We have owned a home in Normandy, France since 2018. It began as a second home whilst we lived in England. In 2021 our family moved to France permanently.
When living in the UK one thing we would have really appreciated would have been someone that could keep an eye on our property. Our neighbours were great but there comes a point where you don't want to take advantage of someones kindness. So now we are in a position to offer this service to other second home owners.
Having spent 20 years running a decorating business in the UK we have used our experience to renovate our home in France and properties in the UK. Now we would like to offer a wide variety of services as well as a reliable contact in France for second home owners.

Property visits

Leaving your second home unattended can be worrying at times. I can offer one off visits or schedule regular visits to your home to ensure that it is safe, secure and there are no signs of pests. After a visit i will inform you of my findings.

Property Maintenance

Small jobs can accumulate and you don't always have the time to keep on top of it all. Having spent the last year renovating my own property and having run a successful decorating business in England for 20 years, I am able to undertake most projects and would be happy to quote for these.

Gardening services

An overgrown garden is the first sign that a property is empty. Simply cutting the grass can make such a difference. I can arrange one-off visits or offer a plan with routine visits to maintain your home and grounds.

Key holder

There is always a time when access to the property is required perhaps for meter readings or for an artisan to carry out work in your absence. Prearranged visits to open the house for others and to oversee work carried out and keeping you informed can be arranged.

Post forwarding service

There are times when post can build up or you are expecting an important letter and need someone to access the post box for you. Regular visits can be made to your home to empty your post box and forward any letters of importance on to your primary address.

Cleaning service

Arriving to a house which has been closed up for a number of months can be a nightmare and the last thing that you want to do at the start of your holiday and after a long journey is to clean. So allow me to prepare your house for your arrival and take the stress out of what you will find.
