ÉDITO
W
elcome to a jam-packed
edition of the Leggett
Magazine. We have so
many wonderful stories
to bring you that it has been diffi cult to
fi t them all in. However, we just about
managed, and hopefully they will help
brighten up your winter evenings and
put you in the mood for spring.
Certainly, the selection of our very
favourite French recipes will set your
taste-buds tingling. I have spent the
last few weeks trying them out in my
own kitchen and they are truly special,
a great way to keep family and friends
happy!
Similarly, there is no better guide
to France than Janine Marsh - her
inspirational writing brings an area
to life as she explores beyond the
usual tourist trail. In this issue she has
been exploring the glorious Limousin
countryside, as well as sampling
the very best that Bordeaux and the
surrounding villages have to off er. We
do enjoy an exceptional quality of
life here, and Janine has a knack for
highlighting the little details that make
all the diff erence.
As usual, we also bring you all of
the latest news on the French property
market. Sales were at record levels
throughout 2022, although with interest
rates on the rise we are sure to see a
slight dampening in demand. The good
news is that more property is, at last,
coming onto the market, and not being
snapped up by locals before it can even
be advertised. This gives buyers greater
choice and will make your house search
easier, particularly if you are coming
from abroad.
We are lucky enough to have
appeared on TV in both France and
the UK recently. Trevor has been
interviewed by most of the major TV
stations here, and our sponsorship of
the primetime BFM Story has turboBonjourcharged
our profi le domestically. It is
one of the most watched political &
current aff airs programmes in France.
In the UK, we were a central part of the
hit show "Help! We bought a village".
It appeared on Channel 4 and ran for
20 episodes. Filming was great fun
and the TV crew provided endless
entertainment for the locals.
On top of the TV shows we have been
running regular webinars, alongside
experts on French taxation, visas,
mortgages and currency exchange. They
are proving extremely popular as they
cover all aspects of moving to/living in
France. You can rest assured that the
information given out is accurate and
to be trusted. You will fi nd the date,
and content, of our next webinar by
scanning the QR code on p45.
Please don't forget that the
properties advertised in the back of
the magazine are just a small selection
of the thousands we have available on
our website. From bargain renovation
projects that can be bought for a few
thousand euros, up to some of the
fi nest châteaux, ski chalets and country
estates in France - you really will fi nd
something for every budget. Whether
you are looking to buy or sell, why not
get in touch with our award winning
sales support team now?
À très bientôt !
