Bricks and Mortar

While it may not be the strongest time for the global property market, we all still need a place to call home. Changes in your family life or career may mean it's time for a bigger or smaller house, a new town or even a different country! But like many things, this process requires a sequence of specific steps; the better prepared you are the more likely you are to get the right place at the right price.

Heading home

AngloINFO's INFOrmation Page on Buying a House or Property in France takes you through the steps involved: from the preparatory stages of the purchase and applying for a mortgage, to completion day. This handy document gives you the essential facts you need. As a buyer you should also be aware of the seller's obligations - have a look at the page on Diagnostic Survey Reports When Selling Property in France.

Of course, the process starts with finding the right property. In the Real Estate & Property category of The AngloFILE business directory you'll find English-speaking property search specialists (or house hunters) as well as estate agents knowledgeable about the region with  properties for sale.

If you're browsing the property market websites and magazines, you may need to know some of the local jargon and industry abbreviations in order to know what is being advertised. You can take a look at the French Real Estate Jargon page for help with this.
