📋 Step-by-Step: How to Buy Property in France
1. Search the Market
You can browse listings online, but hiring a property hunter (chasseur immobilier) will give you access to off-market deals and help you navigate local regulations.
2. Make an Offer
Once you find a property, you can make an offer verbally or in writing. If accepted, the seller proceeds with a preliminary contract.
3. Sign the Compromis de Vente
This is the initial sales agreement, signed at the notaire’s office. You’ll pay a 5–10% deposit, and have a 10-day cooling-off period.
4. Final Signature (Acte de Vente)
Roughly 2–3 months later, the final deed is signed. Ownership is transferred once all legal and financial conditions are satisfied.
👉 All real estate transactions must be conducted through a French notaire.
💰 Can Foreigners Get a Mortgage in France?

- Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio usually 70% max
- Proof of income and assets in your home country
