Trouble is you can read into it whatever you want but here is another slant that I saw in the 'connection' news today online: 'recent changes in French banks' lending policies along with a move away from long-term rental towards home ownership has boosted property prices in France. This, together with a supportive government policy and low interest rates, has made the purchase of French property attractive to UK buyers. One current area of high activity is equity release from French property, a product on offer from at least two French banks. This type of borrowing is available to both French and non-French national .. So. what do you believe?

Not sure what catogory we fall in then... under 60, long term disabilty pension from the UK and on CPAM 100% . Been here over 3 years but after Carte Sejour's were not nessesary any more. We've heard nothing that suggests we will not be covered but are we now to worry that come 2008 we may just get a letter?  

We are having to move back to the UK having lived over in France for a wonderful 3 and a half years.We have just this house and no other in the UK . We have a potential English buyer interested in purchasing our house here in France. Could anyone give us any information or advice as to the easiest way of goinf about it and/or any pitfals that we may have missed. We were also wondering whether or not it would be possible for our buyer to pay for the house in sterling which would make the transaction much easier. We are selling it privately. Alison
