French estate agents advertising property for sale in the
Limousin, Burgundy, Dordogne, Normandy, Brittany, Loire valley, Midi-Pyrenees, Aquitaine, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence.

makes your life much easier when looking for your ideal French property. Please take the time to explore this section of our website. You will find links to
properties for sale, advice, tips, information and guides on buying a property in France. It is extremely important that you
familiarise yourself with the French buying process to avoid expensive mistakes.
If you are buying a property to let, it is essential to speak to, who are, in our opinion the leading French holiday property experts
before you buy. France One Call are the longest established Internet site advertising French holiday property. They understand the market and can advise you on the type of property to buy, where to buy in France and the potential income potential.
Remember that you are dealing with French estate agents in a foreign country, with paperwork in a foreign language and laws that are designed to protect both the vendor and buyer. Please use the links on this page to research and gain a full comprehension of the buying process and read our guidelines on what to do and what not to do when buying a property.
French estates, unlike the UK are qualified and work within very strict legal guidelines. There are companies in the UK who charge excessive prices for services that French estate agents provide in France and are free and without obligation. Many people who use these services find out too late that they have parted with money that they didn't need to spend.
All our travel services are designed to save you money wherever possible, protect you from making any mistakes, advise
you of any pitfalls and help you maximise the income from your French investment property. With so many people
buying to let in France, the market is tougher than the estate agent may lead you to believe. Properties in good locations are always in demand but too many
people buy what they think is a quaint cottage but is not highly marketable. Seek advice.
FRENCH ESTATE AGENTS ADVICE
- Engage an English speaking Notaire from outset.
- Do not sign any document without your Notaire explaining the document in full and the implications of signing the document.
- Make sure you have your mortgage or finances are sorted out in principal.
- Estate agents will do everything they can to encourage you to buy a French property, which is what the vendor employs them to do. DO NOT let an estate agent bulldoze you into a sale.
- Take your time and take a few days to just look around the area. Location is more important in France than anywhere else.
- If you are thinking of living in France, visit in the winter when you see a property at its worse.
- Stay and explore the area before deciding on the area in France that you wish to buy a property.
- Most estate agents 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). Be prepared to negotiate and walk away if necessary.
- Obtain all charges and additional costs in writing from the estate agent. Legally registered estate agents do this as a matter of course.
- Obtain a report from a qualified surveyor. (Amazing how many people don't bother). Building costs are far higher than you would imagine.
- Speak to the local tax office about local taxes. Tax d'habitation and tax foncière.
- Introduce yourself to the local Mairie and tell them about your plans. Your local Mayor is a powerful ally and can be a good friend.
- If you are buying to let, speak to other owners in the area about the rental markets. Estate agents can 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 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.
- Restoring an old French property will cost you far more than you will think.
- 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.
- French bureaucracy ties even French people in knots, it can cause horrendous problems to non-French speaking people. Always seek advice and help from people who know and understand the system. This is money well spent.
The vast majority of people who buy property in France,
do so without any problems. Most people that you will deal with will be honest and hard working 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 French property.
Napoleonic inheritance laws can cause problems. It is not unusual for a farmer to have right of way to drive their tractor across your property, or have access rights to water from your well. Alternatively, you may find a property that can only be accessed through a right of way across someone else's property. Your Notaire should highlight all these problems if they exist.
The vast majority of French estate agents are honest and open, but it is their job to sell properties 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 backside, not because they were dealing with a crook. You should bear this in mind before plunging in without doing your homework.

When buying a French property please follow this advice. Too many people run into problems when buying French property because they have not done enough research, don't understand the language, don't know the laws and basically, leave their brains behind and throw commonsense to the wind when they find their dream French property. The temptation to throw caution to the wind or risk losing the property is powerful. STOP and think about how you would proceed if you were at home.
