belu Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi allWe are taking possession of our new build in a few weeks time and had decided long ago on a name for our house - the land itself had been known locally by this name for many decades so we chose to keep it. However, we have noticed that another property (new build) in the next street has adopted this name so unfortunately we need to think up another. I think we were fairly safe permission wise on our original choice but can anyone tell us if we need to get permission to name a house. Obviously we are not going to call it anything along the lines of La Pondarosa or Thistledome but maybe there are guidelines/rules? It is very rural with only 2 other houses in the street so don't think just a number will be practical. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hello Belu. There have been a couple of threads about this thorny issue.

Iceni Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 You live somewhere rural so why do you need to name your house ? Unless of course your neighbours have the same surname and initials.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinabee Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Have you checked the plan cadastrale? It is available on-line herehttp://www.cadastre.gouv.fr/scpc/changeLangue.do?lang=en&cty=ENOur house is on 3 separate plots that have different names - but that might just be because the fields in our village are so small [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framboise Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Ours wasn't named when we bought it but we gave it back it's original name thats on the Plan Cadestrale. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phylisbide Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 On the plan cadastrale ours just has a number, and we were thinking it would be nice to name it - not only for instructions to friends or delivery people - but just because it would be nice - although we have managed up until now - do we have to check with the Mayor?
