Ah but the potential vendor is English and therefore viewed as a pigeon.
Sadly there is no smoke without fire, someone somewhere will have recounted just how much an English pigeon has in the past paid for a pile of rubble, in my area this preconception is all but impossible to shrug, the best negotiating in the world would only secure a face saving 5% reduction from the asking price whether it be €51K for a pile of stones or a devi to refelt and replace existing tiles on a small roof.
P.S.
Re the agents commission, again speaking from my area, it is likely to be 8% or more for a property of that (relatively) low value, offering less is likely to increase the commission, they have an invers sliding scale in my area that has to be seen to be believed.
Also you should remember that all notaires fees increase as a % with the decrease in property value.
Good luck
Read this and learn, oh fluffy ones. Remember, they all want your money by hook or by crook. -
How much did Tata pay Ford for the whole sheebang including the Tata Rover and the Jaunguar (sic) Mondeo?
Tell me more J.R. does native, please. How goes the block of flats by the way?

Not a yurt in sight

Applied to many, that means property money, company car or tic. Few have actually added value to the UK. And too many are just being bullies in the playground.
-
If you mean old cars then that is something else because they are a passion and almost an art form, so exhibiting them is not the same as Flashharry in his Spivmobile.

Those prices sound way over the top for the current market, but I dont know your area. Go as low as you like. It is your money after all. Decide what the ruins are worth to you.
You could put in a very low offer and just wait. If they are selling them off they may be chancing it or may need the dosh. Don't rush it though.
Sounds as they are worth zilch to me. Trouble is, some people believe the myth of those rich Brits chucking huge sums around. Backed up by what they see of Tata trucks etc.
-
It can be up to 7%, depending on the agent, but usually round 5/6%. Yes, go to the agent with the offer but first see if you can negotiate their fee down a bit. If they are not selling much they might do a deal. Then lower your offer by the amount of the agent's fee so you dont pay it on top. If the vendor is pushed, you could even lower your offer by the notaires fee as well. It all depends how anxious the vendor is to offload the barns.
Make the agent work for the money though, do not do all the negotiating yourself.

The local marie says that they want all owners and riders of these mowers to pass a test and get a licence as of 2009. Anyone else heard this?

You can remain my friend as long as you dont get a Tata truck or the equivalent!!![kiss]
Anyway I thought you antiques people had to have white vans, very rusty!!!

Cerise, you sound blissfully happy.

Yes I do know RH, but I haven't lived in this part of the Vendée for long and am in a state of shock. In the eastern highlands of the Vendée these people penetrated rarely and were then just seen as ridiculous. But surely 30 aligned in the single line car park was provocation.
I must say that this Saturday there were only nicer cars which did not stick out from the Dutch, French and (Frith help us) Belgians.
The caravan park down the road is seriously full of them though. I wandered through to see what was what, never having been there before, and came out numb. Perhaps my little Destroyer might sort out a few sets of tyres and make us all laugh. (He has been hired by the French government to help scrap their well travelled aircraft carrier.)

Couldn't agree more actually. it is the Tata tanks I have problem with, especially as most of them are on tic

But lookat the big fish I have caught. A whale with a simple mackerel line.[6]

I see their showing off as either stupidity and ignorance or a kind of dominance based on a very nasty nationalism. If only one could make them understand that knicking their nuts (or whatever the stupid bits were) is a kind of warning from the local people who have less and resent the showing off or worse.
Now, back to putting sugar into the tank......
-
The imbecility shows through with this worship of the trivial and stupid and is precisely why I am horrified by the insensitivity of the idiots who race round here in Tata trucks with no consideration for the place they live in. But then..... (no, I'll be in toruble if I say more).
You wanna here them in the local restaurant by the way.
As to someone giving the slightest importance to stupid, mindless, moronic devices such as dust caps, I despair for the human race that such things have taken priority over real life... But then some Brits are at the end of their rope, living on tick and others misery. I feel sorry for some of you.
If you really believe I put nails under their wheels.....
-
There is a huge one a mile or so from me at Apremont in the Vendée, full of upmarket chalets and, interestingly, dozens of those hideous Indian Tata truck thingies. It is almost entirely patronized by Brits. It would be worth checking out.

Out of interest, why do you have a suppository on your bicycle wheel? Is this a requirement for all TV2 or 4x4 owners. I cant help thinking they would be better satisfied if it was put to its designed purpose.
-
I like the towels in Formula One hotels. They say it all really
-
I have been looking on the web for TV2 but cant find any reference to automobiles. Can someone help please? I assume it is similar to a 2CV.
-
Is that really what all the fess is about? Why on earth would someone want to nick those? Still, as you say cassis, the allen key seems very similar to one I lost awhile ago. Is it posssible that TV2 owners have been stealing allen keys so they can get those things off to pump their tyres?
-
Weren't they sold on french ebay last night?[6]
-
So possible to have a triple residence then. Hmm, complex.

You've lost a lot of hair since then Cassis?
