FRENCH PROPERTY - DIY'ers beware you don't get stung!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- A lot, and I mean a lot of you, are buying properties in France which need some level of work or extension, anything from basic modernisation to complete renovation. Some of you are even doing self-build new homes
If that is the case, then you need to be careful when it comes to an eventual resale of your property, as it can get very expensive, but only if you don’t plan ahead.
Watch this to find out how to avoid getting stung!

Excellent video Dan, informative with enough info for further self research 👍
Glad it was helpful!
If you look in Brittany, Burgundy, Charentes etc.... you find a lot of "British renovated" houses, locals tend to not buy them as most of the time the renovation work is purely cosmetic and the prices are inflated. It's nice doing things yourself, but if I have to rip off whatever you did to do water, electrics and isolation then I ain't paying for it.
My thoughts exactly.
This is so helpful. Thank you! 💐
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the information.We are hoping to buy soon and will be doing a lot of the work myself.
When looking at properties for renovation, it can sometimes be worth adding 10-20k to purchase budget (if you can) to get somewhere for full modernisation as opposed to ful renovation. So bear that in mind.
very helpful, thanks so much - also, quite the good video :)
I was given the same advice many years ago when I bought a place for renovation, so always used SIRET registered tradesmen. I was also told that if you don't have receipts for work done, you can't claim it to offset capital gains. DIY ers buy materials all the time, and time isn't charged, so no receipts and everything between the purchase price and the selling price is a capital gain. I;ve no idea if these rules still apply.
As a basic summary yes it is the same.
Questions: Who must prove that the DIY work in question was done 10 or more years before the sale of the house (or is it before the damage occurred??) if it comes to a court case because the current owner claims he or she suffered damages due to DIY work by the previous owner? As a DIYer (or current owner) how do I determine the date of the DIY work in question? If there exists a building permit, ok. But what if it was renovation work that didn't need a building permit? Furthermore, what happens if I buy a house and then do some DIY work on it myself and then suffer damages which may or may not be attributable to work by the previous owner? How is this sorted out? It appears to me that this is a law that has the potential to create very messy situations. And what happens if I am the next owner and I myself declare in the purchase contract that I accept the house as is and will not take recourse if I suffer damages due to previously done DIY work? In other words can the the buyer provide a legally binding waiver instead of the seller incorporating one in the sales contract?
WOW, 8 questions in one commentary ??? If I went into every case study possible in my videos they would last hours, the idea behind them is to let you know the law exist, so that you can research your actual situation in detail. As for proving the date, there is nothing written, and thus this can be turned around to the purchaser has to prove it was less than 10 years also. The French are great ones for outlining laws and leaving it to the discretion of the Judges. But rest assured, there are hundreds of sales that go through each year without décennale, nor dommage ouvrages and nothing ever comes of it.
@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists thanks for your reply! 😄
Good one, thanks!!
No problem
Dom Ouv, once only or every year?
are heirs liable too?
Very good question, to be honest I am not sure 100%, but I would guess no
Are UK NVQ qualifications recognised in France?
Hi Paul, As far as I know there is no mutual recognition agreement in place, saying that you can get them officially « recognised » but it all depends on what trade you are in.
@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists plumbing and electrical dan 👍🏿👍🏿 i would possibly think an upgrade to french rules and regulations 🙄🙄🙄 anything that pays someone your hard earned euros 😂😂😂🌎🏆🏴🏴🏴
@@paul_my_plumbs_uk Its not my field of expertise getting registered as a craftsman, but certainly the Electris over here are completely different to UK, and for the gas side of plumbing I am not sure of the safety obligations. It would of been easier if you were charpenter !!! ;)
@@TheFrenchPropertySpecialists it's something that i'm looking into when I cross the chanel to relocate 👍🏿👍🏿
@@paul_my_plumbs_uk I would suggest contacting the www.artisanat.fr/reseau-des-cma/les-missions-des-cma/cma-international
Good advice but annoying editing of amusing inserts
To each their own...
I very much DISLIKE the silly movie clips!
To each their own, I suppose.
I think they are fantastic and clever myself 👍
Agree we’re not 8 yrs old so annoying
1 or 2 additional clips..... fair enough but FFS every 30 seconds!! Its unwatchable. How old are you???
Well 53 when I made this video and I still have a sense of humour. My video style has moved on though, so check out my new channel @FrenchEstateAgent
@FrenchPropertyForSale Thanks.... its great information but.....
Interesting info but those inserted 'funny' intended scenes are very childish. Concentrate on the content. The rest is stupid crap.
We did a survey on that very subject and there here to stay… sorry
