And the reason is that when you come to sell your house the buyer will see from the plans that the changes have not been registered, and maybe drop out of the purchase. Then, when you go to the town hall to admit you have to add the improvements to your plans, they fine you a percentage of the work undertaken. Windows are a particularly touchy subject, and just doing it because it wont cause any harm is probably not a good option!
Thats exactly it, when we come to sell the rooms will read differantly from the deeds, then coudl have all sorts of problems, so trying to get everything sorted and ofcourse we know we have to have reistered builders, plumbers and electricians, just wondered if anyone else was going through this who knows someone who speaks french to guide then through the form filling process, thanks
