Very reliable and personal financial advice.
We have lived in France since 2000 and have relied on David's financial advice for over 20 years. We are contacted whenever he feels we need to make changes and each year we have personal contact when he reviews the progress of our investments. We have no hesitation in recommending this company for advice on all your financial needs.

3 out of 10 for us.
Not one subject that was talked about was aimed at people living full time in France, The seminar seemed to have been created for people with assets in the UK and perhaps a holiday or non permanent home here in France. Non of this was relevant to us.

Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback on our recent seminar. We are sorry to hear you didn’t feel the seminar was relevant. The seminar was advertised and designed to help people who are now living permanently in France understand and, if it is appropriate, how best manage assets that remain in the UK. We appreciate this may not have come across clearly during the seminar and we apologise. To compensate we are happy to offer you a complimentary initial meeting to discuss your specific circumstances, you may contact us on 05 53 63 49 19. Thank you again for your comments, which are helpful for future events.
Kind regards, Rob Kay, Regional Director
Possible relocation to France…
It's early days in my relationship with Blevins Franks, but so far I feel very positive about the information and feedback from attending one of their seminars in Morzine and the professionalism of the presenters. All the information was well packaged and easy to understand, hence it gave me the confidence to take things to the next level in the process. I am looking forward to an initial review with Stuart to assess the next steps in a possible relocation to France and how this can be achieved personally and financially.
