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
