Additionally, non-French buyers may find it hard to navigate the buying process if they don’t speak fluent French.
It’s smart to hire professionals who can help you with the buying process, including property agents, translators and financial professionals. From knowing the local property market to understanding documentation and getting the best exchange rate, there are a lot of specific considerations for foreign buyers.
How does the property buying process work in France?
The Var is an incredible place for buying property in France, but for expats, the buying process may be different from what you’re used to. Here’s an overview of what to expect once you’ve found a home you’d like to buy:
- Make an offer in writing, which will be presented to the seller.
- If the seller accepts your offer, both of you will sign the initial contract, called the Compromis de Vente. This is a legal document that includes details of the property and the sale. You’ll also pay the deposit around this time.
- Wait through the mandatory 10-day cooling-off period. During this time, you can change your mind about buying the home without paying a penalty or losing your deposit.
- The notaire will make arrangements for the conveyancing period, which lasts for approximately 10 to 12 weeks. During this time, the property will be inspected and documentation will be prepared.
- You and the owner will sign the Acte de Vente, which is the deed of sale, and you’ll make your final payment.
- Congratulations — you have a new home in The Var!
It’s always a good idea to work with an experienced property agent, as they’ll be able to guide you through the buying process from start to finish.
