I mentioned a while ago about my request to buy the small, wooded, plot of land adjoining my garden and, after a 4 month wait got a reply in the affirmative at an agreed price.
Also on a visit to the local notaire on another matter he offered to contact the seller and take the deal forward.
I got an email yesterday from his office with 3 documents attached which all need filling in. Loads of detail about who I am, my marital status, the origin of the funds to pay for the land and lots of other stuff including details of my divorce, over 40 years ago.
I think I can understand 99% of it although am nervous about signing legal documents in a language other than my own without some assistance, but do I really have to go back that far for something nobody can have the slightest knowledge of?
I suppose I will just print off them all and take it easy without interruption, working my way through from beginning to end, and keep my fingers crossed. Is all this stuff comparatively recent? I certainly didnât have to go through it all when buying the house and shortly afterwards, the then next door plot, but I suppose our friendly estate agent filled it all in himself, and it was 30 odd years ago.
