fran in orne

Thanks for all further comments. The great thing about this forum is how helpful folks are to each other. All your input has consolidated my initial thoughts and have accepted the offer. Now hope the sale will proceed - did discuss with the agent whether it was worth holding out for even a little more but don't want to jeopardise a sale in such a difficult market. Fingers firmly crossed...

Thanks very much to you all for your comments - I'm really grateful. Sad to be selling in some ways but needs must! Once sold, of course (hoping it goes through), won't have the overheads or the concerns from a distance. Think I'll be wise to accept the offer on the table.

Bought a house in Normandy when prices were high seven years ago at 75,000 euros. Some inevitable deterioration since then in condition of property (little used). Just received offer of 30,000 euros. Inclined to accept as market seems so slow. Do others agree this seems a sensible decision (taking value of euro into account, will be selling at approx half of purchase price in UK sterling terms) or...? Would value hearing of others' recent experiences in this regard.
