If your house has not been sold or mortgaged since December 1990, there is a chance it will not be

If you’re buying or selling French property, we’ll help keep everything on track.
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!
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.
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 just wanted to thank you for all your help in the purchase of our apartment. You and your team have made the process much more straight forward and knowing we had your knowledge and expertise behind us, has made our property purchase journey in France so much less stressful.
