French property

If you’re buying or selling French property, we’ll help keep everything on track.

Buying a property in France?

For many of our clients, buying a house in France is a life-long dream. With Tees, you can be confident that it won’t become a nightmare. After all, it’s something you’ve worked hard towards and you want it to go smoothly. That’s where we can help. Our French law experts will keep the process straightforward and avoid complications! 

Why do I need a French avocat?

The French system is very different to the UK system, and there are different laws and processes in France which affect your transaction. They’re notoriously tricky to navigate, even if you have excellent French! You should also bare in mind that you might need to make a French will – our experts can advise if that is the case.

We’re here to help

Tees have been helping clients buy and sell French property for over 20 years. We’ve advised on the sale of every kind of property and we know the French system inside out. Our French avocat Hervé Blatry speaks both French and English fluently and has many years’ experience helping clients navigate the French legal system. Call us for a free and confidential discussion.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
