Our Testimonials

"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."

"Professional and very responsive - overall great service."

"I was completely impressed by the service offered by Ellie. I got the impression that Ellie really knew what's going on from beginning to end. And when she was on annual leave all of her colleagues jumped in to offer a superb service as well. 10/10. Couldn't be happier. Worth every penny. Will be recommending IPF! Thank you!"

"It has been a dream of mine for a long while to obtain my own apartment in Paris. After being told countless times this is not possible as a UK citizen, I reached out to IPF. I had the pleasure working with Ellie Butler who is an incredible and meticulous person. She was able to successfully find a mortgage which met my needs. She is professional, diligent, reassuring and worked incredibly hard to overcome obstacles that came our way. I was supported every step of the way- she was always available, even during her non-standard working hours. I couldn’t thank her enough and the overall support and professionalism experienced from IPF was outstanding. I have already recommended Ellie to several people who also have an interest in purchasing a property abroad. I think the package they offer is worth it! If you have been contemplating working with IPF my advice is to just do it!"

"I really recommend International Private Finance when buying a house in France. Our adviser guided us through the whole process of buying a property with huge understanding and knowledge. The project was not always easy, but she calmly encouraged and dealt with all the problems that arose along the way. She was incredibly organized, but also showed huge empathy when we were struggling with the process. She was always quick to get in contact and tackle issues. Her advice and help were absolutely invaluable and we could not have managed it on our own without having a nervous breakdown! It is a very life changing and stressful journey to go on and we had huge faith in our adviser at all times, which she more than lived up to. She also dealt with the notaire and agents with a very efficient manner and they were also impressed with her professionalism. We are now in the house, very excited about living in France and hugely grateful for all the assistance."

"We had already been turned down by another broker who suggested we would not be successful in getting a French mortgage. Louis went through various options and explained that there was a 50/50 chance of success. He was willing to help us and explored various options in detail, ultimately resulting in us obtaining the finance we required. He was meticulous and precise and clearly went to great lengths to facilitate a successful outcome. All in all, a very impressive effort by Louis & his contacts. We are very grateful and would strongly recommend his services."

"Ellie was absolutely wonderful and so helpful throughout the process. Buying in France is surprisingly burdensome and as a UK buyer you're used to a lot less red tape and questions and all sorts of things that the bank ask of you. Without Ellie/IPF I think I would have either failed to get the mortgage I wanted or just given up as it would have been too complex to navigate without Ellie/IPF guiding me through the process step by step. 10/10 from me and I would go through them again should I buy a second house in France."

"Louis @IPF assisted us in obtaining a French mortgage for an oversees investment property. He was knowledgeable and diligent throughout the process offering guidance through what can be a complex and time consuming process. With Louis' help, we got to a quick mortgage offer and efficient completion a number of weeks later."
