SeaFrance Guide To Buying French Property
The best thing about SeaFrance Dover Calais is the ability to reach France both quickly and inexpensively. This means buying a second home in France is a real option these days for many. If you are thinking of buying a property, then here are a few tips for a more enjoyable experience.
There are some basic steps which will help would be buyers avoid some common pitfalls when buying a property in France. Perhaps the most important advice would be if possible, learn the language, because knowing how to speak French will automatically reduce the amount of complexity involved in what can be a complex transaction.
Learning a language of course is no easy task, and not everyone can do it, even if you are fluent in French, the paperwork involved in purchasing a property can be extremely confusing, and you probably won’t be able to understand what all of it means. In this case, the internet is the best tool for help. There are multiple websites that cater to offering legal advice for purchasers of property.
You could also hire what is known as a ‘Notaire’, which is a special kind of lawyer, whose sole responsibility will be to guide you through the process. If you do look to the internet for help, make sure you use a site that is not trying to push its own agenda.
Alternatively, you could hire a consultant/agent, or indeed an interpreter. Hiring someone in this capacity will certainly simplify the buying process, though it is an expensive option. The French legal system is quite different to that of the UK, and in particular with regard to such things as access rights, and which planning regulations must be followed. You should therefore carefully consider whether hiring a consultant is a necessity.
If you do end up hiring an agent, that person might well assume you are as in the know regarding local law as their French clients. The buying process is quite different, so it is worth taking the time to educate yourself, or hiring someone who speaks your language and does know about such matters.
In summary, when buying a property in France, don’t be afraid of asking questions, and make sure you understand the answers to those questions fully. If your agent does not understand your question properly, rephrase the question and keep asking it again, until you are sure he does understand.
