    I think I probably know them by heart, unless they've changed recently. I didn't mention the other forum.ย  But maybe you're referencing the right of Archant to make whatever use they see fit of anything that isย  is posted on the forum?

    Out of interest where ARE the t & cs now, can't find 'em.

    It was Archant's rights I was referring to Betise. No criticism of you at all. I'll have to get back to you as to where the t&c's are now located ( I'm travelling so don't have my normal access ). I know it's tricky to find them once you've created an account which is why I copied them into a PDF when I became a mod.

  2. Go with your gut. There's no reason why, in this day and age, the Notaires can't communicate with each other by email. Once you're happy with the final Compromis you can sign it at the 'local' Notaires office.

    If you do decide to go with a translator, make sure they're court appointed. That way you can sign an English version of your contract which will be held, with the French version, at the Notaires office.

    marvellous woman from Le Mans

    CooperLola. I was thinking about her only yesterday. The way she took the lead during the CPAM crisis. I know there were other groups involved but what she and other members of this forum did was amazing and instrumental in changing the UK government's position. If it hadn't been for them I wouldn't still be in France.

  4. From the article.

    'The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs says it spent ยฃ200m part-funding new facilities to cope with post-Brexit border controls at 41 ports. It acknowledges that fewer checks will now be required and says ports are free to use spare capacity as they wish.'

    Portsmouth is just an example.

    Also from the article.

    'The British Ports Association meanwhile has raised concerns with ministers about the preparedness of the new inspection regime at new border control posts (BCPs), due to be enforced in less than six weeks.

    The trade body says ports have still not been told what hours BCPs will be required to open, or how many staff from two state inspection agencies will be required on site.

    Crucially, they also do not know how much they will be able to charge importers for inspections because the government has not revealed what price it will levy at the wholly state-owned and run BCP at Sevington in Kent, 20 miles inland from Dover.'

    As I said this shower couldn't organise a P155 up in a brewery.

    AVG antivirus software launched in the US in 1998 and one of my first posts circa 2000/01 was to advise a member who was having issues updating their software definitions to download updates from the Czech. site (The parent company Grisoft) as the US site was having issues.

    So we're currently looking at 2000.

    Anyone earlier?

  6. Well we're going through a period of solar flares which will interfere with satellite reception but only for short periods. Could the dish have been knocked slightly out of alignment by last weeks storm?

    How old is your LNB? Perhaps it might be worth getting it replaced.

    You have, I assume checked all your connections.

  7. Then I suspect it's because they've closed the SD radio channels and you ( like me ) live on the edge of the footprint. FWIW I've just done a check & I'm currently not receiving BBC 6 Music, Radio 4 extra, & BBC World Service. Radio 2 is pretty glitchy as well.

    Today is a good day as I've got a signal on BBC news.

  8. Menthe is right.

    The Notaire isn't going to want to draw up a compromis until the final price has been agreed.

    If you are paying the agents fees then they are working for you. Use them to sound out your offer with the owner without making it formal. Something like ' I believe the property is worth more like xxxxx'. Remember the agents fee's are normally a % of the selling price so they won't be keen to go too low. However, that's their problem not yours. I do advise you to get as much information about the property as you can before placing an offer. Again use the agent. It's their job.

    FWIW my last 'property' purchase was some land 10 years ago. The 'price haggling' was all done in the agents office with the owner on the phone. Only then was an official offer made and accepted.
