Our recent move back to England happened as the world was beginning to understand the enormity of the Covid 19 pandemic. We left France within days of lockdown being introduced and arrived in UK just as lockdown started.
Many of the plans involving the sale of our French property had to be rearranged and adapted due to the circumstances. The most important being the final exchange of contracts which could only go ahead with the French Notaire acting as proxy for both ourselves and our buyer. However, before the exchange took place, our English buyer contracted Covid 19 and sadly passed away two weeks ago. We have since heard from the Notaire that the sale was therefore null and void and we have instructed our agents to relist Le Presbytere and hope and pray that a new buyer can be found soon.
Oh Maggie! First of all, I've followed so I'm "in!" What a challenging time to make your move and then the sadness of having the sale of your French home fall through for such a tragic reason. I'm glad to hear you are well and I look forward to learning more of your new home. There's no place like home!
ReplyDeleteAlso, did you do the banner art here? It's simply a beautiful painting and I really like it!
Looking forward to learning more about your UK home as you settle back in. It is fun to be with you at the start of a new chapter. I hope your last chapter's ending works out fine with the last minute edit.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, Amazing how quickly this virus can affect a person. I'm so sorry that the sale fell through. Looking forward to your posts from England. Have a great week. Sylvia D.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes on the sale of the Presbytere. So sad about the buyer.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! I'm catching up on your blog, and am sorry to read that your French home is still for sale. How sad that the English buyer died of Covid.
