Step one - Before you get involved, you may wish to profile the best solution regard to both legal and tax requirements matching your objectives.
JL Immo makes it possible; We plan a meeting with a lawyer or a Notaire, who will scan the solution that fits your objectives

Step two : La promesse de vente
It is a pre-contract that links you to the seller. You agree on the definition of the estate as well as on the price.
It takes place in the Notaire office, it starts the legal work of the Notaire, namely "Purge des hypothèques", and "Rédaction de l'acte authentique"

Step three : l'acte authentique
Now comes the signature of the contract; and payment of the price.
It takes an average three months between "promesse de vente" and "acte authentique"

Step four : you must get the contract from the Notaire office within the weeks that follow the signature of the "acte authentique"
