When you say "vehicle" do you mean vauxhall-opel or Anglo Irish bank

So does your husband still live in the house that you purchased

I had my tank inspected and I was not there at the time but my neighbour says the inspector gave my septic tank  5 bad points and said he could not find my filter, I have a concrete tank with a lid on it with a plastic pipe that goes up the side of house, it looks like its from the 1960s when they built the house, is there a difference between a septic tank and a fosse septic.

so you need 2 houses in france to get away with only paying for 1 house for tax hab, what if you have 3 or 4 houses do u still pay for 1

so if you occupy a property in france for less than 30 consecutive day then you dont have to pay tax hab but i own only 1 property in france which is a holidey home, will that make a difference

thanks for replys

I have letter from SVL syndicat du val de loire and it says "controle de l assainissement non collectif" and "controle de fonctionnement" for 85 euro, what does this mean, is this for mains dranige  because my house is rural and has fosse septic so theres no mains dranige

I think you can do online banking with moneybookers but i dont know if the rates are anygood

if you live in the house in france full time you could advertise your property on the internet like french property.com then when you find a buyer you get an english speaking notaire to do the paper work, why bother using a uk based estate agent or any agent if you dont have to, keep it simple keep it sweet

thanks for replys, so does uninhabitable mean no furniture at all in the house like beds and sofas and tv but keep things like kitchen sink and bathroom furniture like toilet bathroom sink and shower

my friend told me if you have a house in france which is not furnished  and you live in the uk then you only have to pay for 1 of the taxes but im not sure which 1 it is, is this true

thankyou ric and jo yes its 4p for french landlines and 15p for french mobiles, i cant believe its so cheap these days

does anyone know the best uk mobile phone deal to ring france ie vodafone or orange

thanks for the reply eco

ring your phone company and ask them

when someone from france   rings me on my mobile phone and im in the uk do i pay some money towards the call like the old days or is it free for me to recieve calls now because one has  heard there is new eu regulations on mobile phone calling charges in the european union, can anyone help today

thankyou for replys

I need to give credit agricole my uk mobile phone number but do i add the 0044 then the mobile number then 0787 etc or do i drop the 0  to make it 0044 787 etc, can anyone help

gardengirl why dont u get a wifi notebook then u do not have to pay  4 internetcafe and what is mediatheque, is it a chain or new club

it is not a legal req for house insurance if france, so if you close your bank account then they cannot take the direct debit out each month, thats wat im going to do

SO WHAT YOU LOT ARE SAYING is you are not aloud to change your home insurance company or it is difficult to change home insurance, in the uk your can change your car and home  insurance company every week but 1 can u do the same in france and 2 do i have to have house insurance in france ie bricks and morter insurance not contents insurance

you may be able to buy a french dongle, but they will only work in big towns or citys and what about wifi at french macdonalds does anyone use this service because if theres 20 people in macdonalds using wifi wats the internet speed

thats good but wat if i want to exchange euro to pound, i bet i dont get 1 pound to 1. 07 euro, i bet i get 1.2 euro to 1 pound, i dont like the exchange people, they have to have there cut dont they

im in the uk but i can ring them up and someone will ring me back and speak in english which is a good thing, i assume credit agricole will give me a price on the day so i will check the price then i will say yes or no, if the price is no good i will ring the next day and see what price is like, anyway thanks 4 replys    

im thinking of transferring 10k euro from CA to lloydstsb to pay of 1 of my loans, does anyone know what type of exchange rate i would get ie do CA get there rates from hifx or currencysdirect or is CA exchange rate as good as hifx and the others, does CA give you a price first before you agree
