agents chain AVIS, to provide you with the best service and largest choice of Brittany
Property for sale in English anywhere on the internet.
Why be Especially Careful to Choose a Fully Registered French Estate Agents?
Unlike in the UK, where just about anyone can open an estate agency and sell houses,
to open an “Agence Immobilier” in France and legally offer houses for
sale you must have specific qualifications, no criminal record, publish your tariffs,
have financial guarantees and insurances to protect clients. For your total peace
of mind, only using a registered Estate Agency with a Carte Professional number
should be your first and undeniably most important step in finding your property
in Brittany. Brittany-Properties.com is proud to be holders of CP number xxxx issued
in Dpt xxxx and we have a legal “accord”, or agreement, to deal on your
behalf with a select number of registered estate agencies in Brittany France –
Do not be reassured by other “Agents”, “Middle-men”, or
websites referring you to registered agents. Any of their promises will not be insurance
backed and they are unlikely to provide any true service for the fee you will be
paying. It could even be argued that in using these “middle men” “agents”
and even indirectly paying any sort of a commission, you are contravening French
Law. (The French estate agency legislation “loi Hoguet”) And when a
website insists that their “service” is free, treat this with the obvious
contempt this deserves – of course you are paying them – just be sure
you are getting some additional level of service for it, better still, find your
Brittany property with Brittany-properties.com and reassure yourselves that you
have made the best choice in Brittany, with a written service contract and guaranteed
value for money.
Buying Direct with the Notaires in Brittany? All sales of properties
in Brittany, as in all of France, have to be handled by a Notaire, and going direct
to a Notaire is said to save you money – but does it? Few Notaires have any
choice of interesting properties for sale in Brittany, and what they do have are
often the sort of properties a Real estate agent would walk away from and they do
still charge you an “agency” fee on a sale. It is rare that they will
negotiate the asking price for you, and rarer still that they will offer you much
of a pre or post purchase service in English. Also worth noting that there are reputedly
more Notaires in prison in France than estate agents! The French Notaires will also
often engage the services of a local “translator” to help you, but their
fee is also added to the final price you pay. Be very careful if buying a property
to renovate in Brittany with a Notaire too, there are some specific pitfalls to
avoid, and Brittany-properties.com will ensure you do so, whereas we have seen many
British buyers of property in Brittany come unfortunately unstuck. Don’t forget
– buying a property in Brittany with Brittany Properties.com gives you an
exceptional level of service and our lowest price guarantee, even for the same property
you may find in a Notaires anyway.
What do The Property Prices in Brittany-Properties.com include?
EVERYTHING! Unlike 99.9% of other Brittany property websites our prices include
everything you have to pay* including the Notaires legal fees and are the maximum
purchase prices for the Brittany propertys you see – before our experienced
negotiators have made an offer on your behalf for the properties you are interested
in. Don't forget, we work for the purchaser and not the sellers, so will always
seek out the best deal for you – beware websites offering prices FAI (Frais
d'Agence Inclus) as THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PRICE and will have to have other substantial
fees and disbursements added – be very suspicious of anyone trying to hide
the real price of your new property in Brittany. Don't forget – the fully
inclusive prices of property for sale on Brittany
properties.com also include our unbeatable assistance package
with the exclusive "Total Peace of Mind" Guarantee and including our "Lowest
Price" guarantee. You know where you are with
