About us A Home in France is run by Philip and Danielle Seabrook. They formed the company as a result of their own purchase of a farmhouse in the Loire Valley - "We were both French speaking and legally aware in France but we knew how much we did not understand, so we informed ourselves. We then realised that many English speaking purchasers were buying in the dark, so we set up AHF to help them." As AHF became known increasing numbers of French owners asked them to sell their houses, and the result was the formation of the French company which is licensed as an estate agency. Danielle heads the legal assistance service; she is fully bilingual and a UK qualified barrister with a career in international commerce, including marine and aviation insurance, the risk management of an aircraft manufacturer and now more than ten years of experience in French conveyancing. Philip is a UK chartered accountant who has worked in industry for over 20 years. As Divisional Finance Director of a UK manufacturing group he was responsible for the finances of French subsidiaries. He has a working knowledge of French taxes and succession rules. Having bought and sold in France themselves (including off plans) they understand the needs of the non-French buyer, and having renovated old property.
