thanks mozman,   i agree there are no margins left in the english market and borrowing to fund it is nolonger feasible.  i understand that social security payments can now be reduced down to a percentage of your profits in the first two years if you reg. as self employed. i have developed properties in england but it does not require any qualifications, would a letter of recommendation from a developer i have worked for a number of years suffice to reg. in france?  wainhomes.

any advice welcome. moving to south charente early next year. intend to renovate old houses and sell on as for a living. realise only small margins after fees and taxes and only profit really from buying at right price,(seems more viable than b&b, or gites providing can manage without mortgage or loans etc?
