zeb Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 We are hoping to buy a habitable wreck (!) in Dept 65 or 64 and need help in our search. We have contact with several immobiliers but just need someone to liaise between some of them and us (send us lots more photos and information about properties we have found on the net) as we can't travel down weekly.Is there anyone out there similar to the Granny Network who would help us search for our next dream home (not an estate agent or agent commercial)?

Patf Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 We looked in 65 last year and found quite a few possibilities similar to what you are looking for through Abafim Immobiliers in Tarbes. I'm sending you a pm with details of someone who could do some research for you - she has done this kind of thing in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamPlayer Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi Zeb,We have lived in France since 1996 and are currently living in dept. 65. If you would like to email me we can discuss how and if I may be able to help you.

jane-sw Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Have been looking for a while ourselves, can let you know what the various valleys below Lourdes are like as have been to a few granges down there. We bought our house through Abafim and if you use them I can give you some pointers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeb Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks all - we are driving down again for several appointments with agents/vendors. If we have the same problems as a couple of weeks ago we'll seek help. We've found Abafim very helpful but some of the other agents........eek.!!Jane, we are also looking south of Tarbes and Pau. We've found that the bergeries/granges with a CU and services close by are very, very expensive now and others (without the possibility of a CU) are advertised as for leisure purposes only.

jane-sw Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Thanks Zeb, found that out ourselves. The CU can be negotiated with the local mayor, if you find something you like go and talk to him. They can be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninthace Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Can I suggest you do not discount the bottom end of Dept 31 - the Haut Garonne appendix that dips down as far as the Spanish border. Good scenery and properties not over priced - handy for the slopes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
