If you wish to purchase a property on the French Riviera, a preliminary sales agreement will be signed before a notary or under private signature. The purpose of this contract is to establish an agreement between the seller and the buyer on the conditions of sale. A period of approximately three months will then be allowed before the final deed of sale is signed at the notary’s office.

After signing the preliminary sales agreement, the buyer has ten days to study all the documents. This period allows the buyer to get information about the property with the help of all the documents that were attached at the time of the signing of the compromis. This will allow the buyer to decide if there are any circumstances that are not acceptable to him/her. In this case, the buyer can retract without any reason or financial penalty. Consequently, the immobilization indemnity will be returned to him by right. For a serene and secure sale of goods, do not hesitate to call upon Ange d’Azur.
