3.3. L’Agence Nationale pour Information sur Logement (ANIL)

ANIL – L’Agence Nationale pour Information sur Logement – is the government housing information agency.

There are local offices of ANIL in all départements, staffed by civil servants whose responsibility it is to provide guidance and assistance to those seeking to buy, rent, refurbish or construct a property.

ANIL is also a useful source of advice in the event of a dispute with your architect or builder, although the quality of the advice is very variable.

You can find out the location of your nearest ANIL office by visiting ANIL
