Customer Reviews
For the serious DIY French home owner
Some books on renovation are helpful, but having leafed through most of them I can tell you that Renovating and Maintaining Your Home in France is a real 'one-stop wonder' and without a doubt is the best and most comprehensive book available about renovating French property with masses of diagrams and photos, technical words you will need to know, and a really wide-ranging coverage of likely problems. Well done Survival Books, you helped us to find a property with Buying a House in France, now let's see if you can do it up for us!
Best on the block!
Before you even set foot in France with a view to buying a property you must arm yourself with this book.
Being in the middle of my own restoration, I have read several books on this subject and this is the best by a mile. I only wish I'd come across it earlier.
It doesn't use valuable space on pretty colour pictures and is packed full of useful practical information,names and addresses of official French agencies and guides to relevant rules and regulations etc. Not a paragraph is wasted and it is written in a very clear, readable style.
This book is my 'bible' on the subject and I wouldn't be without it
Great Book but pity about the errors!
I agree with another reviewer, this is a gem of a book with a wealth of practical useable detailed information. My only beef is that the text refers to accompanying photos which are not included and there are some sloppy minor errors in the appendices, for example a list of departments misses off 31, 63 and 95 (this errors appears in the David Hampshire books as well).
