Mountain dreams Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 We're planning to move to France in the Autumn, renting before we buy.We're looking for a minimum of 3-bed house with garden, which is dog and child-friendly. Looking primarily for a furnish gite initially, then moving on to an unfurnished let.If anyone has anything to offer, please get in touch.Thanks very much.

NormanH Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 There are a couple of agencies which might helphttp://gestion-loubatieres-castela.fr/ havehttp://gestion-loubatieres-castela.fr/crbst_44.htmlfor exampleThere is also Century 21 If you want to avoid agencies you could try leboncoin, although a lot of the adverts at the moment are for seasonal lettings:https://www.leboncoin.fr/locations_gites/offres/midi_pyrenees/ariege/?th=1or there are a couple of Facebook groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 When we moved over, almost 12 years ago now!!! we got our long rental through an immobilier in Carcassonne. I think that you will find that most of them have long lets on their books?The norm is 3 years. We managed to get ours for 2 years, but there is a let out where when we found our house, after 5 months, we were able to give 3 months notice to leave there. That was ideal, because the normal time it took to buy from signing to moving in was 3 months. I don't know if that has changed, but I'm sure that somebody on here will be able to say??? (OPPS, sorry!! Too many [:-))]??? ))) [Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 A normal letting is for 3 years with options for another 3, then another 3, (9 in total) but this concerns the landlord, and creates security for the tenant.The tenant can give 3 months notice at any time, so effectively you are only committed to stay for a few months.On the other hand most house lets are unfurnished, so it's a lot of bother to move in for a short period.
