5 weeks on the market and the 2nd viewer!!!!!!!
Who said that you cannot sell a house in France???????
The couple who came to view were so nice, we completed the viewing and they stayed for coffee and we got chatting (for a couple of hours) they love the house as much as we do, it fits all of their needs and is the correct price.
We accept the offer the following morning, now we just have to get the wheels in motion as they want to complete if possible before the beginning of April.
And just to make the day perfect our friends arrive, so we can celebrate with them, and celebrate we do (for a solid 48 hours, I feel so tired at the end of their visit).
It is now a very strange feeling there is so much to do for the sale, as in France the owners are responsible for getting all the diagnostiques completed (these are the equivalent of the survey in the UK).
This is a much more sensible way of doing things, the diagnostiques have to be completed by a registered company and then are available to all potential purchasers, rather than the purchaser having to have them completed on each house they are interested in.
Bloody hell we will be leaving our renovation project in possibly less than 2 months!!!!
We already have our next one lined up in the same village, but we are now seriously considering trying our luck in Spain, can we do it again in another new country? Do I really want to be learning another new language?
But the idea of getting to experience another culture is so exciting, and this time my only stipulation is I will not move into any other house with out an inside toilet, I have found my limitations!
Congratulations!!!! That didn't take very long at all. I'm looking forward to reading about your next adventure. Will it be 'down the street' or on to Spain. I read a really interesting Spanish blog written by an English lady. Everything seems very cheap (as in price) there. Your money seems to go a lot further. It's called 'Being Here'

thanks janice, the next part is 'down the street' then it will be on to Spain (and yes it is really cheap there :) I'll have a look at the blog and hopefully get some tips
DeleteFantastic congratulations and best of luck for your next project.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will be looking at your blog, sounds amazing and your pictures are great :)
DeleteCongratulations! Are your buyers French or English? Good luck with the move wherever you choose to go next.
ReplyDeleteWe sold our house very quickly too. The diagnosic report was an eye opener for us as the electricity had not been done correctly when the house was built. The new owner knew that and it meant they could not come back later with that problem.
Thanks Anji, they are an English couple, the diagnostics are a nerve wracking experience, when we bought they were out of date, but we never had them translated as we knew we would replace everthing
DeleteWOW! That's impressive, good luck with the new venture
ReplyDeletethank you, we were very happily surprised at the speed :)
