Buying, selling and owning a French property is a lot trickier than notaries and real estate agents could let you think
If you like challenges, do it alone. If you like safety, get someone to help you !
Are you a buyer ?
Even though the land registration system is secure, the notaries are doing mistakes, the real estate agents are not always the buyer's best friend, and the seller is not always aware of his obligations.
Remember that different real estate agents can be hired to sell the same property, with a different price, and sometimes in direct competition with the seller himself !
When a bunch of 300 pages of documents is sent to you by the agent or the notary telling you "everything is there", you should be certain to understand the whole content. The devil is in the details...
Moreover, you need to know how to deal with questions related to the furniture, the purchase taxes, the local taxes for the purchase year, the work which has been done the past years, the confirmation of section, the condominium fees, the servitudes, the ownership structure, how to pay the lowest price possible, who is paying the agent, which conditions you should put in the contract, the time aspect, the financing etc. etc.
Ask a property expert here. The assistance you will get is free of charge if you have purchased through the expert or if you haven't found the dream property yet.
