broy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I dont think your roofs too bad at all but obviously when negotiatingon price you should appear convinced that the ridge needs redoing,chimneys need rebuilt, gutters straightening, demossing some slates replaced.

broy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Chancer, if you think french house sellers are shrewd I pity you. I think its more likely you spend too much time online (3599 posts!) and are a gullible pigeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 My character is quite low quality unfortunately and I'm probably worthy of a bit of pity as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
