Got a place in Britanny. It cost bugger all and it was worth half of that even before the recent nonsense. Area is depopuated and there was already plenty of property for sale.


Couldn't give a cuss about the expats out there as they are all rabid. They hate France, do not assimilate, but hate what Britain has become, whatever that means. They still managed to bite the hand that feeds.


Should imagine that SW France is far more sophisticated in terms of oweners abroad.


I am far more concerned about the damage to the UK than my place in France.


Interesting that France seems to adopt much more protectionist policies than the UK including their builders. This ends up in higher prices for work, and then very poor English builders then offering to do it cash in hand. Careful of what you wish for UK builders!


PS I've had a few nice EDFers at my place, I love the area and France.

    • 🤣 re your mystic powers! Didn't want to just put a 🤣 on your post in case people thought I was laughing because the cat had been found!
    • Hopefully, they won't wash the changing room mats poolside in future so the filters won't be overworked keeping the water clean!!!
    • I agree with your sentiment, however you are mistaken about the Dulwich Estate. Their sole purpose is to make as much money as possible to give to the schools they support, as well as the almshouses and other historical buildings. They do not care about social housing (except subsidised housing for teachers of the schools), refreshing the area, low-rent studios, charming but affordable pub, etc. While they are a charity, their purpose is very constrained/focused and whatever they do with this site, it has to make money for them. It's not that they're being nasty or stingy, it's just what their statutes tell them they have to do. Note that I am not defending them, but knowing the above helps understand why they do what they do, even if sometimes it seems to go against the wishes of the local community. They are not answerable to the local community, and their only oversight is the charity commission and the courts. And of course, like all bureaucracies (esp those with limited oversight), they look after themselves very well.
