What our clients say about us

We've spent years helping our clients purchase their dream properties in France. Here are some examples of happy clients who can tell you how we ensured they could purchase abroad, stress-free.

Unwavering support and expertise, every step of the way

Unwavering support and expertise, every step of the way. IPF took the time to understand my international buying goals while providing very dedicated support to find the best mortgage for my needs. Their attention to detail was exceptional, in explaining various mortgage options and keeping my best interests in mind to ensure that I was making an informed decision. As buying abroad can be confusing, IPF was available to offer support about the steps involved and answered all of my questions. IPF's dedication made the purchase happen smoothly and their proactive approach ensured that no detail was overlooked.

I don't think we would have stuck it out without them.

IPF made this whole process significantly easier for us. I don't think we would have stuck it out without them. Natalie and her team were with us every step of the way, fast in replying and answering questions and super supportive even when we were having a bit of a meltdown about the process. Initially we were very skeptical about having to pay so much for what we essentially thought was going to be a simple “mortgage broker”, but they turned out to be worth every penny. They did so much more than broker the mortgage. They guided, advised, cautioned and just generally held our hand through the entire process. I couldn't recommend them enough and thank you so much for everything.

Cannot recommend IPF highly enough

Cannot recommend IPF highly enough, we had spoken to our French bank regarding a mortgage and very quickly came to understand the complexities involved with a UK > France mortgage application.Our estate agent thankfully suggested that we contact IPF. From the outset IPF made the whole process seamless and painless, they found the most suitable product, guided us through the application and dealt with all the arising questions that came from the French lender.Thank you to all the team at International Private Finance for helping us purchase our dream home in the Alps.

Always on hand to offer advice and reassurance

Natalie Knibbs and the team were simply amazing. They helped us through a complex process, making it as simple as possible. Always on hand to offer advice and reassurance yet setting realistic expectations. We could not have done it without them. Anyone considering a move abroad to France or Spain etc needs to reach out to IPF. Thank you to them for helping us realise our dream.

We would highly recommend the service

We would highly recommend the service provided by International Private Finance. After trying and failing to obtain a mortgage through another mortgage advisor, we reached out to IPF. Their communication throughout the process was fantastic and the whole team were always on hand to provide an update. We obtained a successful outcome for our mortgage in France and we owe this to the great work of the team at IPF.

We would highly recommend the fantastic team at IPF

We would highly recommend the fantastic team at IPF and anyone looking to obtain a French mortgage should look no further! After being turned away from other companies, we were losing hope about whether we could achieve our dream of owning a home in France, but we shouldn't have worried as IPF came to our rescue! The whole team was incredibly professional and always quick to respond whenever we had questions. They made the process clear to us from day one and they took away a lot of the stress and worries we had. We really couldn't have done it without them, and we are incredibly grateful for all their support throughout. Thank you very much to the whole team!
