----Naturally, the legal process of buying a property in France is different to the United Kingdom.

----In France the legal side of the transaction is carried out by a public notary. This is roughly equivalent to our lawyers except that in France the "notaire" works for both the vendor and the seller with fees set down by the French Government.

----This reduces the amount of legal correspondence we are use to in the United Kingdom speeding up the whole process.

----We recommend that you also use a UK based solicitor who specialises in conveyancing in France. We have many excellent contacts we can introduce you to who will be able to go through the legal documents with you and make sure you are clear on all the details.

----And when it comes to the final signature, you can either sign yourself in France or sign a power of attorney in the UK.

At MGM french properties we try to make things easier and in a language that you will understand
