We are new owners (about a month ago).  There isn't a post box, I think the previous owners took the box with them.  There is a hole in the fence where a box used to be. We were informed that it would be full of junk mail within a few weeks and as we will be visiting as a holiday home, we are not sure if we need one or what is the best solution.  All of the companies that we will be dealing with, ie electricity, water have our English address. What do people suggest?

Hi We have just bought a house in the Alencon region and having had time to explore the nooks and crannies of the house think it might have a woodworm problem.  Does anyone have any suggested specialists who would be able to assess and do any necessary works?  We are also looking to do some renovation works which would include converting the basement into rooms.  The basement is a good size and dry. thanks
