  1. A good friend has a village house for sale. I remember when I used to subscribe to Living France magazine that they had a section on properties for sale. Can anyone advise me how to contact the advertising section please? many thanks Kate T
  2. In the UK, we used Quickbooks as the accounting package to do our monthly accounts. Now that we have moved to France we will need to use something similar to help us comply with the French Tax system. Does anyone know of such a package? Thanks in advance Kate
  3. We have a maison secondaire and arrived a few days ago expecting to find a request for payment of these taxes, but nothing. Asked at the Mairie and they suggested that I contact the regional office - not very interested really. Asked a neighbour who told me that these taxes are paid in arrears and as we only purchased the house in the middle of September 2001 nothing would be due from us till November 2002. Does this seem reasonable? Or should I face the regional office with my limited French and hope for someone helpful? Any advice greatfully received
  4. In September we realised one of our dreams and bought our maison secondaire in the Languedoc region. God willing we will be able to move over there, lock stock & barrel, in a year or so, once our business is more established. In the short time since we bought the house we have been inundated with folk expecting to use our new home as somewhere for them to have cheap holidays. I would be more than happy for them to visit when we are over there, but feel a bit resentful that they expect to come and go whether we are in residence or not. Some of this resentment comes of the fact that few people bother to visit us up here in the north of Scotland but are more than happy to avail themselves of our hard-earned dream home. Has anyone else found this? Is this the norm?
