  1. [quote user="Rabbie"][quote user="Mr Coeur de Lion"]There's as much point in French immobiliers as there is in Belgium. I really think there is too much a big deal made out of the immobiliers fees. This does not exist so much in other countries, it's already in the price of the property. I guess it's the greed of them and the notaires that makes French property seem so expensive (which it isn't really compared to other countries).[/quote]If you think french property is expensive take a look at prices in England. Roughly twice as much as in France[/quote]

     

    Rabbie, it's the agents fees that are more expensive, not the actual price of the property.

  2. Hi Debbie, that’s a shame. After all the work you not can’t enjoy the tart and have the aggro of scrubbing a burnt pan.

    Perhaps 200 was too high if you have a fan oven, mine is and will probably need a setting of 170 but I’m no expert.

    I’ll let you know how it goes.

  3. I have just received my DPE certificate. What a total load of inaccurate nonsense.

    When the ‘inspector’ was here he asked about the cheminée insert, I explained that it is rarely used as we have a pretty efficient geothermie system.Nevertheless ‘consommations en energies finales’ included over 5,700 KWh chauffage bois. Way over our usage. When I queried this he told me this was a standard figure along with an estimated 3200KWh for hot water by guessing how many showers we had each day!

    What a complete waste of time, absurd.

  4. Idun, you’re a star. We had the beef pie tonight, excellent and very tasty as you said. Bit short of meat so added some lamb’s kidneys to keep the Brits happy and some garlic for the French.

    Many thanks for your recipe, will try the tarte tartin over the weekend.

  5. Yes PPP not a direct charge but doesn’t a fence add to tax habitation?

    For my fence, I was requested to complete a déclaration de travaux exemptés de permis de construire ou déclaration de clôture.

    Not planning permission as most of us know but I was told that ‘le grillage sera couleur verte’. So you cannot install whatever you desire and in my case I have not come across green barbed wire if I so wanted, so in my world I consider this planning permission.

  6. JR thanks for sharing your reply.‘Your property must be closed’ I’m not surprised but why is planning permission (at a charge I remember) required for a fence of any sort? Well that’s the requirement in my commune.

    'Bit of a lad?'

    Most are, in a world and law of their own.
  7. Rabbie has a good point. ‘I am not sure if it applies in France’.

    Patf you are correct in writing ‘you can definitely make a claim on the farmers insurance’.

    Proving what caused the damage although obvious maybe difficult if your neighbouring farmer is like mine. He would probably say the damage was caused by deer and he would present me with a bill for the fertiliser the cows left behind.
  8. For many years I was quite friendly with a cattle farmer; I remember well when he told me to be wary of cattle as every now and again he has a rogue cow (not a bull) that can be very dangerous, they are sent earlier than normal to the abattoir but in the meantime one may go walkabout.
  9. As far as I understand, it is the farmer’s responsibility to keep his cows confined to his property; therefore he should erect fencing at his expense.

    I can’t see him installing 150 posts with wire in 8 hours.

    Just barbed wire will not keep cows in when they discover it’s not electrified.

    45€/Hr is expensive for this type of job.

    If you want you could install electric fencing easily and cheaply yourself.

    Have a chat with the maire.
