No hesitations in recommending

Matt is very knowledgeable about the processes and requirements involved to satisfy the French banks. He kept us informed at all times, and was able to answer the questions that we had (and did so quickly). He has an incredibly user-friendly manner and we wouldn't have been able to do it with him.

Recommend unreservedly

Commercial, honest and transparent advice that proved invaluable in navigating the process around negotiating a euro-denominated mortgage from a French bank. Matt integrated seamlessly with the Lender and Notary and gave pro-active, impartial advice. If you're looking to purchase in France, look no further!

Superb, expert advice

I was recommended FPF by a friend who told me they had an excellent experience. They were absolutely right! Calm, honest, well informed, and friendly… Matt was brilliant. He helped guide and reassure me through quite a complex situation. I would also now highly recommend FPF, and Matt, to anyone. Robert

Excellent service

Matthieu Ragon was really excellent throughout our mortgage application process, successfully securing us a mortgage for our French apartment purchase. He helped us, as first time buyers in France, understand the process. He worked hard on our behalf to speed the process along as quickly as possible. Thank you Matt!

Could not have asked for more!

From start to finish, Matt was available, helpful, positive, knowledgeable and helpful. We could not have navigated this process without him and I am so glad to have found the company on the internet. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Mortgage for French purchase from Germany.

We were looking for a mortgage to help purchase a place in SW France. I had initially reached out to 5 different online brokers of which only 3 came back. Matt was the most engaged by a country mile and had an offer of a mortgage on the table for us in under a week with the added bonus of we could have more if we wanted.

Fees were clear up front and explained, no pressure and very friendly communications.

Excellent experience

Matthieu has been a brilliant advisor to us from start to finish. Very cheerful and incredibly responsive every step of the way, we felt we were in great hands right from the start. He helped to demystify the process and provided us with great advice at every step. A few curveballs were thrown along the way, but he always remained positive and came up with elegant solutions. He pushed the bank hard to get us a better rate, even though in the end we didn’t proceed with the mortgage. It was very clear to us that he has his client’s best interest at heart. We couldn’t have been happier with the service provided. We would strongly recommend Matt and team! Keep up the great work Matt!
