Hello,

Thank you so much for your hospitality, it's very much appreciated! We haven't moved in yet, we are still in the process of obtaining our loan, which we are told will not be a problem given our income and price of the house. Just takes time!

No kids but we have 4 Siamese cats! The house is habitable, there's old electrics and a sink in the kitchen, a bathtub, etc. It all works just needs updating, and of course cosmetic stuff like wallpaper. The move will take all of our savings so we couldn't get a home with too much work needed. Over time, it could be quite grand! I'll let you know when we come down to sign pepers, etc. It would be lovely to meet you!

Hi!

Thanks for the message. Gosh, bought your place in 2000 that is a long time ago! Is it true that when your house is being worked on you need to be there to supervise? And also that they will make an appt. and not show up? I've read this in all of those "expat moves to France" books!

OOPS....

I meant 2008 not 2000...

She who must be obeyed would never wait that long!

Hi,We are Marg & Mike,from birmingham,and 2km north of
Chenerailles just off the d997.
It's a holiday home at the moment but we hope to retire there soon.
We will be over next early Sept,so if anybody needs anything desperately,let us know.

Hi Marg and Mike,

Hello from me and my Dutch partner, Joost. I don't know the area well yet, but I imagine that anyone within La Creuse can't be too far from each other. I hope we can meet you sometime once we live there.

I'm not sure when our loan will go through and we need to sign papers in person, but will let you and the rest know to see if anyone wants to chat in person. It may be as soon as September, I'm not sure how long these things take normally.

How did you choose the area?

we visited friends in boussac and fell in love with the area :

We also looked at houses in Boussac but they weren't what we were looking for, lovely area though.

Do yu have any advice or suggestions for us for this move?
