With twenty years experience of installing windows and conservatories in the UK, we gained a good all round general knowledge of property maintenance and repair, in addition to working on french campsites maintaining and repairing mobile homes.

We are based near Quimperlé in South Finistère and basically we are happy to travel any reasonable distance.

The types of services we are offering are:

• Property Surveillance
• Grass & Hedge Cutting
• Key Holding/House Cleaning/Access for meter readings, etc
• Property Maintainance & Upkeep

If there any service you require that we haven’t listed, please enquire.

Please call or email for our competive prices.

We hope you may find some of the above services offered of interest to you and look forward to receiving any enquiries.

Have you been told, don’t worry:

• it’s stood for a hundred years so it’ll stand for another hundred?
• that’s normal for this part of France?
• it’s modern so it has a guarantee/is built to up to date specifications?

It may be true – but there is just as much chance that it isn’t!

• lack of proper maintenance can quickly cause serious defects in old buildings
• it may be normal to be bad practice in some parts
• not all modern houses are guaranteed and there aren’t building inspectors as in the UK

John Marshall Surveys provides pre-purchase condition reports in English, either verbally on the spot or in writing, on all types and ages of residential & agricultural property, reporting not only on significant defects but also on how it is built differently and how it needs to be maintained differently to what you may know. Comments will also be made on any improvements or alterations that you may envisage. The business is French registered (SIRET 32443468228) and fully insured by the insurance company AXA.

Areas served are Ariege (09), Aude (11), Pyrenees Orientales (66)
plus adjacent parts of Haute Garonne (31), Herault (34) and Tarn (81)
