Did I read somewhere that you now only need two thirds to agree to a sale?
We have a vested interest as we want to buy a small piece of their land and the ones that live here are agreed we can buy it.

Anyone with any knowledge on this subject?

Hi,
The 2/3 majority rule applies to various decisions regarding the management of a house in indivision, but not to the sale, which still requires unanimity.

( Art. 815-3 Code Civil ,as amended 01/01/2007. )
