5 stages from search
to keys in hand
The French property buying process is different to the UK, US, and most countries. Understanding the stages, and what happens at each one, is how you avoid delays, surprises, and costly mistakes.
Search & Viewing Trip
Define your criteria, shortlist regions, and plan your trip to view properties efficiently.
Offer & Compromis
Make an offer, agree terms, and sign the compromis de vente, legally binding on both sides.
Mortgage & FX
Arrange financing and plan your currency transfer to protect against exchange rate movements.
Notaire & Checks
The notaire conducts due diligence, prepares the acte authentique, and manages the transfer.
Completion
Sign the final deed, pay the balance, and receive the keys. The property is yours.
Buy with confidence, not guesswork
For most buyers, the currency transfer for a French property purchase is one of the biggest financial decisions of the move. A poor rate or no forward strategy can add thousands to your costs. Ibanista provides personal currency support alongside the buying process.
