They are good in the fact they speak english. There are based all around France , would a private small firm be cheaper . Any advice will do

    Train travel

    in Travelling to/from France

    Hi Guys

    I have moved to the Northern alps and am looking forward to travelling around Europe by train. I am 31 years old and was wondering if there is a rail card i can purchase to get some saving on train fares.

    If not is it best to book in advance or just turn up at the train station on the day . Also is there a website to book the tickets through or just through rail europe.

    Hope some one can help

    Proxy Document Witnessing

    in French Legal Issues

    Posted

    Hi Paul ,

    We have just done the very same. We live in Jersey and are buying a property in France. We were therefore in Jersey when the Acte De Vent had to be signed. A copy of the Acte was sent to us for us to check with our lawyers. We were also sent a power of attorney which gave the notaire in France the authority to sign it on our behalf. We signed the power in front of a notary public in Jersey, who also signed and stamped it. We then had to get the document legalised. I believe it has to be done this way and it can not just be signed by the buyer.

    Regards

    Land Registration Fee Mortgage

    in French Legal Issues

    Posted

    Hi There

    We are in the process of building a property in the alps and were going to purchase the property outright. We have now decided to take a small mortgage . We have been told there is a land registration fee based on how much you borrow . They have given us a figure which seems quite high . Is this the case in France and is there a website that details the percentages relating to the land fees,as i have only been given a figure and not the percentage .

    Hope you can help
