Lori Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 What exactly does this mean? I don't see it on all house listings, but I do see it on some. Ce bien fait l’objet d’une délégation de mandat. Can someone help me out here? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I think it means that it is a house that is for sale with another agent, but that the second one can also advertise it to open up the client base.https://www.france-immeuble.fr/pourquoi-delegation-de-mandat/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thank you Norman. That makes sense. Seems to jibe with the internet search definitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Sometimes several agents group together and pool their offer.Here in Béziers there is this examplehttps://www.vends-du-sud.fr/fr/nos-agences.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 This is probably not at all to your taste but gives an idea of the prices around herehttps://www.gc34immobilier.com/fr/detail.htm?cle=343901737&monnaie=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Blimey, the garage is nearly as big as our flat, which would cost you (nearly) as much as the whole house!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Yes, that is a BIG house.I actually liked most of it. Too close to the other houses though. The bedroom wallpaper would need changing. But that kind of thing is no big deal.The drop ceilings are a different story. You can see the mould around the edges in several photos; typical of drop ceilings. That is not an inexpensive thing to change.Are the suburbs of Beziers safe?Thanks for the link Norman. And the explanation of the combined efforts of several agencies working together. I have not seen that in the Vaucluse/Drome - short of agencies in the same network; all Maurice Garcin agencies work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 This house is on the simple side, but it looks like a lovely setting. Berlou does not appear to be in a flood zone and is in the level 2 radon zone.https://www.gc34immobilier.com/fr/detail.htm?cle=343901741&monnaie=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Department71 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 We stayed in a Gite in Berlou by the wine co-operative many years ago, nice area but it was a fair way to Beziers, at the time there was nothing there that we could find except the co-operative. Mind that was in the 1980's lovely peaceful area though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Berlou is a lovely quiet village in a magnificent area where I used to go often when I could still drive. It may be a little TOO quiet as there would be little social life, but St Chinian and Roquebrun both which now have "Anglo" communities are not farAs Dpt71 says there is not much there except the cave and this restaurant whose owners I knew quite well, although I don't know if it will have survived Covidhttps://youtu.be/2jqsiq2RtY8It is about 40 minutes to Béziers and the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith-aka-Judith Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Yes, also stayed in Berlou. Nearest big town is St Chinian, but not at lot to do in Berlous itslef, (nice cave though) foothills of the Montagne Noire, a long way to Beziers, roads not so easy and full of traffic .. especially wagons and few little overtaking possible. Can't load your link again, Lori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Thank you all. Sorry Judith, I don't know how to post a link other than to copy and paste it.Sounds like Berlou might just be too small. Looks like it doesn't even have a boulangerie, a pharmacie or small supermarket. Fifteen minutes to St. Chinian isn't bad, but a bit much for a quick trip to pick something up. I'm sure it would bother me after a while.Beautiful setting though. And the link to the restaurant was great ! Though I have to wonder how a restaurant in the middle of no where would survive in the best of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 People travel from a distance (from Béziers as I used to) They had a number of gîtes for those who wanted to stay overnight.The very best restaurant in the area is even more remote up in the Corbières..https://www.aubergeduvieuxpuits.fr/fr/though Gilles Goujon the chef has just opened another place in Béziershttps://nouvellesgastronomiques.com/gilles-goujon-ouvre-lalternative-a-beziers/They are the sort of places where you need to take out a second mortgage if you want to go to..

Judith-aka-Judith Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Lori,Small villages, especially remoter ones (and some not so remote) tend to die in the winter, which can be long even here. It can be very windy, and very cold. Yes, Berlou is beautiful (and we were there in summer, it was hot) but really too far to St C for bread etc every morning .. practically has to beat sentiment at times like this. Best too look for a slightly larger village with at least some amenities, even if the scenery is not so perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 True Judith. We came to the same conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
