French Property

If you are buying, selling, remortgaging or even inheriting a property in France, specialist legal advice is essential to avoid the inevitable problems arising out of a different legal system, different taxes, different inheritance laws and of course a different language!

Our French property department is headed by Guillaume Barlet, a French juriste who is fully qualified in French property law and fluent in English. The service includes liaison with the French notaire and French estate agent where necessary, explanation of procedures and key documents, protection of your interests and advice throughout, including practical issues such as currency exchange, taxation, planning and utilities.

Guillaume will be happy to have an initial brief consultation without obligation or charge - call him on 01242 261515 or email him on
