The legal checks every France property buyer should know
September 17 @ 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm BST
You’ve shortlisted a couple of areas, you’re thinking about booking a viewing trip and you’ve started to get serious. But you haven’t spoken to a French lawyer yet and you’re not entirely sure when you should – or what they actually do.
In this free, 30-minute webinar, an independent property lawyer specialising in French real estate will walk you through what legal groundwork buyers should have in place before they commit to a property in France.
You’ll come away knowing:
- What a French lawyer does and how their role differs from the notaire’s
- When to appoint a lawyer and why earlier is better than you might think
- What due diligence checks should be carried out before you make an offer
- The key contracts in the French buying process and what you’re agreeing to at each stage
- What to watch out for in a compromis de vente before you sign
- Common legal pitfalls that slow purchases down or catch buyers off guard
- How to verify that a property is legally sound before you travel to view it
There’ll also be time for your own questions.
