the French real estate market is quite different from other European real estate markets. Negotiations between the selling and buying parties are normally handled by the real estate broker. All sales have to be verified by and in front of a French notary, who writes final "acte de vente".
The buyer will pay typically 6-7 per cent on top of the sales price for this service covering as well French state taxes as the notary's fee.
When buying in France you buy what you see. This means you cannot make any regrets when once bought and taken over - all questions and deals must be solved in advance by help of the real estate broker, the notary and/or your lawyer, if you choose so.
In France it is the real estate broker's job to assist both the seller and the buyer at the same time when negotiating and finalizing a sale.
