Overview

How many of us can say that we have never dreamt of sitting outside some idyllic foreign property, sipping a glass of local wine as you watch the sun go down? Or coming in from a day of gently pottering about in the garden, only to wander down to the lovely little restaurant in the village for a delicious, home-cooked meal for less than the price of a lacklustre ready meal? Roger Kohn and his wife Heather have lived the dream; yet Roger warns us that, in practice, it can turn into a nightmare, with maintenance costs spiralling out of control and unforeseen problems rearing their ugly heads. And he should know: he has owned property in France since 1972, only recently deciding enough was enough! This fascinating book details how Roger made his first purchase abroad, later trading-up, and includes diary entries that chronicle the various highs and lows associated with his holidays spent in the Dordogne. While many potential pitfalls are highlighted and much very useful information provided, it may be that the reader will not be entirely persuaded to abandon their dream.
