How does the property buying process differ in France to that in the UK?

So you are considering buying a property in France? you have come to the right place, you will need to be aware of the different steps in the French buying process, which is a little different to the way we buy property in the UK.

Visit the pages located under our "Buying Process" tab on the website and you will find a step by step guide, one of the main differences is that in France your are 'committed' to the purchase a lot earlier on in the process than you are used to in the UK.

It is also beneficial to get further advice along the way, perhaps on matters such as health cover, home insurance, mortgages and of course making sure your money stretches as far as possible when buying euros with your hard-earned GB Pound to buy your dream home in France with us.

Ben Amrany at FC Exchange is often asked about the best time to make your currency transfers when buying a property in France, as currency fluctuations can increase the price you pay when you eventually purchase. Because Ben has been working exclusively with Cle France for many years he understands the buying process and can provide guidance on the currency implications throughout.

The best type of service is one that comes highly recommended, that is why you should use the services of Ben Amrany at FC Exchange.

Q: How does the property buying process differ in France to that in the UK?

A: Buying a property in France is not a complicated process, if you speak fluent French (which we do so you are in safe hands) in many ways, it is clearer, safer and more straightforward in France than in the UK.

The main difference is that the sale of a property becomes contractual earlier on in the process in France when compared to the UK, this means when you find a property during your viewing trip and put in an offer that is accepted, you can return home safe in the knowledge that no one else will be in a position to buy it as once an offer is accepted the property is withdrawn from the market and no further clients will be shown the property.

On your return home we are busy working on your behalf and can advise on everything to do with buying a house in France and moving to France to live full time or just to enjoy your property as a holiday home. We have you covered at every stage, you are in safe hands.
