Who represents my interests when buying a property in France?
A Notaire will typically represent anyone looking to buy property, although his/her responsibilities are typically limited to valuations, mortgage arrangements and the conveyance of land. It is important to bear in mind that most French Notaires do not give advice; they are merely required to ensure a transaction complies with French Law. Therefore anyone looking to buy a property in France should make sure they are represented by a solicitor with a proven track record of managing property purchases in France.
