Marc Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I sold a property in Brittany back in 2007 for 12 000€ (it wasn't very big!)Today a cheque arrived for 900€ as they are 'purging the account'.Excellent news but why did they have it and why would they hang on to it for so long?Should have said - it was from the Notaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyG Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Have not sold a property in France but have heard that the Notaire holds back a certain sum to satisfy any charges/taxes etc although 5 years does seem a long time even for France to clarify it.
