Legal service
When
you find a property you would like to buy, that is
the time you need our legal
service - once you sign a preliminary contract your
negotiating position is weaker. We can give you
immediate advice to enable you to sign in security and
we then guide
you through the legal and administrative process to
completion. We have established working relationships
with notaires in several regions and we use their expertise
to your benefit.
If
you have already signed an agreement and suddenly
realise you need help, we can pick up your file
quickly; your options may already have been
limited but we can help you to identify what
flexibility you still have.
Any property purchase is stressful. Buying in a
foreign jurisdiction, with unfamiliar laws and
procedures, and in a foreign language makes your
purchase potentially more stressful still. With experience of buying, living and working in France our
