French properties for sale in France

There is different steps to follow when you buy a house in France.

When you buy a house in France, you need to be aware of the following points:

1. Having chosen the French property you wish to buy, you need to check that the boundaries of the land that the property is located on, are correct. We advise you not to sign any binding documents until a legal advisor has checked the property's land boundaries.

2. A "compromis de vente" is drawn up for the property to be sold. This is the first contract in the buying process and is often written in French.

3. The vendor who wants to sell his/her property will choose a "notaire" to gather key information about the property. The notaire will check the planning information on the property and declare outstanding mortgages or charges on the property. This helps ensure that the French property sales deal can be completed smoothly - reducing problems in the buying process.
