Buying a property in France
without an estate agent, it’s possible!

You want to buy a property in France, a house, a villa, or even a castle. But with agency fees of between 5 and 10% (hidden in the sale price) unnecessarily eating into your budget, your choices are more limited. Likewise, when selling a property these elevated agency fees can cripple your chances of a quick sale. However dealing directly with the owner or buyer is becoming easier. With independent experts guiding you through your search, negotiation and purchase it is a safe and economical option, as shown here in our example calculations. Even paying specialists to advise you through every stage of the transaction costs less than the average estate agent’s commission.
