Welcome to the website of MCM Dordogne Property !

We're Dordogne estate agents in Ribérac, specialising in Dordogne property for sale, particularly Dordogne houses for sale in Ribérac and the surrounding area, which extends over the border into the nearby Charente.  Dordogne houses for sale, as well as Charente houses for sale, in the Ribérac area, come in all sizes, from châteaux, through manoirs and farms, to villas and small cottages.  Although we keep an eye on Dordogne property and Charente property generally, our Ribérac base means that our estate agency specialises in property for sale across to Charente's Aubeterre in the west, the Dordogne's Verteillac and Mareuil in the north, Mensignac and Périgueux in the east, and Mussidan and Bergerac to the south.  Look at our section headed "About the Region" to find out more about the different areas.

This page explains the essence of what we're about.  Browse at your leisure and see what we can offer.  We think we're offering something a bit different, and hope you'll agree.  We strongly believe that the Dordogne, and the neighbouring area of the southern Charente, are one of the best parts of France to live in or in which to have a holiday home, so don't be surprised if we're passionate about what we're doing!

Dordogne and Charente properties for sale are our speciality.  Give us your feedback so that we can help you more!

Price reductions!

Houses for sale in the Dordogne and Charente regions of France have not been immune from the general decline in the property market - which has affected France generally, although possibly not to the extent of the UK.  Have a look for example at our little hideaway in a riverside village, now a snip at 59,000 euros, the "Provençal villa" with its self-contained one-bedroom gite for 294,000 euros, or the wonderfully historic Double house, going back to medieval times, for 399,000 euros.

With July, we're into the holiday season...

With the beginning of July the whole of France is on the move - and to judge from the sound of English voices in the market place, quite a lot of the UK is too.  The slow and faltering recovery in the property market is continuing gently, and we can see that the number of visitors to the site is returning, little by little, to the levels of last year.  Phew!  But there's still a lot of good property for sale, so now could be the moment for you to buy that dream home and taste the real France.

Why not buy in sterling?

We've noticed how the exchange rate is a major influence on the Dordogne property market.  The volatility of exchange rates means that buyers and sellers are faced with unprecedented risks. 

Nervousness can be overcome, however, by arranging a purchase in sterling.  This will only arise where the seller is repatriating funds into sterling in any event, but this may often be the case.  Euro payments will be needed for the notarial fees, agent's commission and any capital gains tax liability.  But there is no reason why the balance cannot be paid in sterling.  Contact us for further details.

New opportunities to buy your Dordogne house - New Instructions

We've a number of attractive places that have come onto the books recently.  A holiday house with shared pool is a snip at €115,500.  Also good value, to our mind, is a unique modern house near Verteillac for €241,500.  Or try something more spacious, a quirky house with river frontage near Bourdeilles.  Or a timbered cottage in the Double forest, with a couple of gites, at €378,000.  A modern house in an idyllic location can be yours for €260,000, or an immaculately converted barn for €225,750.  And finally, a house that was withdrawn from the market a year ago and has now come back on at a vastly reduced price - it's the town house that attracted a lot of attention because of its location in the centre of Ribérac but with the feel of the country.

Something for everyone - just turn to the properties for sale.
