This is all new to me! <br> <br> The renovation is going fine considering that when we bought the house the only water coming in was from a single tap in the kitchen.<br> <br> Most estate agencies are run as franchises so these links are national links. Of course there are also independents but you'll need to search by area.<br> <br> http://www.centreimmo.com/<br> http://www.century21france.fr/<br> http://www.orpi.fr/ - we bought through these<br> http://www.visitimmo.fr/<br> http://www.logic-immo.com/ - most towns do a fortnightly magazine of this too.<br> <br> Also houses can be sold directly via a 'notaire' (solicitor).<br> <br> Just to warn you French estate agents are completely different to English ones and that doesn't necessarily mean an immrovement.<br> <br> A lot of really cheap houses are in the country where there is little employment. If you have any more questions just ask!<br> <br> Joanne<br> <br> <br> <br>
