Over the summer we have met and remet ( I don’t think that is a word!) lots of lovely people that have stayed in our gites and some of them became unwittingly (!) fully immersed into the French way of life!.. And now really understand how things happen here!
For the first time in the last 4 or 5 years I really noticed that there is a thirst for all things French and one couple even bought a house whilst they were here, despite, having no desire for a French property when they left Portsmouth!
We also have several gites let throughout the autumn/winter as couples search for their ideal French home! It is so exciting and I am envious of their journeys. A journey that we did 20 years ago when we bought our first house. Totally NOT by the book… We were on holiday and went to buy a baguette for lunch and ended up buying a wreck of a house with no water, electricity, drainage or a roof on our credit cards!
La Maison Rose - Laying the concrete floor in the lounge two years ago!
Since then we have bought 10 more houses… Once the bug bites it won’t go away.!…..so be warned, if you catch yourselves looking in Estate Agents windows look away quickly!..
However if you do intentially or ‘accidentally ‘ buy a French property we are always here if you have any questions about the miles of red tape of the masses of paperwork required!
There is also a house buying page on our website http://www.frenchgites.com/Tourism%20Brittany%20House%20buying.htm
Happy House Hunting!
