No, I'm not.......you have to be very very careful, to have an exact contract, and ensure you throw them out off your land for a week a year, so as not to grant them adverse possession (squatters rights).....quite a few folks, thinking it was a great deal, lost the title to their own land.......:nenau

Blimey!

If you buy a house ,lets say for 50k and you do it up and sell it for lets say 150k within 2 years of buying it, the previous owner can claim you have made an unfair profit and ask for a share of it !!!! :doh

...why on earth would you buy a property in France?



I never dreamt it was that bad, I know various countries have oddities in their laws, but they're takin' the "you know what"!!!

Napoleon still rules.......that and a rabidly socialist left leaning governance creates these strange situations.....but it is still a great country to live in, if you can live with it......:nenau
