Can anyone tell me if it is possible to build a house in the Dordogne using qualified english builders? How do I stand regarding building certificates? I intend to use local artisans for plumbing, electrics etc.I would be grateful for any help in this as I have been unable to find the information myself.   Johnson

I have purchased a plot of land in the Dordogne and would like to to use builders from England. I have been told if I do this I won't have the building certificates which I will need if I decide to sell within 10 years. Does anyone know if this is right? If it is and I go ahead, will I be able to sell if I decide to? Thank you everyone for your replies, but I may not have made myself clear. I would like to use fully qualified british builders to build the main frame.  I will then use French artisans such as plumbers and electricians, ground workers for everything else.These english builders would be fully insured, hopefully in France.Would this not satisfy the frnch authorities?   Thank you Margaret Dover Kent

I would like to build a house in the Dordogne using british builders. I understand I need certificates for the build. Is this likely to cause me major problems if I decide to sell the house within the 10 year period. I would welcome any advice offered on the subject. Alan Bartley
