Also, it was never modern even though the house was built in 1990's. If we want a good price for the sale, we will have to spend a lot to fix it.

I guess people really value their living space. I do too, but I wouldn't have a pool built, a shed built, a patio, etc. <br /><br />Many houses and apartments are old in France, the potential for fixing stuff is pretty high. Not including stuff that "ne sont plus aux normes", like power or plumbing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
