Yes, that part is understood. I was interested in undertstanding how Steve's 43% total contributions (employee and employer) was broken down. This is quite far away from the 60+% Will quoted. Thanks.

Another message for Steve here. Steve, my husband and I wish to move to France on the basis that he will continue to work for his UK employer, with the work taking place in France. You mentioned that your payments for employer and employee contributions came to around 43%. There has been some other posts which have mentioned contributions of up to 66%! Do you have any idea of how your 43% is broken down, ie, what percentage is paid for employer/employee? Kind Regards,

Hi All In the interest of trying to minimise fee's, I'd like to be able to buy privately. What are the best sites to find private property sales. Thanks,

My husband and I have recently begun to plan our purchase in France. When looking at property listings on the internet, I believe that there is some ambiguity in the terms 'agency fee's included'. Does this mean that the vendor will pay the fee's or that the seller will pay them as part of the purchase price? As most mortgages will not cover agents fee's, I think this is an important question for many buyers. Thanks to anyone who can help with this.
