France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.

Make an offer
Offers are usually verbal or via the estate agent (agent immobilier). Once accepted, the agent drafts the offer letter.

Preliminary contract setting price, conditions, and a 5–10% deposit held in escrow. Buyer has a 10-day statutory cooling-off period after signing.

Searches & conditions
Notaire runs title, planning, and mortgage searches; mortgage conditions (clause suspensive) typically allow 45 days to secure financing.
- 5

Registration
Notaire registers the sale at the Service de la Publicité Foncière and sends the buyer a certified copy (attestation) within weeks; the full deed follows in 2–6 months.
No residency requirement to buy. Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks. France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
