COMPASS IMMOBILIER: Purchasing French Property - intermediary period

Stage 3:

The intermediary period

This is the period when the notaire will undertake his or her work in relation to the conveyancing process. This period only commences once the first contract has been finalised. The notaire is responsible for contacting the various administrative bodies to notify them of the sale, obtaining the necessary paperwork, commissioning the checks and searches etc.

The notaire will normally require copies of the following documents from you:
• birth certificate
• marriage and any divorce certificate(s)
• passport
• any other certificates that may be relevant e.g. death certificate of a late spouse.

Some notaires will require a translation of the original documents.
