Hi,

My wife and I currently live in Scotland and are planning to retire and buy a house in Montmorillon. 

Looking forward to using this forum.

Hello DougB welcome to Around Montmorillon.  

Good luck with the house hunting. This government site is great for finding out property that has recently sold in an area and for what price: https://app.dvf.etalab.gouv.fr/

Hi Doug, good luck with your search. It is a lovely area.

Hi Doug.
There's a website called Green Acres which has a lot of listings of private sales. Estate agent fees are much higher in France than the UK so many people prefer to bypass the agencies and sell/buy privately...

The best of luck with your search. If you need any local intel, I'm sure someone here will be able to help so please ask away!

Hi Brian
We finally had an offer accepted on a house. But not in Montmorillon - close by in Lussac-les-Châteaux.
So onwards and upwards from here. 
Regards 
Doug

Excellent - we'll be near-neighbours as I'm just along the road in Adriers. Our ever-helpful notaire is in Lussac - M. Robineaud.
Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly...

Welcome Doug

Good luck with your house purchase we are down the road Montmorillon and often visit Lussac. 
We found the whole buying process a lot less stressful than buying in England.
