This introduction guide offers an outline of some legal implications of buying or disposing of residential property in France. It also identifies some of the main pitfalls to avoid. A few English guides are published on this subject, but none are comprehensive, or necessarily correct or up-to-date. Every care has been taken in the preparation of this guide, but you should in all cases approach your French purchase with caution and seek comprehensive legal advice at the earliest stages from an independent bilingual solicitor qualified to practise French Law. No liability will be accepted for the consequences of failure to do so. In many ways, the French purchase process affords a certain amount of protection to the buyer. French law is well endowed with Consumer Protection Laws: the process of buying a house in France is very structured and regulated. These laws are strictly enforced but there is however a small number of unprincipled agents and vendors who take advantage of the differences in language, culture, law and ethics. It is therefore advisable to instruct your own lawyer to guide you through the purchase or sale process and protect your interests.The full article can be found here: http://www.solicitor.fr Click on "Guide" at the end of the page.
