Advice on buying French property
We are able to help clients with the buying or saling of existing 'off plan' and leaseback properties in France.
The aim of our French Property solicitors is to offer a proactive and efficient conveyancing service that ensures your purchase or sale of French property takes place as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
We can guide you through every detail of the transaction, providing advice on:
- preliminary contracts (compromis de vente, promesse de vente, reservation contract)
- location plans
- town planning provisions (urbanisme)
- Power of Attorney (procuration)
- property taxes: purchase, local, etc.
- final draft deed of sale (projet d'acte de vente)
- obtaining an official copy of the deed of sale after completion (expédition)
- commercial leases for leaseback properties (bail commercial)
- proof of ownership (atttestation de propriété)
Translation of French contracts is usually expensive and frequently inadequate and has even been known to lead to costly legal complications. Our legal and linguistic expertise provides us with the foundation to read the original French contractual documents, provide reports explaining the implications of French contracts and provide independent advice on your options going forward to complete your purchase and/or sale of property in France.
