People like you have been receiving helpful property advice from the Edison Ford Group, its directors and associates since the 1980's. Our business has been built primarily through personal recommendation, so we felt it was important to share with you some of the positive things clients say about us, our excellent service and expert property advice.
Ron Stubberfield, May 2005
"I have been an owner with PV, (the leaseback provider) at Pont Royal in Provence since 1999 and can say that the experience has been entirely favourable. The main attraction was the combination of a high quality, fully managed leisure property investment and the option for personal use.
Looking back over the time I have been involved with PV, I have always found them to be a very professional and reliable organisation and one that rates customer service very highly. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending PV to those who are interested in pursuing an involvement in this part of the leisure sector."
Richard Fisher, Bath, June 2005
"I have been dealing with John Moon and edison ford since 1997. I have always been interested in property investment, but never thought I had the capital, time or expertise to become involved. With John and edison ford's help I have been able to make a number of substantial property investments which have proven to be extremely lucrative. They continue to help me on a regular basis, their advice always being extremely helpful and pertinent. As a regular client of edison ford, I have been happy to recommend them to many of my friends and family, who are similarly enthusiastic. You always know that when you ring John or a member of his team they will have something of value to add to the equasion, so I can't praise them highly enough."
A.T and S.H, July 2005
A.T. and S.H. are two friends and Edison Ford clients who are perhaps typical of those purchasing a leaseback property. Both in their 30's, professional and successful, they were looking for a way of enhancing their existing company pension schemes, especially as early retirement was particularly appealing.
"We discussed with Edison Ford various ways of investing in property, as this was something we were both interested in, especially as we had lost faith in stock market type investments. When we learnt and understood leaseback, it made complete sense for us, as neither of us has the time to research, purchase and then let a property and then deal with all the issues such as insurance, voids and problem tenants.
Although we only decided to purchase a relatively short time ago, it seems we have already made a useful gain, especially as the Calarossa resort where we bought has won a prestigious landscaping award.
The main benefit for us however is being able to own a property, which we do not ever need to go to or worry about, knowing that one day, when it suits us, we can sell and take our profit"
Charles Hughes, Dorset, July 2005
"As vice president of a major Aerospace company, my time is limited and it is imperative therefore that I receive professional , pertinent and concise advice that I can rely on. Having entrusted Edison Ford with my affairs for many years now, I am happy to say they have met and exceeded all my expectations. I know that when I contact them, they will cut straight to the heart of my needs, giving me well rounded service that is excellent and meets my requirements. Most specifically, when I was involved in a particularly complex house move, they were able to smooth things over and achieve a solution which I thought would be extremely difficult to achieve.
Consequently, I am not only happy to use them on a regular basis, but also I have and will in the future, recommend them to my friends and colleagues."
Paul Wells, Upper Wellow, July 2005
"I have known John Moon (Edison Ford's M.D.) for over 20 years. During that time, I have been gradually building myself a property portfolio. Initially, I arranged all the finances and insurance myself, as to be honest I was quite untrusting of financial advisers, but as the portfolio grew, I found it increasingly difficult to achieve what I was looking to do. So around ten years ago I started using John and Edison Ford.
It was then I realised that, as in every area of life, there are exceptional people out there who provide proper advice in the client's interest and do what they say they will do. As well as saving me a huge amount of time and stress, Edison Ford has saved me thousand's in interest, fees and costs, by coming up with some fantastic deals which I would never have found on my own. In fact, my latest acquisition would have been completely impossible without their help, John going far beyond what you might expect from the common or garden financial organisation.
I regularly recommend them to all my friends and family and will continue to do so"
Andy Wardlaw, Cardiff, July 2005
"Hi Phil.
Was going to drop you a mail to say thanks. Really feel I got some excellent, no nonsense and understandable advice yesterday and as a result I now have direction for the first time. Feels good. I really appreciate the time you spent. I will without doubt be doing more business with you in the future when finances allow and look forward to it too.
Thanks again.
Best regards
Andy"

"The main attraction for me of being an owner at Pont Royal was the combination of a french property investment in a commercially managed leisure complex and the high standard of facilities offered at that site. Other appealing features were the very desirable but unspoilt location in southern Provence, the different ownership options and the backing of the PV organisation. Whether your looking for a commercial venture, or simply want to take advantage of the facilites, there is a lot on offer"
N.J, 2006
"This has been our fourth year at Cap Esterel and we enjoy the facilities, ambience and security of the village very much. It is in a perfect location and it offers something for everyone! In addition we have seen our investment grow by a very good margin. For anybody considering a safe and versatile investment, i thoroughly recommend PV - C'est parfait!"
L.B and W.B, 2006
"As we both work, our incomes allow us to save money on a regular basis. By putting aside 300 pounds per month we were able to purchase a buy to let with PV. With practically no changes to our lifestyle, we have become owners of a long term leaseback investment that completely fulfills our expectations. We are now more comfortable about our future knowing we have a guaranteed income for the next 18 years."
R.C, 2006
"I chose to invest with PV because it is a large European company with 38 years of experience - they have been around for a while - and get better results every year. That gives me a guarantee. Also, i diversify my portfolio with a Euro-based investment that gives a solid yield and has a good capital growth potential. Unlike with other property deals, with this one i'm not exposed to rental fluctuations and, plus, i have no maintenance charges or hassles."
