We constantly update our site with properties removed when we sell them, or are informed by the owners they have been sold; new properties added as we visit and take them on; price changes as we are notified of them.
It is therefore difficult to explain when clients are convinced that they have seen a property on our site that we know we removed weeks or months previously, that it is down to their browser settings and whether or not the web site is refreshed automatically each time it is opened. It does mean they are a returning visitor to our site which is great for us, but of course, they miss out on all the new property that has come on, or changes that have been made, since their first visit. So for those visitors who are not technophones we suggest you hit the Refresh button ( two green arrows, on your toolbar) each time you visit, just to be sure.

For those who are new to our site, I apologise for the fact it is currently under development (and of course to those who visit us often),although it is nearly finished now.
We are changing our house style and logo - but more importantly, we have altered the way we work. Up until now we have built the Papillon properties Hand Holding and After Care fee into the property price, so that we present to you, the client, a clear indication of what a property is going to cost you to own. Thus saving you from having to calculate exactly what all those additional charges there seem to be to house buying in France, to the house price you see advertised.
We have now made the Papillon service, and therefore the fee, optional. On all our property details you will see this clearly marked at the bottom in the price band. We do however continue to show the price of the properties to include the Notaire's fee and Government Taxes (the equivalent of stamp duty in the UK).
