French property advice.

[blueST]

Hopefully I won't fall foul of any cross-posting regs with this. I have posted this in the finance section http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I just wondered if any of you out in France have been involved in a similar property situation and you can offer any advice to me? I mainly want to make sure I go into this with my eyes wide open, don't want any nasty financial surprises.
