johno Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi,i hope i can obtain some useful information on here from anyone willing to help.My partner and i are selling our uk home which will give us a cash budget of 200k.We are keen to move to France,probably the South so we are keen to hear other peoples stories,good or bad.And indeed the best places to search for our new home,what we should expect to pay etc etc.Any help will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybananasbrother Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 200k overall ain't enough to keep two of you going if you have to buy a house and don't plan to work or have an alternative income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Wooly, if they bought a titchy house in an "unpopular" area and have some income besides their cash budget, couldn't they manage?I am assured that a lot of French people manage on what we profligate Brits would consider a pittance.

Chancer Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 First posting on a forum and telling the world that they will have £200K to spend - mmmm...................?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicandJo Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Who said they weren't planning to work?The only way to figure out what you can expect to be able to buy is to come on a few exploratory trips. Go to as many estate agents as you can.You lookin for country/city/village life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
