  1. Hi Jane..thanks for the lengthy, helpful response and advice... The main house is in need of renovation, but it is habitable, but with no hot water or inside loo/bathroom...At the moment I can't decide whether to just buy as a holiday home or to completely relocate.  As I am widowed perhaps I should just settle for a smaller property in a town/village and make life easier, but I had thoughts about renovating the barns to let out as Gites to keep me occupied and maybe as a future home for my son and family if/when he gets married.. My son is not fluent (yet) in the language, but he is taking it at A level next year, along with Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics...like I said he is really interested in going to university in France, he fell in love with Paris earlier this year, but I told him even somewhere like Toulouse, Lyon or Bordeaux would be wonderful places to study.... I would love him to grow up in France and build a life there. Perhaps I should put up a post re English speaking university courses in France..Where should I post it? Thanks for the advice about renting, maybe I might do that next year after Josh has finished his GCSE's. Steve Monti...thanks for your response...just had a look at your site..how big are the jobs you take on?    
  2. Hi, I'm new to the forum, looks great BTW and packed full of interesting info. I've seen the property I want to buy, it's midway between St Cere and Rocamadour, near Gramat.... It's been on the market since at least March, possibly much longer, priced at 177000 euros...It's in need of renovation, no hot water or bathroom,  (an old farm, plus out buildings)...What would be an appropriate offer without offending the owner? Because it needs so much work and I am not able to be there what would anyone suggest, do I need to appoint someone local, possibly English speaking to act as a project manager? What are the French tradesmen like when it comes to getting a job done on time? I'm hoping to perhaps move to France with my 15 year old son (16 in January), he is interested in going to university in France. Is this possible?  Any advice would be greatly received. Steve
