vivienz Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Skidding in sideways and making it by the skin of our teeth, our property purchase on St Jacut in Brittany completed on New Year's Eve. We had a last minute glitch with our bank delaying the transfer of the purchase price as they ignored their own notes about their security callback following our transfer request, but the monies got to the notaire on the final date. Phew!It's been an interesting and relatively simple process, but then the property is so small and in an area that doesn't change much, so we'd have been surprised if there were any hitches. We had a power of attorney in place for the final signature on the acte, so we didn't have to make any last minute dashes over, which would have been very difficult at this time of year. The notaire didn't seem to hang around - we reckon from when they got the draft documents to when everything was ready for signing, only took them about 6 weeks which is good going, by our reckoning.We're off to pick up the keys and have our first long weekend there in just under a couple of weeks - a very pleasant, post Christmas break.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
