we can provide you with the expertise
When necessary, we will work together with Notaires and Avocats in France with whom we have developed strong relationships, to ensure that your transaction progresses as smoothly as possible.
We would also be pleased to work together with your already instructed Notaire or Avocat, and provide our expertise even when a transaction has been started without our involvement, especially if it allows a previously stuck matter to start progressing again.
In the case of a sale and purchase transaction, we would recommend that a single Notaire who is local to the property is instructed. Very often the estate agent will be able to recommend a local étude who will provide a good service. It is possible for the buyer and the seller to have their own Notaire (in which case they share the purchase fees, which are entirely paid for by the buyer), but we often find that it can slow down the transaction, and when we are involved and are providing you with independent legal advice, having your own Notaire is not necessary.
