I'm looking for either a pontoon or mooring buoy in the region Le Guilvinec to Benodet. I'm told that these are scarce and very difficult to find. The boat is <7metres and only draws 0.8metre and I would be happy with either a mooring buoy or pontoon. This will only be used in the summer but I'd be prepared to lease a buoy for a year, if that was reqd. Any advice?  

I think you're right - we'll eventually have to pay. Still, a formal complaint to the regional chambre of the notaires may force him to clean up his act (I'll feel better if nothing else!)- it also took him months to issue a receipt for our deposit.   regards..

Hello The purchase amount on the CDV we signed was 100K. This was the total amount inc frais d'acte, hon de negotiation etc. We paid a 10% deposit (10K). We then paid the requested balance of 80K, which, in reply to our queries, they assured us was correct. The document (attestation) signed in the notaires office at the closing of the sale, was for the base house price as agreed in the CDV, ie not including frais d'acte or hon de negotiation. I suspect he only found the shortfall when he went to pay the auctioneer and taxes. regards..

Hello all need some forum advice pls. We have just bought in France. Let's assume we signed the CDV for a total price of 100K. Paid 10% deposit - no problems. Prior to closure, the vendor's notaire asks our notaire for 80K (not 90K). We query this and are told no - its all correct, they have saved some tax due to fitted kitchens etc. Naturally we are delighted. We wire the 80k and our notaire confirms the vendor's notaire has received it. We arrive for the final signing, both notaires, vendors, auctioneer and ourselves are present. Docs all signed, vendors get cheque, we get keys- all leave happy. We move into the house and some weeks later get a 4-line email from our notaire saying that the vendor's notaire has made a mistake and now needs 12K (not the apprx 10K we reckoned).  At this stage the money has been spent on house and we will have a problem trying to find this cash. My view is the notaires both screwed this up and they should be liable. Anyone have prior experience/knoweledge/advise on this point? regards...

We paid €650 recently. regards..
