PROPERTY FOR SALE IN FRANCE - ADVICE
- Engage an English speaking Notaire from outset.
- Never sign any document without your Notaire explaining the document in full and the implications of signing the document.
- Ensure you have your mortgage or finances sorted out in principal.
- French estate agents will do everything they can to encourage you to buy a property. DO NOT let an estate agent bulldoze you into a sale.
- Stay and explore the area before deciding on the area in France that you wish to buy a property.
- Most vendors are just, if not more keen to sell than you are to buy, so always make an offer. (10%-20% less, depending on the asking price).
- Obtain all charges and additional costs in writing from the French estate agent.
- Obtain a report from a qualified surveyor. (Amazing how many people don't bother).
- Speak to the local tax office about local taxes.
- Introduce yourself to the local Mairie.
- If you are buying to let, speak to other owners in the area about the rental markets. Estate agents nearly always exaggerate the income potential. You can also ask for advice from the recognised experts in letting French property about marketing your holiday property.
- If you are buying an existing French rental business, make sure you see at least two years certified books.
- Obtain estimates from properly registered French builders and artisans for any building work before you sign anything. Failure to do so could lead to some nasty shocks including stiff fines if you employ someone working on the black, capital gains tax problems and lack of guarantees if you employ a non registered builder.
- Don't do anything that you would not do at home. You are buying in a foreign country, with different laws, a strange language and what may appear to be unusual customs. Use the links on this page to learn as much as you can before committing yourself to a property purchase.
- Try and travel mid week and out of season to keep the cost of your Ferry crossings and flights down to a minimum.
Most people buy property in France without any problems. Most people that you will deal with will be honest and trustworthy and prepared to assist and advise you in every way possible. However, it is not their job to educate you about French law and life in France, it is your job to research and educate yourself about the law when buying property in France.
Follow our advice, deal only with the French estate agents registered with us and you will find that buying a property in France will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.
The vast majority of French estate agents are honest, but it is their job to sell property and they are representing the vendor not you. Problems normally arise because the buyer was an idiot, ignored the laws, did not do their research and had their head stuck up their bottom, not because they were dealing with a crook. You should bear this in mind before plunging in without doing your homework.

Our featured property on this web site is KER MARJANNICK, PENMARCH, BRITTANY.
Finistere, France's most Northwest tip, is dominated by miles of rugged coastline, impressive towering cliffs, coves and tiny ports. Some of the more popular summer spots are the Crozon Peninsula and the Pointe de Raz. The infamous island of Ushant, the Ile d’Ouessant, lies out to the west and now forms part of the Armorique nature reserve. The boat trip takes approximately one hour, and once there, you can get around by bike or minibus. Solitude is never far away in the northern stretches beyond Brest or some of the lesser known fishing villages such as Le Conquet. The Parc Regional D’Armorique occupies much of central Finistere. Not far is Quimper and Pays Bigouden where crepes, cider, lace bonnets & Celtic song & dance is still part of everyday life.
