Hi Sharon, 

Apologise for the delay in replying but the last few days have been a blur!!! We spent the days after the viewing doing a ton of research from vets and dog walks to what car and fridge freezer we are going to buy!!

Just wanted to say thanks for all your help. There were no nasty surprises with the house which so often happens when estate agents are economical with the truth. In fact the only surprises we had were nice ones such as the building plot which is bigger than we thought and better suited to our plans.

I will definitely want to speak to the insurance man you recommended as I really won’t have the time to shop around and I need someone who can hunt me out a good deal. I will have a look at the currency exchange guy you recommend as well.

Many Thanks once again, Pete.

Pete is buying a lovely house in the Correze department of the Limousin with Cle France and seems to have had a nice time doing some shopping for a new French car and some white goods for his new house in France already! Good luck Pete.
