Retained
English speaking French Notaires
Rather
than simply use the Owners' Notaire, it is perfectly feasible to
appoint your own Notaire to also act in any property transaction.
This can be reassuring and clearly, where the Notaire concerned
speaks English, this can help clients who have fairly low level
of French language skills to understand the transaction and usually
without there being any additional costs, as the normal Notaire's
fees (which are set by the French State) are then split between
your Notaire and the owner's Notaire.
We
have a working relationship with 3 English speaking firms of French
Notaires, which are detailed below . Please note that we, as
a company, do NOT receive any share of fees etc from these (or any
other Notaire) for business introduced to them - as this is strictly
forbidden by French Law.
Simon
Attey. Simon is the first, and as far as we are aware,
the only native English-speaking, English qualified Solicitor
working with a firm of Notaires in France. He is based at the gateway
to the Three Valleys in the Alps, but can represent clients throughout
France in relation to buying and selling properties in all categories
and all allied advices relating, with a unique understanding and
knowledge of both the UK and the French legal systems. To obtain
a free initial consultation and quotation please contact him mentioning
you obtained his details via the French Mortgage Connection website.
