fulcrum Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I have received a letter recently from Gaz De France explaining that they can easily connect my house to the town gas. I don't have a need of a connection at this time and am aware of various maintenance charges for an installed system. But as we are selling our house in the not too distant future would be interested in anyone else's experience.We are at the moment laying tiles on the ground floor rooms. Obviously we don't want GDF to suggest digging them up but the idea of having town gas connected seemed like a good selling point.I would appreciate anyones experience if any of what is involved.Can I pay for a one off connection fee and then not have the house fitted out with a proper installation and thereby avoiding any annual maintenance fee.

Chancer Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Why not lay the pipes before finishing your carrelage? Then you can say to prospective buyers that the house is prepiped for gaz de ville which can easily be connected and show them the letter and the gas points in the kitchen.

Deimos Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'd agree with JR. If you don't want it, the next owner may or may not want it. If they don't its a waste of money. If they do, then it will cost them the same as it costs you. If you have the opportunity to bury the pipes now then I'd certainly do that.Iam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
