Thank you for that advice Richard.  Can you comment at all on whether it would be better/cheaper etc to have a London based lawyer specialising in French matters to form a Company in the UK to effect a purchase in France or would it be better all round to have a notaire form the Company in France. Presumably there would be annual returns and other formalities to attend to-as there are here- and someone in France might be better placed to do that. Any general advice along these lines will be gladly received.

Has anyone any experience of using a Trust/Offsore Company to buy a property basically to avoid inheritance hassles etc?  Any comments on the set up costs and annual running costs would be most welcome.  Many thanks  [8-)]
