Normally the property sales are handled by the one Notaire who acts impartially for both the seller and purchaser. You can have your own Notaire, or have an English speaking French legal specialist, this will obviously involve higher fees. A translation of the contract is not supplied and if you need one this is seen as your responsibility. Generally you can normally rely on the agent handling the sale to translate for you, or better still employ a translator. This will give you a complete and accurate undertstanding of the contract as you may well need to seek advice with regards to inheritance or capital gains tax. Remember once the sale is finalised it is often costly to rectify any mistakes occured initially !The Notaire will need all your personal details for the sale, contact details, professions, birth certificates, marriage certificates and if applicable divorce certificates and copies of passports There is a 7 day cooling off peried from when you receive a copy of the signed Compromis. During this time you can, without penalty, withdraw from the sale. The withdrawal must be made in writing to the Notaire within the 7 days. Be sure to check via the Plan Cadastral - available at the local Marie, as to exactly what parcels of land you are buying. A copy of the plan will be attached to the contract documentation. The notaire is responsible for conducting searches with regard to any public works that may affect the property, ie routing of motorway. He is not however able to conduct searches as to future planning applications or planning developments on nearby land which is privately owned. This needs to be done by yourself's by asking at the local Maire in the commune, before signing the Compromis. Here you can ask about future developements, planning applications or changes of use of nearby land. The final signing is completed at the Notaires office, this can be done by proxy by someone you legally nominate to do this. Newsflashes - Newsflash Mon, 09 Aug 2004 08:30:34 +0100
