Why use Charles Russell?

No language barriers
We speak fluent French and English. We will report in English on the documents for you so that you know exactly what you are signing up to and the costs involved.

Making your purchase as straightforward as possible
The French property and tax market can seem to be a complicated web - everybody is connected to everybody
else and many have fingers in more than one pie.

We will explain the French and English law to you in a seamless way and in a way that makes sense. At
Charles Russell we can hold your hand from the beginning of the process to the end: from the moment you have
found your property and made your offer until completion and the hand over of the keys.

Fixed fee package
By using our fixed fee package you can call us as many times as you want and ask as many or as few questions as you like. We offer you total peace of mind. Click here for more fee information.

Independent advice
Since we have no vested interest in your ultimate decision to purchase a particular property we are able to give you independent advice concerning the purchase. Although we
are happy to work with your other professional advisors, estate agents and the like, our principal concern is you
and we will act in your best interests alone.

Tax advice and estate planning
We are not just able to advise on the property aspects of the purchase. We can also give you advice on UK tax and estate planning now and for future generations, coordinating with professionals in France and other jurisdictions as required. For more information please click here.

We are experienced in dealing with the impact of the UK-France Double Tax Treaties and have strong links with
leading Notaires, avocats and other professionals in France.
