There's no one living there at present. I must ask about ventilation. Thanks.

In France there is, in builds over the last 30 years, 24/7 electric ventilation in every space that has running water. I believe in my case, that this sucks the air in from other flats because if they have visitors that smoke I can smell it. Others don’t have this problem. Luckily not many people smoke so it doesn’t bother me.

Dodgy electrics? If the windows were open maybe their neighbours smoke and it had wafted in? They'd used the toaster just before you called?

We viewed an apartment today which was very nice although not perfect.
One problem was there was a strong smell of smoke. The guy showing us round said someone else had mentioned it too.
I couldn't see any evidence of smoking, blinds and paintwork were clean, which I thought was odd. Some of my family members smoke and there are telltale signs in their homes.
I'm wondering could this be a long term problem. Could anything else cause a smoky smell?
