fleurflace Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 just a bit of info you may be interested in.we are selling our house with a pool, we have put up a 1.3 fence with self closing gate etc all solid and child proof because we have young children not because of any legal req as we already have an aproved alarm.When the notiare asked about the pool he asked for the cert that came with the alarm, I did not have the cert to hand but told him the pool was also fenced. He then informed me that the fence was not approved and i questioned him to how he knew?? (low flying helicopters or ex ray sight i wondered??He then produced a picture taken buy the guy who came round to do ther termite test of the pool and fencing?? not that i am paronoid but is big brother watching?? the notiare said any houses sold with out an approved method could be fined and he would need the cert before the sale could be completedjust to let you knowregards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolguy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 That is truely fascinating.Earlier this year I posted a thread on the role of Notairs andcomplianceprior to a sale, only to be shouted down and proved wrong byothers and none other than the Chambre d Notairs. It seems that someNotairs are taking thier role as Officiers of the State seriously andensuring compliance before a sale can proceed where as others,including the officier from the Chamber regard the matter as 'none ofthier business.'Could you please post the Department this Notair is in so that we canstart to build a picture of this issue. Personally I think that it willbecome very significant in the furture especially now as a protocol forinspection is being established with the Gendarmes.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poolguy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I just visited a Couple who has signed for a house 2 days ago which has a Pool with no compliance with security Norm.The buyers pointed out that there was no compliance on the Pool and theNotaire is aleged to reply that it was now their problem.I am shocked that this could be thier attitude rather than to instructthe seller that thier pool must comply before the sale, as it is thelaw for all pool owners at this time.Attitudes seems to vary wildly throughout the country from departmentto Department. I would be interested to hear from anyone where theNotaire is taking a stance insisting on compliance prior to the saleand in which Department.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
