How does the property buying process work in France?
France is a popular location for people looking to invest in overseas property either to start a new life in France or as a holiday home. The property buying process is France is different from many countries as it adopts a regulated property purchase process which for first-time buyers can be a little confusing.
For more information, see our French property buyers guide for more details but here is a more succinct guide to the basic process:
- The first step is to present a written offer to the property owner who will then respond.
- Once the offer as been agreed, you will sign the Compromis de Vente. This is a legal document detailing the property and the sale. (This isn’t the deed and doesn’t formalise the sale yet.)
- Next, there is a 10-day cooling-off period, during which you can back out of the purchase penalty-free.
- You will be required to make a deposit payment, typically between 5% and 10% of the purchase price, during the cooling-off period. If you decide to pull out of your decision within this period, your deposit will be returned.
- The conveyance process, managed by the notaire, will take approximately 10 to 12 weeks. During this time, the property undergoes various inspections and the necessary documentation is prepared.
- To finalise the purchase, you will need to make the full payment and sign the deed of sale, known as the Acte de Vente.
- Once this has been completed you will become the new owners of a new home in France.
We highly recommend working closely with a buyers agent who will be able to work with you and guide you through the process from start to finish. This is especially important for overseas buyers and the agent will work on your behalf. For non-French speakers, it is advisable to hire the services of a translator to ensure you fully understand what documents you are signing and what they mean.
