[speedferries new service]

Hi all

This is wonderful news - I had a ferry booked with Brittany at 410 for a car and 4 people (inc. cabin) with speedferries it's 50. I will now cancel Brittany and book with speedferries. Has anybody travelled with these people before and are they reliable.

[Habitable Space]

Hi everyone

Can anybody tell me if it should have been mentioned at the Notaires office when signing for our houses, about how much m2 of habitable space we have in each house? On the paper work it is noted down has two houses with workshop at back in a very bad state of repair. The houses are in Dept 16 Nr St. Junien.

The reason why I ask is - we purchased these buildings with the hope of making them back to 2 houses and making extra bedrooms and living rooms out of the workshop (this workshop is accessable only from the inside of the house). I did mention to the estate agent prior to us signing that we should put a clause in the contract stating if we couldn't make them into habitable rooms that we could pull out (it's too late now as we own them). Our estate agent said we would not need permission to make more habitable space and didn't need to put a clause in.

Since reading a message day before yesterday on the forum regarding only being allowed a certain m2 of habitable space I am now beginning to panic as I have arranged for a electrician and plumber to start making 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms beginning of April.

Hope somebody will be able to enlighten me on this subject.

Regards Lynn
