Buying property in France is very different to the ‘chain’ process in the UK and other countries. In many ways, it’s a simpler system, but you need to watch out for pitfalls because once you’ve paid your deposit, you are committed to the purchase.
In France, the estate agent is usually paid by the seller not the buyer, so it’s good to have somebody on your side who knows what to look out for. We can find your dream property, handle all the paperwork and conduct the negotiations.
Our property specialist and trusted Notaires make sure all is correct each step of the way.
The French property market is notoriously private. We have access to many properties that never make it to public listings.
All legal documentation is in French with specific terminology. Our bilingual team makes sure you fully understand every step of the process.
No need to waste time on the phone scheduling visits, getting paperwork, searching...
We start with a consultation, where you can tell us the type of home you are looking for.
We begin the property search, keeping you updated regularly.
We send regular reports of places we think you’ll love, with translations of the property details.
When you see a property you like, we set up an appointment for you to inspect the property. If language is a problem, we can help via video telephone link. We can also accompany you in person or visit on your behalf, but this incurs an extra fee.
If you decide to buy, we advise on negotiations, arrange a condition report and handle all the administrative detail and notarial paperwork for you. We can also help you to open a French bank account or arrange financing.
We offer a complimentary 2-hour consultation with our financial advisor to look at your overall situation from a financial perspective taking into account personal taxation, inheritance, investments and related subjects.
