Mrs ST of Swindon – October 2019
David Barney is an old-fashioned type of solicitor, and I mean that in the best possible sense! He leaves no stone unturned, and he will fight tooth-and-nail to make sure that you are protected in every aspect of your house purchase. Many French properties come with unusual or irregular land rights; to make sure you know what you are getting you need someone with a sound understanding of French house-buying and this is where David comes in. If there is anything about which he is in any way uncertain you can rest assured that he will check it out meticulously for you. Your estate agent will argue that you don’t need a solicitor because “the notaire will do all that” but in my view using David’s services was money very well spent and it gave me precisely the level of security that I was looking for in my first foray into French house ownership.
