Property/Gites Search Facility HELP
========================
1) You can search for properties as follows, in any combination:-
- Price range, REGION/Dept, minimum land area - select parameters from the drop down menus;
- Type of property (All Properties Search only) - you can tick more than one type, or none to display all types;
- Scope of property - you can tick more than one scope, or none to display all scopes.
2) Most of the property types are self explanatory, but the following clarification may help:-
Country House means a house in the country or in a hamlet, not covered by any of the other property types such as Chateau or Farmhouse;
Barn/Outbuildings means a stand-alone barn or a property with a barn and/or other outbuildings.
3) The definitions of scope are as follows:-
Renovated/New - refers to the main dwelling, so there could be additional outbuildings to restore/develop;
Part renovated - refers to the main dwelling, so there could be additional outbuildings requiring complete renovation;
Habitable - the main dwelling has all basic amenities (power, water, sewage), but needs (some) renovation and/or modernisation;
Full renovation required - the main dwelling is not habitable and requires complete renovation;
Development potential - the property can be further developed (e.g. attic conversion, outbuildings conversion, etc.);
Business potential - the property could be run as a business (e.g. Gite Complex or B&B);
Existing business - the property is currently run as a business.
