What first-time buyers need to know about French property law

May 21 @ 4:00 pm 4:30 pm BST

There’s a lot of paperwork between falling in love with a French property and actually owning it – and most of it will be in French. Unfamiliar terminology, a different system, professionals you’ve never dealt with before.

This free, 30-minute webinar cuts through the confusion. An expert lawyer from French law firm Tees will walk you through exactly how the French buying process works – in plain English.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

  • The role of the notaire and how the French legal system protects buyers
  • Key stages of the purchase process, from offer to completion
  • Important contracts, including the compromis de vente
  • Legal checks and due diligence carried out on the property
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid delays or unexpected costs

There’ll also be time for your own questions.
