- This is a legally binding document that confirms that the seller must sell the property to the buyer.

- The seller must also provide the buyer an accurate floor plan of the apartment or house.
- All sales in France are conducted with notaries. Both the buyer and seller has his own notary and they confirm that all aspects of the sale are done according to law.
- If you are buying a condominium, there will be a set of rules that govern the building.
