Hi, I'm Gillian Borrill
An experienced, independent French Property finder
Having lived and worked in France myself as an Estate Agent, I understand both the appeal and the practical challenges of buying property abroad. I created My French Property Match to help English-speaking buyers find suitable properties efficiently, avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions.
Independent & Buyer-focused
Unlike estate agents, I work exclusively for buyers — representing your interests throughout the search process.
I provide independent guidance and a personalised property search service designed to save time, reduce pressure and make the process more manageable. By understanding what matters most to you, I help narrow the search, identify suitable opportunities and connect you with trusted local estate agents best suited to your project. Whether you are searching for a holiday home, planning a permanent move or dreaming of a quieter lifestyle in France, my aim is to make the journey feel clearer, more manageable and more enjoyable from the start.

Simplifying your French property search.
Searching for property in France can quickly become overwhelming, with listings spread across multiple websites, agencies and regions.
I help narrow the search by identifying realistic opportunities that match your priorities, budget and long-term plans.
Finding the right French regions.
France offers huge variety — from rural villages and vineyards to coastlines, market towns and ski resorts. Knowing where to begin is often the hardest part.
By understanding how you want to live, I can help identify areas that genuinely fit your lifestyle, pace and future plans.
Understanding the French buying process.
Buying property in France differs from the UK, and many buyers feel unsure about the process, paperwork and next steps.
I help make the journey clearer and less daunting by guiding you through each stage and introducing trusted local professionals where needed.
Bringing your property search together.
Keeping track of different agents, listings and conversations can quickly become time-consuming and frustrating.
I help bring everything together into a more organised, focused and manageable property search.
Buying confidently in France.
Buying property abroad often involves unfamiliar paperwork, timelines and local systems that can feel difficult to navigate alone.
I help keep the process organised and moving forward by introducing trusted local professionals and helping you understand what happens at each stage.
