An English couple will swap a large estate in Russia for a nice little house in the south of France or Spain. We have a 1 mile of a river front land (32 ha of land in total) and happy to swap it for something more manageable. It is only a 4 hour drive from St Petersburg! There are 4 small plots (1/4 acre each) on which the building is allowed ( planning permission granted). There is a small, unfinished, but fabulous log house (a chalet) of approx 90 m2 built. There is a spring water (well) and electricity on the land. You can still build 3 more houses on this part (two 15x12m two storey houses and one 7x15m one storey). Right next to it there is a 31 ha of beautiful agro-land with a Forrest behind. You can also purchase another 35 ha of land next to it. Lots of fish in a river, berries and mushrooms in the Forrest, freshest of air and enormous business possibilities! Will consider all sorts of offers, one never knows :) 

Has anybody got any guidance on where to register their property to comply with the new rental regulations ... or any help wold be appreciated ....

HI im throwing away some rubbish anyone know of a good skip hire company?

Morning all, Does anyone have experience of the Sierra Nevada ski resort? Just wondered if they offer a ski school for children? We would be looking to put our 7 year old in each morning and then we'd ski with him in the afternoon (provided his lessons are a success!!)  I can see info re: ice rink and creche facilities but I was thinking more along the lines of actual tuition for him. Also (sorry for all the questions) could anyone recommend where to stay? We have a place in Baviera Golf and were planning on driving up to the ski resort for five days or so. Thanks in anticipation, Angela

HI Does anyone know anything about this? I read an article in the Sur which said I have to register my property within three months or face fines... Anyone got any more info? How will this be enforced, does anyone know?

Hi. I need some help. I really would like to watch some Dutch programs online that I normally watch in the Netherlands. There is only one problem, when I visit the dutch webpages and I want to watch a video then I get a notification that it is not possible to watch it from this destination'(Spain). Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks. 

Hi there Im having real dificulty with a Philips FC 9321 vacuum cleaner I purchased from Carrefour in late November 2015. The box has been re-sealed badly i mentioned this to the Store Assitant who assured me it was ok. When I assembled the vacuum cleaner I could see that the grey button which is the release for the waste container was very stiff, I thought it was just becuase it was new.  I used it a couple of more times, each time the grey button seemed stiff.  We returned to the UK for an extended Christmas. On our return I used the vacuum cleaner again, this time unable to remove the canister...it was stuck. My partner returned the vacuum cleaner in its original box along with the receipt yesterday.  We have been told the Carrefour returns policy is 15 days, even though the vacuum cleaner is faulty!!! so it will be sent away "to be looked at" which will take a month!!! I have spoken with Philips es and they have confirmed that is the policy in Spain.  I am very disappointed and will not purchase electrical goods from Carrefour again!!  By the way the 2 year manufacturers warranty & our original receipt is null & void it seems!!  Has anyone else had this issue? thanks.

Hi all, We are currently living in Brittany, France and we are marketing our house - in which we have lived permanently for 5 years - due to imminent move back to the UK. We have loved life here, but feel the climate is too similar to the UK for it to actually feel like a holiday home once we have moved back, and we are putting out some feelers to see if there is anyone selling their house who may be interested in a permanent property swap/exchange. Our house is being marketed for 167,000 euros.
