My Service To You

"We have recently bought our holiday cottage in the Limousin region of France and honestly believe we couldn't have worked our way through the process without the help of Elizabeth.  She supported us and provided sensible advice and guidance throughout and she even translated the entire compromis into English for us!  She arranged the transfer of utilities into our names, and has been there every step of the way, making it all stress-free."

"In February 2005 we went over to the Limousin area of France to look at property. We were looking specifically around Bellac and our point of contact was Elizabeth Nixon. Prior to our visit we spoke to Elizabeth several times on the phone, and always found her advice to be valuable. When showing us the properties in Bellac she never tried to oversell them, and we found her advice to be witty and informed. Elizabeth even took us to her favourite bar for coffee and to meet the locals. She held our hands with the notaire and was invaluable with her after-sales service, setting up our council taxes and water and electricity accounts - which she didn't have to do. Suffice it to say that we only made one trip to view property and we agreed a sale there and then. Three months later we took possession and are still very happy with our purchase. I would have no hesitation in recommending Elizabeth to any would-be buyers."

Mr.and Mrs. Martin (Warminster, UK) say . . .

After deciding to purchase a property in France, we researched different areas and found the Limousin region offered excellent value for money and unspoilt rural landscapes, whilst having good transport links to the UK.

Using the internet, the next step was to contact several agents within this area, Limousin Property Shop being one of them. We emailed our exact requirements and budget to several agents, and we had an email back the same day from Elizabeth Nixon from Limousin Property Shop with details and photographs of just one property, which she said ticked all our boxes and which she thought would be ‘perfect’ for us. Two other agents responded with more than one property.

We arranged our trip and booked our viewings. When we arrived, the first property we viewed was with Elizabeth Nixon. We were very excited to find that it was just what we wanted, but obviously we needed to compare, and Elizabeth encouraged us to do this, and to keep in contact and if there was any help she could give us, she would.

We did look at 5 other properties, some of which we dared not even go into, quite an eye-opener and none came close to the first, and some were far from what we had specified. We were so taken by the property Elizabeth showed us that we phoned her and arranged a second viewing. We really took our time and loads of photos and later that day, phoned Elizabeth with an offer. We struck a deal and are now proud owners of our first French property.

Elizabeth talked us through the whole process so we knew exactly what was going to happen and we felt reassured that she was always on the end of the phone or easily contactable via email, should we need her. She gave us lots of good advice, various contacts , which have been invaluable, and put up with our constant barrage of questions!! We would like to thank Elizabeth for her friendly welcome and utmost professionalism. We have bought several properties over the years in England and Spain and to date , Elizabeth Nixon has been the most keen and professional agent we have had the pleasure of dealing with.

Many thanks once again,

Before we moved to France, like most English people, we purchased books about Moving & Living in France and also Buying a property in France. Once we had read these, we seemed even more confused about the buying system but we did not let this deter us. We came out to France & viewed several properties with Elizabeth and it wasn't long before we found a property we fell in love with. We spoke to Elizabeth about the property and she put forward our offer which was accepted. Elizabeth made the whole process of buying straight forward and stress free.
On the day of signing for the house, Elizabeth came to the Notaires and translated the conversation, so we were aware of what was happening and being discussed. Once we were the proud owners of our new home, we had the direct debits for the utility bills to set up - yet again Elizabeth to the rescue ! She telephoned all the companies and sorted them all out. We are sure that without Elizabeth the whole experience of buying would not have been as easy.

We are now settled and living in France and have set up a small garden maintenance business and Elizabeth has even assisted us with this process. She has helped us with contacts and also has put us in touch with some clients who have needed our services.

We are very grateful to Elizabeth, for all her help / guidance and making the buying of a property in France a pleasurable one.

I would highly recommend Elizabeth Nixon & Limousin Property Shop to anyone looking for property in the Limousin region. She has helped my Sister & I build up a nice portfolio of properties, using her extensive local knowledge & contacts. She has been brilliant at finding just what we have been looking for & has also helped value & negotiate for properties we have found. Being completely fluent in French also helps those Brits with a limited French vocabulary!!
