Holiday home

[Output Flange]

The wife and I are starting to think a bit more seriously about a holiday home in France. I last looked into this a good three or four years ago, but have lost touch a bit with the changes in taxation etc since then.

Are there any good recent guides around that outline what's what these days?

One of the requirements of where we look is going to be the ability to work remotely, and so decent broadband is a must. What's the best way to work out which areas have decent connections?

TIA

Thanks both.

I think we're looking in the vicinity of Saumur, although that's yet to be finalised. The idea being that it's within reasonable striking distance of Blighty, has (slightly) better weather than we tend to here and there's plenty to do in the area.

Just to move away from broadband speeds for a moment, does anyone know of any all-encompassing guides that cover the costs (taxes etc) of a second home abroad?

Thanks, that's a kind offer. I think at the moment I don't know what I don't know!

I guess my first question is were to find the different taxation rates for the different areas - using Saumur as an example?
