Selling Property
When selling property in France, you go before the notary to conduct the formalities and official paperwork. The formalities will vary slightly according to the type of property sold. Checks may be required as to the presence of asbestos or termites. An accurate surface area check in compliance with the Carrez Law may also be required.
Before this step though, you will need to market your property and negotiate the sale in the best possible conditions. Some considerations are given below.
- How do you intend to market your to potential buyers, be they local, national or international?
- How do you choose the right agency(ies) that are better adapted to maximise the visibility of your property?
- How do you intend to negotiate the sale from a distance or given the potential complications of a foreign language?
- Do you require thorough explanations of the formalities and paperwork?
