When evaluating a property in France

The visual attraction of properties in Auvergne and Burgundy are immediate. Like the opportunity of buying a piece of Disney Land. An easy chance to make a mistake.

Before making a committment, buyer should be sure to have a professional inspector alert them about possible undisclosed defects of the home under purchase contract. This should include water and sewer connections. Many vacation properties are not on community water systems and do not connect to a city sewer, which can be major problems for uninformed buyers.

Lack of adequate well water and/or a poor septic system is something most buyers of vacation homes don't think about until after they hold the title to the property. Buyer should be sure to seek detailed advice on this topic, which will be invaluable. It should include the importance of well water and septic system tests.

Only when these details have been resolved, can the buyer proceed with assurance.

Si vous plaisez, parlez-vous un peu de français ?

Speak a little French? Well, not really in the case of most Anglophiles.

Americans especially, seem unable, or unwilling to learn even the simplest terms in French. And what they’re missing! It’s appreciated, even when spoken poorly, when the attempt is made to speak even basic greetings, or directions in French when addressing Parisians. Take time to learn a few basics before visiting their beloved city. It will make your visit that much more pleasant.
