Someone told me that if you let out your property in France it affects your CGT when coming to sell. Is this right? Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to letting out your French home? Thanks in advance, Michael

Hi all, Thank you for all the useful local tips! Just what I needed. Now for a dumb question... How do we go about getting garden waste bags and how do they get collected / do we drop them off at a recycling plant? Thank you! ;O)

Afternoon all, I have just moved into the Saintes / Cognac area (17) and was wondering what the best Garden Centres might be for buying plants. I'm looking for semi-established Lavender Plants to plant out a large area around the property. I'm hoping to find somewhere with hardy specimens that would take a view on discounting for quantity. I don't know if there are any websites that deliver across France, but all info will be gratefully received. Have a lovely weekend, mikeh

Hi all, Thank you for your replies. Very interesting. My main reason for asking is that every house sale in France is done by a notarie, who then lodges the financial side of the deal with the local government office. So technically, there must be a database of this information. I just assumed that it would have a portal in the public domain? Zoopla in the UK is only interrogating to the Land Registry database and re-packaging the data through their own website. You all make very valid points and I now know what's what. Thank you all. mikeh

I'm new to this forum, and not been able to find any info in the searches... Is there anywhere that records historical sale prices for property in France such as 'Zoopla' in the UK? Thanks in advance, mikeh
