We’ll ensure that your viewing schedule makes the most of your visit and enables you to see a number of properties during your trip while staying safe during these exceptional times.
Putting your Offer Forward
When it comes to making an offer, this can be difficult if you don't speak French and don't understand the rules. This is where we and our agents and experts really come in our own; we’ll make your offer to the vendor and we’ll get the ball rolling for you.
How Much is the Deposit?
There's no deposit to pay until the compulsory searches have been completed and the 10 day cooling off period has expired, after you signed the compromis de vente. Only at this stage will you be asked (by the notaire) to pay the deposit, usually 10% of the total purchase amount, direct to him, inclusive of all legal fees and received in their escroc account in euros.
