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.

    • What do you need a solicitor for? What advice do you/they need? Only the courts or the tenants can end a tenancy, the landlord can only require possession. If it is a section 21 that is a "no fault" eviction,  meaning the landlord simply wants their property back vacant. If it is a section 8 it means the landlord requires possession because of rent arrears or some other kind of breach of the tenancy agreement. If there is no notice then it is potentially an illegal eviction. TBH the council are probably likely to advise they stay put until the courts evict them, but that could result in them being allocated emergency accomodation - which could be outside of Southwark and possibly a hotel room or hostel.  As you will be very much aware council housing is rarer than hens teeth in inner London so I would advise this family not to pin thejr hopes on that, they would better off trying to find somewhere more stable to rent privately.
    • If the eviction is coming through an agent, it’s unlikely to be an illegal eviction in which case a solicitor would be an expensive waste of money. Southwark council’s  housing department   gives free advice/help to private tenants. 02075254113
