The French adminstrative system has a well deserved reputation for impenetrability and being completely unavoidable.  Estate agency has of course its own complement of documentation and many trees have died in the service!  Today I am in the Orthez office.  Not a good start - a buyer has backed out saying they arent going to buy because they cant fit their fridge into the kitchen without knocking down a wall.  Hmmm ......as Marge Simpson would say.  Another client has cancelled their exclusive contract because we have done so few visits.

Hello

I live in the South West of France - just 60 kms inland from Biarritz - with DIY husband and young adult kids who are still cluttering up (literally) the second floor of our farmhouse.  We moved out 6 years ago and I work with local estate agents to help people find and buy property.
