Hi Joanna, You're the first person to reply to the post! I didn't find anyone interested in joining a group locally, but I did go along to a group that meets every so often in Central Brittany at the Thématique café in Mur de Bretagne. That's a bit far for me though. If you email me directly on [email protected] maybe we could chat a bit more...

Calling all English-language writers in Brittany - unpublished or published, experienced or beginner... Would anyone be interested in forming a creative writing group to swap comments & support on work in progress, trigger ideas for those who are struggling, etc. etc.? The idea would be to meet regularly, maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks, depending on location and availability. I am based in Lannion. Any takers?

Theoretically the agent should have studied the seller's deed of sale before accepting the mandate for the property. In reality a lot of sellers are unable to produce the deed immediately (it may still be filed with the notary that handled the previous sale) and it sometimes takes a while to produce, but certainly the contract for sale should not have been signed if the sellers had not produced the deed. It looks like both the agent and the notary are at fault here. In any case, it would seem that the agent's mandate is worthless. I would hope that by now your agent has discovered the real situation re the wishes of the other sellers. If they are in favour of the sale, you may want to hang on even longer to get the property of your dreams. Otherwise, you should be able to negotiate something with your agent, bearing in mind that the agency is at fault, but that it would be better for all concerned to avoid litigation... Good luck!
