UK nationals buying a property in France, perhaps for the first time, are going to be faced with a variety of matters with which they are going to be unfamiliar.
Buying a property in France, selling a property in France or inheriting or bequeathing a property in France can be a minefield without specialist advice from Anglo French lawyers able to give you the correct and relevant legal advice on French law.
Barney & Co have been giving specialist French legal advice for many years to people who are buying a property in France and are in a position to assist you with all legal matters relating to your purchase or sale of French domestic property.
The first contract which the buyer is asked to sign, very often in the Estate Agents office, is more often than not drawn up by the estate agents who have no legal qualifications.
Because the estate agent's priority is to get a first contract signed by the buyers, there is a natural tendency for the Estate Agents to gloss over any problem areas there might be with regard to the property.
It is often a case of not what the contract says, but what it does not say!
If these additional areas are not covered in the first contract, the Notaire will not be obliged to look into them.
People buying a property in France do not generally have their own lawyer acting for the on the purchase.
This comes as a big surprise to UK nationals who are used to having their own lawyer acting for them when buying a property in the UK.
You need to be aware that the French Notaire (who is a French Government appointee) generally acts for both parties on the purchase of a property and in those circumstances does not technically actually act for or owe any duty towards either of the parties.
The Notaire does not fulfil the same role as a Solicitor does in England.
How you purchase the property can make a great difference as far as your ability to pass the property on to those to whom you able to pass it following the death of one of the owners and the amount of French inheritance tax which will be payable in that event.
This arises from the French legal rules which require an owner to pass a specified proportion of the property he or she owns in France to their own biological children.
These rules are very complicated and to explain them is beyond the scope of this brief explanation.
