We had ours within six weeks of the inspection and written in English, (dept 47) also we were asked to produce the certificate by the notaire before our house sale could go through.

[quote user="Cerise"] You must advice French insurers IN WRITING BY RECORDED DELIVERY that you wish to terminate a policy.  Make sure you give sufficient notice - exactly how much depends on the company.  If you don't do this you are liable for the following year's payment.  In my experience they never let you know next year's premium in time to cancel, so you need to ask. Maggi [/quote] The law was changed recently and now the company must send you a renewal notice, giving you 21 days from the postmark on the envelope to cancel the policy if you wish.    

[quote user="Sunday Driver"]Controle technique[/quote] Yes thanks, I had forgotten to add that to the list, I will edit the post, to include that if the vehicle is over 4 years old it will require a Controle technique dated less than six months prior to the sale.

The seller must pass on the existing Carte Grise marked “Vendu le” and date/time of sale. A "Certificate de cession d’un vehicle" (dated the same date). Showing the Vendors detail's etc. There are 3 copies, one for the Vendor one for the Buyer and one for the Prefecture.   Plus a "Certificate de situation non gage" from the Vendor, showing that there are no charges on the car by the Judiciary, the Treasury or Bailiffs and details of the car, registration number make and type. (you can go online to the government website put in the registration numbers etc and get the non gage certificate immediately.) And if the vehicle is 4 years or older it will require a Controle technique (MOT) dated less than six months prior to the sale/re-registration The buyer must then re-register the car in his name within the next 15 days by submitting the following documents to the prefecture:   Demand de certificate d’immatriculation (application form to register the car) The old Carte Grise Certificate de cession d’un automobile   Certificate de situation non gage.   If the vehicle is 4 years or older it will require a Controle technique (MOT) dated less than six months prior to the sale/re-registration Passport Utility bill   Pièces à fournir pour un véhicule précédemment immatriculé en France  Au guichet :  ·                         la carte grise (ancien modèle) remise par le vendeur, revêtue de la mention « vendu le » ou « cédé le », de la date de la vente et de la signature du vendeur,  Le coin supérieur droit de la carte aura été préalablement découpé, lorsqu'elle comporte l'indication du coin à découper.  Par correspondance :  ·                         la partie haute de la carte grise (s’il s’agit du nouveau modèle de carte grise) remise par le vendeur, revêtue de la mention « vendu le » ou « cédé le », de la date de la vente et de la signature du vendeur,  Cette partie haute peut être adressée par courrier avec le dossier complet de demande de nouvelle carte grise à la sous-préfecture ou préfecture.  ·                         une enveloppe libellée à son adresse affranchie au tarif d'une lettre recommandée avec accusé de réception (20 grammes).  Le coupon détachable, complété par les coordonnées du nouveau propriétaire (et signé par le vendeur), lui permet de circuler pendant 1 mois, jusqu'à réception de sa nouvelle carte grise.

When you start to do your declaration online you can choose in the drop down menu boxes which forms you need to complete.

[quote user="Evianers"] Now the question is, for those already in situ in LBF, are there any banks who offer the same or even simular services please? Have an account with BNP but are not really satisfied - they've made one or two slip-ups recently and guess what............. in their favour [natch]. Thanks in advance for all replies/suggestions. [/quote] Not as far as I know but if you do find one, I and a few others would be interested[:D]

"Taillefine sounds groovy - is it available in the UK do you know?" Sorry, I don't know the answer to that but it's available in most of the supermarkets in our part of SW France, normally sold in a pack of various fruits.  

Still want to know what the low-sugar or sugar-free yogurt is. Danone make a 0% fat & 0% added sugar, called Taillefine.  

Opas If you are French resident and sell your maison secondaire you could pay around 26/27 % If you are non French resident and sell your maison secondaire you could pay around 16% If you are French resident and sell your main house under normal conditions you would not pay any Tax

If it's a Facture and not a Devis it appears that they have done everything except, the water connection.

I seem to remember we did this frequently on MGB's.[:-))]

Make sure that first of all you left click in the message box and have the flashing cursor, then right click "paste", works for me.  

[quote user="Lollie"]yes like that[/quote] You can buy wooden frames that make the windows/doors look like separate panes from places that sell doors and windows, you can fit them to both sides or just one side, I can't remember at the moment what they are called but you can look in their catalogues.

I am no expert but it looks like a slow worm to me, did it blink at you?[:-))] that's one way of telling, if you are still alive to tell the tale, Slow worms look superficially like snakes, but are actually legless lizards. One way to identify them is that unlike snakes, lizards (and therefore slow worms) have eyelids.

It is a legal requirement to have the "Macaron de viste technique" (little CT sticker) in the windscreen, it must be attached by the mot guy at the time of the CT test, as in Deimos case this wasn't done, but if he had been stopped by the Gendarmes at any time between the 2 CT tests  it may have cost a few €'s fine.

( thinks - the carte gris now carries a new date sticker so I guess I may have answered my own question )   Unless, as I was told recently on this Forum, the sticker is no longer required on the Carte Grise. AFAIK and I could be out of date. The vehicle documents you are required to carry are Le Permis de Conduire (driving Licence) a photocopie is not acceptable, the original Carte Grise (registration document) unless it's an hire car then a photocopie is acceptable, and l'attestation et le certificat d'assurance. (your paper copy of the insurance document / green card signed by the main driver). These document, if not available at the time can lead to a fine and in the case of non production  they must be produced within 5 days at a police station of your choice  

If you are new on this forum, you do not know how to search.  I don't think that it matters if a subject is done to death.  It encourages new people to come onto the forum.  This question was the first question that I ever asked (only a couple of months ago) and Sunday Driver was a star.  Sunday - keep up the good work, even if you paste the same message several times - we need folk like you! If you are new to the Forum or not, a simple search or a look at FAQ is common courtesy and if you can't find any results then I am sure people are glad to help.    

"If your trailer is over 750kg, then all the above plus it'll need its own braking system." And don't forget it will need a separate Insurance certificate as well[:D]

[quote user="Ron Avery"] Sorry but this really has been covered so often on here, all you need to do to find your answer is a search of "registering a car in France"  Yes,  you do have to be resident. and you need the same details to insure a car as in the UK,  registration documents proof of ownership, no cliams, and driving license, plus proof of residence. [/quote] I agree that this has been done to death on here and other sites, the information is out there, just a click away, some people are so lazy that they can not do a simple search for the main points and then come back if need be with specific queries. The only thing I would say is that you do not have to be a resident of France to register a vehicle here, just an address is sufficient, I think Ron was not thinking too clearly in his response[:)]

[quote user="Gastines"] If a mortgage is required,I believe I'm correct in saying you can include your mortgage being available and accepted, as a condition of completing in the C.d V..Basically if things don't work out,you get your deposit back in FULL[/quote] It's a legal requirement and you have to sign away your rights if you don't want a mortgage

"I know differnet departments interpret the regulations in different ways but this is local information" There is no doubt about that, this caravan was registered in Perigeux and the plate was attached to the chassis in the front locker no probs. I now know after researching that the Plaque de tare et de surface is not enforcable on caravans, you learn something everyday.

This year it's 1.459€ to £
