Paris

Yes. France places no restrictions on foreign ownership of residential property. Non-residents and foreign nationals can purchase property under the same conditions as French citizens. Whether you are buying a primary residence, a pied-à-terre, an investment property, or a second home, our team guides you through every step of the acquisition process, including legal, tax and financing considerations.

Once your offer is accepted, the transaction typically follows three main stages:

1. Signing of a preliminary agreement (Compromis de Vente or Promesse de Vente).
2. 10-day cooling-off period, during which the buyer may withdraw without penalty.
3. Completion before a Notaire, who oversees due diligence, secures the transfer of funds and registers the transfer of ownership through the signing of the Acte Authentique de Vente.

The entire process generally takes between 2 and 4 months, depending on financing, due diligence requirements and the complexity of the transaction. Our team coordinates every stage on your behalf, ensuring a seamless experience from property search to closing.

Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for:

• Notary fees and transfer taxes, typically around 7–8% of the purchase price for existing properties and approximately 2–3% for new-build properties.
• Annual property tax (Taxe Foncière), payable by the owner.
• Potential legal, financing or advisory costs depending on the transaction structure.

We provide a detailed cost estimate for every property so that you have full visibility on acquisition costs before making an offer.

For high-value acquisitions, we can also coordinate introductions to tax advisers, wealth managers and financing partners familiar with international buyers.
