Question: We have recently made an offer on a property in France. It is with a private seller. We have agreed with the seller that we will source the Notaire. Are you able to recommend an English speaking Notaire please. thanks, Frank.

Answer: Hi Frank, it is usually the vendor who nominates the notaire, and it is usually the same notaire they bought through which actually makes sense because he/she will have all the documents relating to the property on archive, 

If you want guidance on your purchase I would go for a bi-lingual solicitor to represent your interest.
