Will Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 There is information elsewhere on this forum about users' experiences with this and similar companies - just put 'oui can help' in the search box at the top of the page.Edit - some of the most interesting information seems to have disappeared, but this link might help a bit http://www.vienormande.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1158072166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beryl Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 So if a UK company is working from France and not registered , are they effectively working on the black? and more importantly could 'customers' be in trouble for using them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well, it's a complicated subject, and not knowing too much about this particular outfit I couldn't possibly comment. But a business that has been in France more than a couple of years and is not French registered does beg a few questions. If a business is on the black then yes, customers can be in trouble. It's worse with an artisan of course, because of the insurance implications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laizy Days Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi Tia,We have recently purchased in France and we used VEF through there Burgundy office. Even though it was, what I thought at the beginning to be quite expensive circa 5k. From start to finish they have been absoluteley proffessional and I now feel I have had value for money. We where kept informed of everything that was going on, they dealt with the agents selling the property, notaire, the local marie for outline planning and change of use for the property, everthing was translated to English, they sorted out the bank account, mortage, electricity, water, they accompanied us at the signing of the comprimis, and then the final signing, translating everthing. The staff in the London office where extremely helpful always returned calls, Burgundy office I believe went beyond the call of duty. It made the purchase for us very simple and straight forward, and overall a good experience, far easier than the experience we are having with our UK home.Hope this helpsNeale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
