  1. [:$] Would you recommend photo bucket?I have registered but not sure what to put after I have uploaded pics -if anything where it says URL link------. HTML link--------. IMG code----------. Thought it a good idea to make Byke pics available to all by using photobucket-  We had a great 2 weeks in the IOM at the TT ,we think some of the pics will print quite well - do help yourselves. Brrr to cold outside here at 47. Hence inside ! MrsTT . Mr TT is polishing the byke after a raindrop landed on her[:-))]
  2.   Philippe’s information I read in Buildings & Renovation-Planning Permission not required in house? 23/03/07. I was only trying to help .I copied and pasted the article - nothing to do with me -not my interpretation, I just thought it relavent.I had no reason to question what was written- it appeared in good faith.The information does seem to be following a pattern of what is happening in the UK.I personally think its important to have serious work done by a registered builder  (electrician or plumber) in France be it an English Artisan or French- otherwise you have no comeback as regards insurance.

  3. La Rue- Phillippe wrote this elsewhere.I have read on other forums very similar information. Question Can someone just confirm that you can do pretty much what you like inside a house, regarding modernisation (not a complete renovation)without any planning permission. I am thinking in terms of  an extra bathroom/taking down a partition wall. I thought I read that you only needed planning permission if it changed the outside appearance, i.e. a dormer window in a loft conversion, but anything inside you could do freely, pretty much as in the UK. What happens in the case of a property joined to another, i.e. semi-detached cottage, or flat? Do you have to get permission from the immediate neighbours for any internal  building/alteration works? Phillippe replies Simply-No, you cant do what you want as regards renovation inside the property. To keep it as short as possible you have to notify the mairie so they will decide if you need permission not to need permission or otherwise. You cant hide this information because (leglislation) at point of sale at some point in your life time or others a comparison is made on how property differs from previous. I have sat in as translator with the notaire over a number of property transactions over the years with English. My last three were delayed either because of above (one fell through totally) or they had to get work they had done themselves approved and signed off by an artisan (very costly), and they were informed that should there have been an accident / fire etc due to any new work detected at fault  they would have had to produce the certificate/ account of work approved if unable to have done this than the Insurance quite likely could have been invalid. The Notaire also offered a compromise to the clients (where the sale fell through) because no Artisan was prepared to Authorise a certificate/ approval for the new inrerior walls and part of roof that was built by the proprietor the Notaire said it was usual for a bond to be paid over to the Notaire and held for 3 years to cover costs should it collapse! The house was withdrawn from sale.   A lot of old farmhouses (as an example) have been reclassified as farm buildings to avoid payment of tax –look at your rate. If this is the case you will need a CU to provide agreement in principle to reinstatement of the building as a house (even though it was lived in before). This will outline any restrictions eg you may be allowed to renovate but not demolish and rebuild and if you  are reclassifying the building as a house being that its a holiday home or resident home and not farming (you cant class yourself as a farmer - have to be a registered working farmer) ,  you need a Permis de Construire. By going to your mairie all you questions will be answered . Remember that departments often differ on their interpretation on some regulations so do not hide anything because you can be sure your neighbour will know what you are up to. Please explain to your neighbour it will make your life easier.
