In France, real estate transactions are strictly regulated by law, to ensure maximum protection for both parties and to avoid disputes after the transaction has been completed. For this reason, the completion of a real estate transaction goes through several stages, and requires the gathering of a certain number of documents and information, as well as the completion of certain actions by both parties.
As notaries have a monopoly on real estate transactions, the involvement of a lawyer is not necessary.
Nevertheless, the presence of a lawyer at the client’s side in a real estate transaction enables the client to confirm or deny his or her choice, to better present his or her arguments during negotiations and to secure the transaction.
