  1. Very reassuring, thanks guys, I think we are OK.....We have done a fairly "belt & braces" job on the original Letter of Intent, so cross your fingers chaps!
  2. Thank you for your full response. Does a binding contract in France need only offer and acceptance (no consideration, money, will change hands until the deposit is paid when the compromis is signed at a later date)? We have made the Lettre d'intention d'achat subject to securing funds and agreeing the terms of the compromis and asked the Agent to make it clear to us, in writing, exactly what his letter of intent is intended to commit us, and the vendor, to do. I wonder what sort of form others have signed?
  3. I have done some research, but cannot find a definitive answer to this - is a letter of intent, signed by a purchaser - binding in law? In other words, is it a sneaky pre-compromis de vente by another name even though no deposit is handed over. We have every intention of buying a particular house, but many a slip..... In some cases I am told it simply prevents the seller from selling to anyone else at a higher price for an agreed period, but other advice is that this is totally binding leading seamlessly into the Contract. Has anyone signed one of these and what is their view?
  4. Yes, I guess English speaking might be better initially, although we both speak French - the language of the Tax Office is probably off our radar. We are looking in the Bordeaux, Bergerac, Toulouse triangle, but only in the smaller towns within that area.
  5. I am not sure if this is permitted on the Forum, but are there any recommendations for Accountants in South West France. Initially, despite all the huge amount of useful info in the Forum, we thought we should consult an Accountant to look at our financial profile and do Tax Returns.....yes?
  6. I am sure this is covered somewhere else, and forgive me (newbie) for being a pain - but where do I discover the address of the local Tax Office - where I can go and have a cosy chat with a nice....... Well anyway, is there a list of Tax Offices published somewhere?
