Fast, efficient and effective.

I got in touch with French Private Finance after not-so-great experience with local French mortgage borkers. They managed to secure a competitive mortgage deal quite quickly. The process was stress-free and I was always clear on process, status and next steps. I am very pleased with the service and would solicit them again in the future.

Excellent service from FPF

I am the very definition of a difficult customer with non-standard circumstances so FPF did a fantastic job of securing a French mortgage for us under testing conditions! Their relationship with the bank who provided the mortgage enabled them to assist in helping the bank understand what my businesses are all about and that got us over the line.

The service throughout the whole process was excellent, including being picked up in Geneva and chauffeured to Courchevel and back to sign the relevant documents, so I would highly recommend them.

Perhaps the only thing that could have been improved upon was advice around securing a UK based Notaire but overall, very impressed and thankful for a great job, well done.

Thanks to Konrad, Romeo and the team.

Hi Neil, thank you for the kind words. We will look into getting in touch with UK notaires to secure signatures from home. Thanks for the feedback once again.

Long process ... great service !

The whole process took longer than expected and was painful but quite frankly this was more to do with French banking bureaucracy than FPF. Matthieu tried to minimse the pain of the process and at the end of the day delievered a very attractive mortgage package with better terms than originally expected ! Would certainly recommend for any expat trying to secure a bank loan in France.

Excellent and professional service

We have been very pleased with the service received from French Private Finance to help us finance a property purchase in the French Alps. Konrad was excellent, he found us a great rate and managed the transaction very professionally with the bank as well as helping us with the technicalities of making such a transaction in French. We would have no hesitation in recommending French Private Finance.

Mathieu at French private finance was absolutely outstanding. Knowledgeable, professional and well connected with main stream French lenders.
He was efficient and presented quite a complex financial situation to a French bank where he took care of everything, securing us a fantastic rate to assist us with the purchase of a house in the south of France.
Don't waste time using anyone else.
