Welcome to my advice video Number 7 Sylvie's useful tips to better speak and understand
French ! Today we are in a special setting, in the heart of Saumur, with Justin whom I
will introduce in a minute.
We are going to talk about the démarches = the things to do when you want to buy a
houe in France and of course you are going to find out how hard it is... or not?
Well, look at this plunging view over Saumur theatre, the rooves of Saumur mairie , it
is extraordinary, isn't it Justin ? He is coming, I am not going anywhere but we don't
have much room ( we are on the staircase!)
Well Justin, you look like the châtelain = a château owner by his window.
Did you mean to buy a castle,?
No, I don't want a castle, I chose this house, it's love at first sight ! un coup
de cœur, I saw it once and i bought it.
So is it really simple to buy a house in France?
It's the same for everyoone, it's not the buying process , it's the people.
I have a solicitor working with me who understands I'm English and I'm stupid, he knows I
don't understand anything, it's great!
Is he a notaire based in Saumur or you knew him from Paris.
He's a notaire who works in Chinon.
Okay, so what's the most imporatn thing you need to know before buying a house in
France ? What are the major differences, because you lived in Australia and Switzerland.
It's a very slow process, because when I bought the house, I had to wait for 3 months,
4 months for the notaire's process Okay 3 months, after the first appointment with
the notaire.
About the French owners, does it go well ? It's fine, my owner is great = génial,super ! He
knows I don' t really grasp the process and he helped me a lot.
In French we either say le processus or les démarches.
In this case, you are really lucky to have both the notaire and the owner as helpful
…! Does the owner = le propriétaire matter more than the notaire.
No, they are the same.
. Really, you were really lucky to have both a helpful propriétaire and notaire, great!
Then I believe there is the matter of the sales agreement, called LE COMPROMIS DE VENTE.
For me it's tricky but I just closed my eyes and signed ! You see, just close your
eyes and sign!
So you didn't really find the process so complicated ? Not at all, what's great is
that before buying the house, there is an exhaustive report with every single house
isue written down on it.
Yes there is an exhaustive report on the house . Well now, because you will have noticed
that Justin speaks French really well but if you don't really speak French, do the
notaires speak English?
No!
Not yours anyway.
My notaire didn't speak English, nor the estateagent ! So did you use google translate.
No I sue franglais ! That's not a problem either ! It's really interesting because
you know you don't take any risk once both parties have signed the compromis de vente,
there is usually no problem.
How long after you signed the compromis de vente, did you move into your house ? 3 months,
well it's the same everywhere, it's normal.
What papers did you have to provide?
Because we are famous in France for the red tape = paperasserie , the administration !Is
it worth than in England, Australie or Switzerland?
No it's the same!
I'm really pleased to hear that.
It's the same , c'est la même chose.
When you work with lawyers = les avocats all over the world, you always have a lot of papes.
The love that, yes they loves papers.
Would you give any other advice to the compatriots who might want to buy a house in Saumur or
in Fontevraud l'Abbaye where you go for your classes with me?
To me, what matters the most is the state of the house, because a lot of the houses
for sale are in a terrible state, with a rotten roof and a lot of holes… so it's really
important.
Did you have an expert come round?
Of course, each time ! So an expert is not more expensive than in Switzerland , Australia
or Paris.
It's always more expensive in Switzerland . So it's essential to check the state of
the house, your house here is an old house with tuffeau walls as thick as 1 to 4 metres.
3 metres actually So there is no problem.
I also noticed earlier on that your heating is excellent.
Yes it is great.
You need check the heating facilities as well.
Some people buy places without central heating!
. Insulation, the roof, the heating, damp… electricity,, the plumbing and also the location
= l'emplacement which is the geographical situation.
Yes the location.
It's different for me because I think it's very important for me to live in the town
but other people much prefer living in the countryside.
Okay one last thing, before we finish this video, I'd like to insist on something Justin
mentioned . Don't choose a house in the middle of the countryside if you are a bit
elderly although you want to meet French people because imagine : you no longer need to go
to school or to work, you don't belong to any club, you don't have French friends
or acquaintances.
Okay you may be surrounded by lovely fields, but if you don't know anybody, it may be
a good idea to pick a house in the town centre.
Here it doesn't feel like being in the middle of the town center, it's still nice and
quiet and Justin has a cute little garden we are going to show you now, you will see,
it's a gem ! Okay let's get to the end of this video
in the garden.
It's the 31st of January, it's freezing and rainy.
So you have been living here for 6months, so obviously Justin hasn't had any chance
to sort out the garden yet… but look… what a cute little space in the heart of town
with the magnificent gable wall where Justin will spend lovely summer nights.
I hope so ! thanks so much Justin ! Well now we are back to my place in Fontevraud
and I wanted to give you a last piece of advice if you really wish to buy a house in France.
I think the main thing is to "'avoir le coup de foudre » experience love at first
sight, as Justin did and said, he had « un coup de cœu"r ! and if you get that, you
will manage to plough through the admin steps of the country where you have chosen to buy
a house . On top of that, as you can see now, it's important to visit your place in winter.
You may have seen my previous videos, usually my garden is lovely, but now there is absolutely
nothing in the garden, except the sun today.
So when you see your house in winter, you can just picture how fabulous it will look
like in the summer.
