    I love these real estate videos. It’s amazing how the high-end chateaus are so affordable, but to furnish them properly is very expensive.

      @nualarosth8448 Рік тому +9

      And to heating a chateau most be even more expensive

      Furnishing need not be expensive if you are savy and go to the a number of brocantes.

    Ryan! The second manor for 50,300 has your name all over it. It is beautiful and I love the large garden. I think this is the home for you.💖

    @totallydomestic433 Рік тому +23

    I would pick #2. Because of it is detached, has plenty of yard/garden & the view was really nice.
    It would be all yours too.
    It is a little plain but shutters could be added & some decorative touches would help.
    Thanks for showing us available properties in France.

  • @rmm3150
    @rmm3150 Рік тому +5

    No on #1 - not detached and too much mold/rot and remodeling needed. #3 is smaller and #4 is in someone else's building. So with these choices, #2 wins although I think you should keep looking.

    Agreeing with many others who have commented - like #2 best. Personally I would hate being so close to the street as some of the others were and with little or no garden. Hate apartment living - did it once and never again if I can possibly help it. I’m big on privacy and space. So definitely #2. I have to say I love hearing you speak French, even if if I don’t understand much of it. Can’t get over how you can sound so English and so French!

    • @thierrymilan2039

  • @GyurlTrini
    @GyurlTrini Рік тому +5

    Hey Ryan! Interesting! ... one thing I'd point out is in the first place you showed, some of those photo's seemed to show some mold & mildew on the walls, etc., which would suggest there is a leak somewhere. It might not be the roof, but, it could be, lets say, the windows or some other crack or something in an exterior wall.

    • @michellebyrom6551
      @michellebyrom6551 Рік тому

      Indeed. The stains behind the peeling wallpaper suggest damaged flashing on the chimney stack. Once fixed its fine. Freshly black lines there suggest it needs doing. White vinegar kills that mould.

    What a relief about your windscreen. Very happy for you. I’m not in with everyone else in the opinion about the houses. I think house 3 would be the best. It had no worn tiles or black mould. Houses 1 & 2 had those. House three looked the most sound. The 4th looked wonderful but I don’t think you want to live as close to people. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe.

    Great video, buying a property without a mortgage or loan is they way to go, especially in this day and age. Live within your means and you will have less stress in your life. Thanks for sharing what you've found, I really think the single house with property looks like it has potential to be a nice home and a good investment. Happy to hear your car will be fixed. Cheers until the next video.

    Glad your windshield is now sorted. Where I am, the windshield are a separate part of insurance. There's so much gravel cracks that finding a car without them is next to impossible.
    The little country house was my favourite.

  • @TheFiown
    @TheFiown Рік тому +2

    A couple I spoke with were negotiating the purchase of a chateau for 600K then discovered that the roof was shot and the estimate was 200K, the owners knowing this did not want to lower the price but the additional cost made the purchase unaffordable and once the chateau restored the total cost was more than the value of the chateau. You really have to love it or have a good solid plan for making it pay in order to make it viable.

    Hi Ryan, so happy you can get a new windscreen for just 100 euros instead of 700. Good job!!! I love watching your real estate videos. Number 2 property is the best for you. I know you want a garden, and that house could be forever. It amazes me how inexpensive many properties are in France. xx

    Your French is just amazing! How you can change from English to French I think is wonderful. Are you French? Hope you get your windscreen sorted out. Is there no way that the person who did it would pay for it? Love the properties you showed us, my favorite was the detached house, as you would have it all to yourself, and no problem with folk above or below you, as there could be in the apartment in the lovely Chateau, and no one either side to worry about, as in the terraced house. Also, it had a garden, which would be lovely. Blessings to you from a sunny (for one day only) Devon, England, and Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound. xxx

    @thierrymilan2039 Рік тому +2

    Ryan, just to say the ad didn't mention there is a kitchen, it written "espace cuisine", which is a kitchen area, basically the place where you can install the furniture and equipment. This is the modern little white wall you shown near the entrance of the flat. The number 2 looked very interesting, then need to be very suspicious about everything before engaging in serious papers.

    • @susiejakes3019
      @susiejakes3019 Рік тому

      In some European countries, especially Italy, owners would take their kitchens with them when they moved so that modern white wall in the flat is where you would install your kitchen appliances so those would be an added expense for someone buying this apartment.

    • @susiejakes3019
      @susiejakes3019 Рік тому

      Splitting the small 'chateau' into apartments was probably,y the only was to save it since its location doesn't seem very attractive. I love the design of its wallpaper. How many apartments are in this building? If it isn't well-managed, there could be problems with maintenance of the building's facade, interior and surrounding land. It's a NO from me for this apartment although I love the interior room that we were shown.

    I'm surprised they make you replace the whole windscreen. With all the glass epoxies on the market. I guess we are more relaxed here in the US. Because they fix the original glass "no problem" for stones hitting it, unless the crack goes across the whole window then it's replaced.

  • @hopegrable

    Hi Ryan! So happy to see you looking at more French properties. They are all very nice, but I am more partial to the adorable property #2. I much prefer the quiet countryside and the house could be so super cute with a little TLC. Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm also thrilled you're getting your windshield fixed at a much cheaper price. Less than a 100 euros is definitely a bargain compared to the nearly 800 euros you thought you'd be paying. What a relief, right?! Looking forward to your next video. Love ya lots, sweetie pie!!
