We maybe putting an offer to buy in today on this little cottage. We went for a 2nd viewing yesterday. We will need to rip out the insides and make it FANTASTICAL.
Tough call my man, the cottage with the chapel is awesome but on the other hand the house is nice and buying a house now with the market the way it is means you could be quids in when it picks up in a few years time.
Plus when you buy a house you don't have to worry about fucking stuff up with fag burns...etc
me and juggers are toying with the idea of continuing to rent in the uk, buy in aix-en-provence/st maxime/st tropez, let other people pay off the mortgage and move there once my french is up to scratch.
