Clé France

BACK ON THE MARKET and REDUCED in price to sell quickly.

Situated in the countryside in the area of Martigny we have this impressive and large French House with outbuildings.

We have had 2 clients start the buying process with this property but both sadly could not organise the borrowing in time. It is such a good property with outbuildings and over an acre of land in a glorious Normandy countryside setting, a real bargain and you could make an offer...

GROUND FLOOR: Living room with open fireplace 32.35m2, kitchen 9.15m2, bathroom 2.90m2, WC 1.30m2, 1 bedroom on the ground floor of 9.65m2, Utility room 13.75m2.

FIRST FLOOR: 3 bedrooms (8.54m2, 15.30m2 and 18.70m2), 1 office 8.15m2, bathroom 2.10m2.

Basement.

OUTSIDE: Outbuildings and land of over an Acre.

Taxe Fonciere is 450 euros a year.

All our prices are quoted as FAI (agency fees included) unless otherwise stated and 'notaire' fees are around 7% (on average) but feel free to ask us for an exact amount on any particular French property for sale you are interested in.

Indeed please feel free to use the 'MAKE AN ENQUIRY' tab above to ask us any questions you have about buying a property in France. Our UK based enquiry office and staff will guide you through the entire buying process step by step from your first contact right up to taking ownership and beyond, all free of charge.

Hi Sharon,

Firstly thank you genuinely and warmly for all of your and David's help in finding our new home in Manche, Normandy.  

As you know, we have been looking seriously for our dream home on a reduced budget for some three years. Through Cle France we were able to see as many properties as possible, with appointments between agents very efficiently coordinated by yourselves, ensuring that we were able to make the best use of the limited time we had in France. It has been an incredible adventure! 

Secondly I would like to express my enormous thanks to your agents on the ground in Lower Normandy whose commitment and dedication in ensuring that the process was as easy for us as possible, combined with their warmth and enthusiasm, will not be forgotten.  

Indeed if there were a Cle France "Agent of the Year" we would nominate your agent.  

On another level I have totally loved testing my French throughout the process and being able to use it at a more advanced level than is the case when one is simply on holiday with family. In purchasing a property in France I will be able to achieve my objective of using French daily, as I did when I lived in France before. Who knows, maybe instead of trying to find work teaching French in England I may instead actually get to use my EFL training and teach English in France again.

We would like to stay on your mailing list for hints and tips for living in France and in the meantime thank you again very much indeed for all of your help and that of your many Normandy agents we have consulted over the past three years

With kind regards and all the best for the future.

Lynn Whitmore.

Question: We have recently made an offer on a property in France. It is with a private seller. We have agreed with the seller that we will source the Notaire. Are you able to recommend an English speaking Notaire please. thanks, Frank.

Answer: Hi Frank, it is usually the vendor who nominates the notaire, and it is usually the same notaire they bought through which actually makes sense because he/she will have all the documents relating to the property on archive, 

If you want guidance on your purchase I would go for a bi-lingual solicitor to represent your interest.

You could try Matthew Cameron who can be contact via the Cle France website - Legal Services Contact.

Not as difficult as some people we met had said it could be, so thank you for your help.

And as several of our clients say "Follow your heart and make the move" 

These past few months I have had to constantly think about mon mémoire et la soutenance. Now that I have finished my degree there’s one question that everyone asks me:

“Alors, qu’est-ce que vous allez faire maintenant ?”

(So, what are you going to do now?)

La vie étudiante (student life) gets you into a rhythm :

Assister aux cours, étudier, faire les devoirs, écrire les rapports, attendre les résultats

Go to classes, study, do homework, write reports, wait for the results

Things can change when dealing with un système d’éducation différent. In France there’s a constant wave of CM et TD and trying to get un vingt.

Regardless of where you are, time in a classroom is time spent learning new things and la vie étudiante is a mix of stress and excitement.

La vie d’un jeune diplômé (the life of a recent graduate) drastically changes things.

Everything shifts to a new goal: Trouver un boulot - Find a job!

I have to mettre à jour mon CV (update your CV) and write many lettres de motivation (cover letters) – not forgetting la formule de politesse.

Sometimes l’emploi idéal (the perfect job) requires a move. Alors, in between updating mon profile LinkedIn (my LinkedIn profile) and asking mes professeurs (my professors) for advice, I also have to think about le coût d’un déménagement (the cost of moving).

Most of all it means thinking about what I want to do and being sure I can do it en français (in French)!

Voici un vocabulaire des jeune diplômés :

Mettre à jour son CV – Update your CV

Actualiser son CV – Update your CV

La lettre de motivation – Cover letter

Demande d’emploi – Job application

Offre d’emploi – Job ad, job opportunity

La carrière – Career

L’emploi – Job, employment

Le travail – Work, job, task

Travailler – To work

Bosser* – To Work

Le boulot* – Job, work

Le job* – Job, work

Gagner sa vie – To make/earn a living

Le salaire – Salary

Le salaire minimum – Minimum wage

Le SMIC – Minimum wage

*Informal.
