We are totally satisfied with all the assistance we have been given. J et PJanuary 2008__________________________________________________________________________________________________ Agence Argeunon have provided a highly professional and efficient service that is very personalised to meet our needs. They are informative and provide excellent contacts in terms of banking, insurance, builders and all kinds of practical advice. They are friendly, patient and always helpful. They eased us through what is a detailed process, involving lots of paperwork, in a thorough way.Andy et Teresa, january 2008__________________________________________________________________________________________________________"The whole process of selling our house through Agence Arguenon took about six months, which I gather is pretty quick by current French standards. The Agency staff not only did all that an English estate agent would do, but also provided a lot of general advice and support with all the various administrative aspects of moving. In our case for example they dealt direct with the farmers who used some of our land, they sorted out closing bills from the various utilities and secured rebates of taxes, insurance premiums etc. All in all a very good service delivered by friendly bilingual staff".Paul et Vivienne L. January 2008__________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We cannot praise Agence Arguenon highly enough. The staff are fantastic, friendly, patient and honest and have a great deal of professional experience.Especially Megan and Olivier.  Who gave over and abovewhat one would expect.Emails were answered straight away and phone calls always returned when promised, making the process a stress free and enjoyable experience. This is quite something when buying a house.Our French is not good so we really appreciated having a service where all the staff spoke excellent English. This was our first time buying in France and every step was explained when needed and support was always there. We really felt looked after and not just when buying but afterwards too.We would definitely use their services again.Thank you and we wish all of you the very best.A bientot ! Chris and Nicola YirrellOctober 2007_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We had decided to buy a property in France, however we were very vague as to what we actually wanted. Our initial port of call was to Agence Arguenon to do some research and this proved the best move we could have made. There was a warm, friendly greeting as we entered the agency where we met Megan. Her patience and experience guided us to making a great decision to buy a property in Dinan itself. Not only were we guided through the process of purchasing a property in France, but we were offered support and advice on anything we needed to know. We had every confidence in making this purchase because the support was excellent before, during and after the completion of buying our property.A professional and friendly agency whom we would recommend to everyone.We thank Megan and all the team at Agence Arguenon.Mike et Vanessa Saunders ------------------------------------------------------------------------From the moment we walked through the door and saw the propertieswithin our budget, to the moment we signed on the dotted line at theNotaires, nothing was too much trouble.For instance:1. Chauffeur driven from property to property.2. Speedy and efficient answers eg, location of the well and the cost ofinstalling a mains water supply.3. Arrangements of utility supplies and insurance.4.

Thank youMark Poulter-------------------------------------------------------------------The service we received from Rozenn and the staff at Agence Arguenon was of the highest calibre. It made buying a house in France absolutely stress free. The whole procedure from accompanied viewings, placing an offer, arranging a mortgage through to signing contracts was dealt with by the agency. At all stages we were kept informed of progress and all paper work we received was translated over the phone by Rozenn prior to us signing anything. The after care service was excellent with the agency setting us up accounts with the electricity company, the water company and even getting our oil delivered. Nothing was any trouble and even a year later they are still happy to help with any queries we have. I would recommend anyone who is seriously looking to buy a property in Brittany to look no further than Agence Arguenon.I have only the highest respect for their proffessionalism and dedicated service.Thank you once againMarie and Alan Gard-------------------------------------------------------------------"We bought a house through Agence Arguenon and found their service helpfuland friendly: nothing was too much trouble for them.

We are settling in well in the lovely house you found for us. We certainly appreciated your help and advice during the buying process and the fact that you listened to our requirements without any hard-sell tactics on your part.We are gradually adjusting to the Dinanais customs but it is reassuring to know what we can always call on you to give us a helping hand with any problem, should the need arise. For the moment though we are just enjoying being in this beautiful old town.With many thanks for your continuing support and our warmestwishes A the New Year.Your sincerely,Mary and Keith-------------------------------------------------------We first discovered Madame Rosannne Cooper, her family and her team, at Agence Arguenon in Dinan, on the internet in July 2004.My wife and I were looking for a premises in Brittany and in the latter part of July travelled to France in search of our ideal honne. We found that Agence Arguenon sought out the type of premises we were after and devoted their time to us whilst we were looking. We felt that we were not rushed or pressurised into any decisions we made, but their advice was helpful and constructive.Once we had decided to complete the purchase of the house we were led through the French house purchasing system with such ease that it no longer felt complicated.Whilst waiting to complete the purchase of the house, any enquires made by phone from the UK were dealt with immediately and receiving a swift reply was an added bonus.Since purchasing the house Agence Arguenon have belped me no end during my first year of transition into the French system, Banking and the domestic services of water, electric and telephone and even accompanied us to interviews to assist us with our meagre knowledge of the system and language.We cannot praise them enough for their assistance and the pleasant way in which we received their help.We would say that we have become friends of Agence Arguenon and not merely just clients and wish than all the best with their business.Yours SincerelyJohn and Lesley------------------------------------------------------------We confirm that we have been more than pleased with the services provided by the agency Arguenon.We were looking for a house big enough to accommodate the whole family for holidays and exposed exactly what we were looking for. We had been alreadylooking for this property for a good three years and could not find what we were looking for. We visited a couple of places in the first place when wefirst met the agency but the locations or the houses did not meet our expectations. However the agency did not let us down and carried on the researches once when we were back to Jersey.Some visits were organized and the agency kindly sent us one representative to meet us at the harbour for the day and fortunately, we found the propertythat matches our requirements. The agency has been very helpful and understood perfectly what we were looking for. This is a lovely family homenear Dinan (5mn), which we enjoy thoroughly with the rest of the family and we are always more than happy to recommend the agency for their good services.I.M.M. Billet-Masters et S.W. Masters--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We knew we wanted to buy a property in Brittany, we had done our research and chose the area and what our budget guidelines were. We were introduced to Agence Arguenon through an Internet company and therefore were a bit hesitant before the meeting. Leon introduces himself, listened to our list of requirements and then took us through the French house purchase process. He also suggested that we take a look at certain properties and gave us time to choose the ones we wanted a closer look at. We bought the first house that we viewed after looking at 16 properties in 2 days with 3 different agencies. Rozenn then took us step by step through the legalities and the house was ours. More importantly it is what both Leon and Rozenn have given to us following completion, from insurance to utility bills, advice on the local community and any tradesman required for that small job and last but not least peace of mind when we are not there.   We would recommend all of the team to anyone wishing to purchase a property in Brittany - there s no-one better.     Julian and Debbie---------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.agencearguenon.com/content/3/access.html We are based in Dinan, - 20mns from St Malo ferry port, links to Portsmouth, Poole, Weymouth and the Channel Islands. - 20mns from Dinard airport, links to Stansted et East Midlands. - 30 mns from St Brieuc airport linked to the Channel Islands and the south coast of England  -30 mns from Rennes airport linked to Southampton. - 2 hours from the ferry ports of Cherbourg and CaenTo find usWe re 16 place du champ Clos which is the market square (the market is every thursday).
