House in Gramat
Gramat, Occitanie
A large authentic stone farmhouse with charm, character features, newly fitted pool and very pretty stone barn.

With double glazing, recently refitted kitchen, high speed internet and recently installed heated pool the house combines modern convenience with exposed stone and beams, cantou fireplaces, and a long history. While the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, the principal works are in good order, making this an excellent opportunity to personalise a historic farmhouse in southwest France. The walled garden, with mature planting and fruit trees, runs behind the property. The stone barn, with three phase electricity, is the ideal space for a workshop or perhaps for conversion to additional accommodation (subject to permissions) and the newly installed salt water pool is heated. Surrounded by typical Lot villages particularly representative of the local architecture and character, the house is only 3 kilometres from a supermarket and town facilities.

What property checks and diagnostics are required when buying in France?
Most purchases in France include a seller “diagnostics” pack, commonly covering items like energy performance (DPE), lead/asbestos (where relevant by age), gas/electric safety (where relevant), natural/technological risks (ERP), and local requirements such as termites in certain zones. These reports inform you but don’t replace a deeper inspection—especially for older rural homes.
If you’re buying a character property, consider an independent surveyor to check structure, damp, roof condition, drainage, and renovation quality before you commit.
Can foreigners buy property in France?
Yes—foreigners can buy property in France with no general restrictions on non-residents.
The purchase is handled by a French notary (notaire), who verifies title, prepares the deed, collects taxes, and registers ownership. You’ll typically need valid ID, proof of funds, and (if financing) lender documents.
Most buyers sign a preliminary contract first, then complete at the notary a few months later. If you’re buying from abroad, you can often complete using a power of attorney arranged through the notary.
