FAQ
Can non‑residents buy property in France?
Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase property in France. We guide you through key steps and introduce local specialists.
Do I need a French bank account?
A French bank account is often required for tax, utility and management purposes, and may be requested by lenders. We can introduce banking partners and brokers.
Will I work with a notaire?
Yes — the notaire (notary) is a public official who handles the sale formalities and registration. We coordinate with notaires on your behalf.
Are surveys/diagnostics required?
Certain diagnostics (energy performance DPE, asbestos, lead, termites, gas/electrical where applicable) are mandatory and are arranged during the compromis stage.
Can I get a mortgage as a non‑resident?
Many French and international lenders provide mortgages to non‑residents, subject to eligibility and documentation. We introduce mortgage brokers experienced with non‑resident applications.
Do you provide tax or legal advice?
No. We coordinate and introduce qualified French tax and legal advisors, but we do not provide legal or tax advice ourselves. You should obtain independent advice before completing a purchase.
