This review is from: Buying a Home in France (Paperback)
...if you're thinking about buying property in France. Hampshire is totally on target. I read his book before going through the buying process, and couldn't believe how perfectly his advice dovetailed with my actual experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars All his information was exactly correct!, September 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Buying a Home in France (Buying a Home Series) (Paperback)
We JUST (September '99) bought an apartment in Paris, using this book as a daily reference. It helped us immensely, giving us confidence in many procedures from looking for a place initially to the closing, including geat information on insurance and utilities. Definitely a great source!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book, June 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Buying a Home in France (Paperback)
This book has some good information for anyone considering purchasing a home in France. It's aimed more towards a U.K. citizen, versus a U.S. citizen, but I still found it helpful. Some of the info. applies only to purchases of 'flats' (apartments) and not houses, but he doesn't tell you that. I found out after asking for some of the documentation he mentions. I would recommend the book to anyone considering the purchase of a French property -- get it early so you do it right!
