    [quote user="knee gel"]Hi chessfou2

    Absolutely no idea as to why the message was in english and agree it was very odd when everything is usually in french on Orange.fr. I would be very grateful if someone could explain the reason why.

    I would think it's because you have set the Livebox to English Language setting.

    buying property with UK pounds

    in French Legal Issues

    Posted

    Nomoss is correct rules have changed. I am trying to do a deal at the moment to receive payment in £'s Sterling, the notaire says  although she is willing to do it, the rules have changed recently and there are lots of hoops to go through. The buyers have to prove where the money came from and if they can't or it looks suspicious she now has to report it to the fisc.

    I am also having trouble finding a UK solicitor willing to be the intermediary, apparently they are getting some stick because they acting like a bank. The only one I have found at this  time,  who is willing to accept the payment from the buyers and then transfer it to my bank account, will only do it, if I will also allow them to do the conveyancing on my new property. It appears that this is a way around  the problem, they can then be seen to be giving advice, and acting for their client.

    I used to buy from him, but I now buy exactly the same product for half the price, from Spices of India and not far off the same delivery charge.

    First, would you translate 'parois

    vitrées' as 'glass walls'

    I think that this would be secondary double glazing, a cheaper alternative to replacing your existing windows.

    The     Parois opaques would be insulating materials for the interior walls.

    [quote user="Belle"]Advise again please, we are obviously doing something wrong, or not filling forms in correctly, we have lived here for 4 years, arriving may 2006, our first tax form was filled out 2007, then 2008/9, for all three of those years we have paid social charges, I'm now 64, and hubby is now 65, we have had a mutelle since arriving, no-one we speak to gives us the  same answers, some tell us we shoudn't pay social charges, some say we should, is there an area on our tax forms that we should be filling out, also we have never been liable for tax, or habitation, only our foncier. Thank you

    I assume by what you say in your post, that you are not eligible for a state pension provided by an EEC country, is that correct?
