As discussed in recent threads regarding stone wall connectivity and 20th-century heritage, I have finally completed the Technical Ledger for my property in Saint-Martin-l’Ars (86).
I’ve bypassed the usual agency fluff to provide a 8-page factual breakdown for those seeking a turnkey transition to rural France without the typical infrastructure headaches.
The Asset Highlights:
Digital: Active 2Gbps Fiber (FTTP) with sub 10ms latency,
If it’s the house on Leggetts I think it might be then you may have missed a trick focusing so much on the tech and not improving the kitchen or bathroom. So many may not see it as move in ready.
You probably also need to give more detail about the ‘registered’ building plot. For example, what does registered mean and does it have a Certificate of Urbanisme, and for what?
Never used to tire of telling my students that all technology is intermediate.
Fourteen years ago when we bought our house, the seller (who was an electrician) made a big thing about how there were co-axial TV sockets in every room. However, we don’t have a TV set, also today many younger people might not even know what these were used for (not that I can be arsed to explain).
Nevertheless, should any SFer wish to buy many metres of used co-axial cabling, I may be your man
The backbone is fiber. The house is optimized for high-speed mesh, but the central hallway terminal is positioned for maximum throughput. Full wiring specs are on page 4 of the Ledger.
Yes, it has a valid CU (Certificat d’Urbanisme). The Technical Ledger on the site contains the specific cadastral references and zoning data for those performing serious due diligence.
The kitchen and Italian shower are fully renovated and visible in the gallery. I chose not to emphasize them because, while they provide standard comfort, they don’t solve the structural or digital challenges of rural living—which is what my Ledger addresses. I’m looking for a buyer who reads the data before the décor.
Comparing 2Gbps symmetric fiber to 14-year-old coaxial is like comparing a well to running water. Technology isn’t intermediate when your livelihood depends on sub-10ms latency for remote work. This asset isn’t for everyone but for those who can’t afford a single minute of downtime.
Because you appear to have misunderstood my general point, I’ll repeat that all forms of technology are essentially intermediate. Some endure for millennia, whereas others become obsolete almost as soon as they appear. Also, today one might argue that in general, the more recent a technology, the greater the likelihood that it will be rapidly superseded.
Someone who requires that degree of reliability in his connection is going to look a bit silly if his router, lights, monitor etc. go dark because of a power cut.
Makes me wonder whether all the technobabble is just a smokescreen for someone using this forum to facilitate their business of refurbishing houses for profit without being straight enough to come right out and say so.
Also seems a bit strange to me that with all this talk of Technical Ledgers the property still has a E rating for both the DPE and the GES.
Perhaps we are looking at mutton dressed as lamb here.
We know that 86 is the departmental number for Vienne, but I wonder who the recent joiner to the forum (4 days ago) known as PP really is ? @billybutcher Any comments ?
