James is extremely helpful and professional. After weeks of trying to find the right advice regarding immediate cross boarder lifetime gifts and inheritance issues, James managed to help us move the situation forward in a 30min call, with immediate answers on all kinds of questions I shot at him. Sharing a lot of useful info and contact recommendations. Big thank you James

Despite our indecision about whether to relocate or not, Stephen Rankine was an absolute professional being patient, kind and understanding as well as clearly being an expert in his field. We had a number of interactions with him, all at no cost, so he could make sure we understood the implications and necessary actions as a result of any decisions we made. He would definitely be my first port of call in the future.

The financial advisor J was very much to the point despite my dispersed way of presenting him with multiple questions linked to a variety of subjects. I feel hé "reorganised" and prioritised a set of issues. I now feel able to take some décisions without feeling unsure about them. When you're totally disconnected from "Planet Finance," it helps a lot to get some clear & simple advice. Thank you sir. YS, Elsa

Had a consultation with Stuart Stojkvic on pension and felt the need to leave feedback on his professional approach and knowledge. The advice given was pretty much what I had thought I needed to be doing and was honest and integral. Would totally recommend you explore your options through this company should you need an outcome with no hidden agendas.

We had a very useful and informative consultation with Stephen.

We were looking for some advice on Capital Gains Tax liabilities on selling our French house. Nick at Blevins gave us some great advice and has really moved forward our plans to relocate back to the UK. Highly recommended.

Great advice and information about buying property in France and possible tax implications. Who should buy etc etc Thomas Marron (who I have spoken to a few times) always gives great advice in an easy to understand way. Definitely recommended.

I needed some advice on gifting money to my son who is resident in France. Situation is quite complex as UK IHT laws and French gift / succession taxes are pretty incompatible. Anyway, BF's advisor, Tom Sloane, called me and very politely answered all my questions. Very pleased with Tom and BF, and will use them again without hesitation. Great service without any sales pressure.

Relaxed, thorough, informative, didn't try to push Blevins Franks services. I came away comforted that my investments are being managed well.

We moved to Blevin Franks 18 months ago from another provider. We cannot fault the level of service and professionalism that we have received from our adviser, Mark Leaney. All information is clear and presented to the highest standards and the relationship we have built with Mark is one of trust and honesty. We feel completely assured that, in these uncertain times, that we are in safe and experienced hands. Equally important is the availability of contact and knowing that there is always a prompt response to a call or email is really appreciated.

James took the time to explain how he could help and suggested connecting with someone who could offer additional services in order to cater to my circumstances. Very pro and offered value up front. You can sense he cares about doing good work and advising you correctly.

We received excellent advise from Simon Eveleigh at the Aix-en-Provence office on inheritance/gifting tax regarding our property in France, as UK residents. Many complex issues were clarified in a friendly, competent and approachable manner.
Thank you & merci beaucoup!

Blevins Franks were recommended to me by a friend, a retired accountant, when I moved to France and needed financial advice. I have been very impressed by their excellent service where nothing is too much trouble. Mark Leaney’s diligence, expertise and availability has helped enormously and removed the stress of managing my financial affairs. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

We have been clients of BF for over 12 years and throughout this time we have always received excellent service . David Bowen and more recently Alfonso Sanz Lucia have given us prompt and sound advice on numerous issues we've had, Alfonso recently made a "house call" to discuss a query we had thus avoiding me having to make a trip to the Marbella office. Now that to me is great service! I wish that my bank were equally helpful.

Having been with Blevins Franks for over twenty years I am now returning to the UK for personal reasons. During this time I have received solid investment advice & growth in line with projections given to me.
Henry in Toulouse has always been accessible & courteous & I would have no hesitation in re-investing should the occasion arise.

Blevins Frank's responded very quickly with concise and practical advice. They have a deep understanding of Spanish tax and pension law.

Very knowledgeable background to my requirements of Taxation as UK ex pat in France.

Having used Siddalls and transferring to Blevins Franks since before coming to France over 20 years ago I can highly recommend them. They have given me excellent financial advice with a personal touch over the years. They were also excellent with providing me with inheritance advice concerning my investments following the death of my husband. David Hardy from the Bordeaux office has always been an excellent adviser for me and I would highly recommend them.

I have used this company for many years, and have found them very professional to work with, and very helpful. I use their Nerja office, and have dealt with many different people over they years, as inevitably staff change, but they have always been efficient in managing my investment and keeping me informed. I highly recommend them.

We have been clients of Blevins Franks for over fifteen years.
