Buying, Selling & Dealing with Property in France

Our French real estate lawyers have spent years becoming expert in the field of French property law, with its complex and arcane rules and practices.

For the many English-speakers who have made the decision to become property owners in France, it is vital to have an independent English-speaking lawyer to provide you with expert guidance on property conveyance, and so avoid the costly problems that can arise at a later date, due to issues with title and associated problems.
