  2. 11.2. Completion Date

  4. 11.4. Deed of Sale
  5. 11.5. Certificate of Purchase


11.5. Certificate of Purchase of French Property

When you have signed the deed of sale, you should ask the notaire for a certificate of purchase (called attestation), which you can use to gain access to public services for the property, and open a bank account etc if you have not already so.

Accordingly, the certificate can be presented to any of the public utility services to get a connection e.g. electricity, gas, phone.

At the time of signature, you should also be given a receipt for the money paid to the notaire for purchase of the property.

You should also later receive a copy of the deed of sale, together with a detailed statement of fees and costs.
