Guide to Selling Property in France

Welcome to our guide to selling French property.

Although the guide has been written primarily for those selling their French property, it will also be of use to buyers.

Perhaps the most important part of the whole process is the engagement of an estate agent, so we consider this aspect in some detail.

There are also important statutory disclosure responsibilities imposed on sellers that we consider in the guide.

We also review the important surveys that now need to be arranged, the contract process, and capital gains tax rules that apply.

This is a complementary guide to our Guide to Buying Property in France.
