The French
Property Buyer's Guide
The
invaluable guide that nobody thinking of buying a French property should
ever be without...
When we bought our
French house I was confused by the process, mystified by the paperwork
and worried about my limited language skills.
Worse than that, I
was scared that any mistakes we made could end up being very, very
expensive!
To be honest with you though, profitable though it is, it's not
what we came here to do. We've got our own interests and the
business meant we were spending more and more time sorting things out
for other people and not doing our own thing. Rewarding work when you
see the smile on someone's face when they're getting the keys to their
new French home but, as I say, not what we came here to do.
The
thing is, you don't want to let people down, do you.
The solution? Well my wife said we should
write some instructions. That way we could help but wouldn't have to be
directly involved.
Conveniently you can order it now, online, and download it straight to
your computer. So there's no waiting for the mail and no delivery or
packing charge either.
But let's get down to a bit of detail. What's in
the book? It's only a small investment but you want to know what you'll
get for it, don't you.
The first thing we realized was that unless
you're very fortunate you won't have been able to spend a lot of
time in France. Perhaps you've been to Paris or holidayed on the
coast or up in the mountains but there's a big difference between
going somewhere on holiday and searching for a house.
Then you need to know where to look - online
and off - and how to sort the good from the bad. There are literally
tens of thousands of websites for French property, how do you know
which are honest?
Then you need to know how to arrange to see
the properties so you don't waste your time. It's no good going
hundreds or even thousands of miles and just turning up unannounced.
Then you need to know exactly how to make an
offer - and what you're getting yourself into when you do.
Then there's deposits, surveys, notaires,
inspections and all kinds of other things that can happen.
Then finally the purchase itself and a few
things you'll need to do right afterwards to make sure everything's
sorted out whether you need to return to your own country or you'll
be staying in France.
As a little extra bonus we've included some
useful websites, a couple of memory joggers and a very useful visit
report that you'll probably want to print out some copies of.
