Money
The time has come to finally sort out the money side of things. We are getting a mortgage from Credit Agricole, a local branch there is sorting out the details. I have to find lots of documents and send them to the bank. One intresting thing was that they might be able to do us a loan in Swiss Francs with a lower intrest rate than Euros. Not sure how the repayments work out but if it comes off it should save us a bundle.
First Post !!
This is the first post to this new blog. I have thought about this for a long time but never actually got round to doing something about it.
At some stage I will try to expalin the long story of how I got to where we are now. In the mean time I will say that a friend of mine, Rob, his wife, my wife and I all bought a piece of land in the French Ski resort of Morzine in the year 2000. It was our intention to build 2 chalets on this land, one each. Rob has at this time built his and is busy, when time permits fitting out the inside. My chalet should be built this year.
