FRENCH PROPERTY FOR SALE
French property for sale, information on buying property in France. French estate agents that speak English, advice, tips and guidance when buying French property.
English speaking French estate agents and private vendors advertise the French property for sale advertised
through our internetwork. We have property for sale in the Dordogne, Normandy, Brittany, Loire valley, Limousin,
Burgundy, Midi-Pyrenees, Aquitaine, Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence.
However, before you go plunging in looking at all the bargains that are waiting to be snapped up - a few words of caution.
You are buying property in a foreign country in a foreign language with 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 have to work within very strict guidelines. There are
companies in the UK who charge excessive prices for services that estate agents provide in France that 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.
FRENCH PROPERTY 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 sorted out in principal.
- Estate agents will do everything they can to encourage you to buy a French property, that is what the vendor employs them to do. DO NOT let an estate agent bulldoze you into a sale.
- Take your time, 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 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). 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 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 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.
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.
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.

LINKING STRATEGIES: Those of you who are familiar with the film Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas may well remember the scene when all the slaves are captured. Crassus (Laurence Olivier) offers them their lives but a lifetime of continued slavery, if Spartacus gives himself up. As Kirk Douglas starts to rise to his feet, Antoninus (Tony Curtis) leaps to his feet and cries "I am Spartacus". One by one all the slaves stand and say "I am Spartacus". This scene was the inspiration behind the technology for Ego Sum Spartacus and our Spartacus pages. Because when you list your website on Spartacus, your are also advertising on a growing number of selected Spartacus pages hosted on other websites.
