Does anyone have any information on acquiring a 100% mortgage, are personal loans easily gotten? We have savings but not the 20% required, we were hoping to use our savings to pay notaire fees etc and use a loan to make up the deposit needed if we cant get a 100% mortgage. Any suggestions?
On the other hand is the deposit on a mortgage always 20%?
We are about to open a french bank account, we would like to try and keep all our banking needs with the one supplier if possible hence trying to sort out mortgages at this stage.
A lot of threads vary about wether to get a french mortgage in euros or in gbp in uk, any thoughts?

Straight to the point kind of person are you, well maybe i do seem naive but i have been researching what living in france actuall entails for a little while and everything you have to do is a little vague, so i might be a little to inquisitive regarding some matters but at least im showing an interest, the water rates had never came up before as im from scotland we have never paid water rates, and yes were trying to find out about my husbands tax etc, im just asking general questions that i thought this forum would help me with, we arent planning to move unitl the beginning of next year there for i think i can ask all the silly irrelevant questions i want.

I was reading a reply in another forum page and it said water rates, do you have to pay for your water in france?

Oh i know but everyday something else pops into my head, today what happens when we want to replace our old couches do they have special uplifts like our councils, do we have to do it, ive got all these questions and no answers, i guess im just fretting a bit because of the language barrier just now but surely by jan-feb next year we will have learned enough to get us started.
