I have just purchasing a transit van full of 2nd hand furniture from a friend who has suddenly returned to the UK. I have receipts for the majority which was purchased in 2005. I am moving from Geneva to France in 2 days time and was assuming I will have no problem crossing with 2nd hand (but suddenly getting a bit twitchy). Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks Raffa    

Thank you for the quick response and advice. The ''Etat des Lieux'' is woth knowing about.

Thank you for a very quick response and good advice.

Hi, I am due to rent an apartment from 1st March near Annemmase. I was a bit surprised to discover I have to take out insurance for repair of goods (such as washing machine) even though they do not belong to me. Also, against water damage, fire, etc. I don't mind going along if this is the norm but I do not want to be ripped off. Is taking out such insurance normal practice? I know I have to pay habitation tax and a nominal garbage tax (the owner informs me). Are there any other surprises I need to be aware of. Thanks Rafa
