Re: Official Documents for certified Translation

Seeing as the whole of my life story has already been told, I might as well add that my long time partner (now husband) formally adopted my adult children. And before anyone says that you can't adopt...

Re: Official Documents for certified Translation

OK, I give in, there is no point in going round in circles. This happens to be something that I know quite a bit about, and it is obviously different to what you have been told. It doesn't really...

Re: Is your home safe?

I have never locked my house or my car. Not a single incident to report. Even leave car unlocked while I am at work.

Re: Moving back to uk from France

As far as I am concerned, the value of the house is the value of the house, and has nothing to do with agents fees, notaires fees, cost of diagnostics or any other expense associated with the move. ...

Re: DIY or expert removals to France?

It is worth asking in the supermarket, they may save them for you. The best boxes are banana boxes, they are really stong and have very good well fitting lids. Not enormous but fine for small...

Re: Moving back to uk from France

We have just sold our house quickly and easily for the full asking price without the 'help' of an estate agent.

Re: s1 form

From what you have said, it is possible that you are unable to do this. Your S1 has never been registered in France and it is probably out of date by now. It is unlikely that you will be entitled to...
