We were unable to go for residency during Brexit.Has anybody got experience of applying post Brexit?
We are 70 year old retirees with an income of £80k a year a house in France, assets in the in Uk of £2.5M.
Are there any companies who advise and help with the process?
Thoughts please?
You’re not the Pete Thomas who plays and teaches sax, are you?
In any event, it sounds like you’d meet the conditions for a visa (VLS-TS) and, after that, for Titre de Séjour. That’s renewable (at the moment) repeatedly.
Applying for a visa is straightforward as long as you’re methodical.
Citizenship is unlikely to be within reach, given the recent changes in the law, though who knows what might happen in the future?
If you ever find yourself single Pete, do give me a call.
I think it quite safe to say that with the anticipated tax to be had from you, France will welcome you as a resident with open arms 
I will send you a card of a financial lawyer who can make it happen…
@pete_thomas , you’ll find plenty of material on SF to guide you through the process, and much of the relevant part of the gouv website is in English.
Bon courage!
No but I do release music on streaming platforms as Those Stone People!
That would be useful cheers
It is a pretty straightforward process designed to be done by the applicant. Start with the visa wizard and take it from there

But the bit that is more complex and potentially needs professional advice is the change to French tax and also French succession laws. Once you arrive planning to be resident you will be taxed on your world wide income and have to declare all bank accounts, including digital.
Succession laws are also different so if you have a blended family look into this.
Also look into ISF, income sur la fortune, which may apply to you after 5 years here and us an extra tax.
