Acheter ou vendre un bien immobilier en France

Read in English

Acheter ou vendre une propriété en France est pour beaucoup, une perspective très enthousiasmante. Le processus d’achat ou de vente d’une propriété en France n’est pas le même qu’au Royaume-Uni.

En tant qu’étude notariale, nous ne conseillons pas sur la transaction. Nous sommes néanmoins très compétents pour aider les acheteurs et les vendeurs du Royaume-Uni à organiser la certification des signatures de procurations dont ils peuvent avoir besoin.

La procuration française est un document dont nous avons particulièrement l’habitude. Nous traitons ce type de documents en recourant à un processus simplifié.

Les avocats et agents immobiliers de notre réseau nous envoient leurs clients pour faciliter l’établissement de leurs procurations.

Nous nous chargeons de la notarisation du document, de sa légalisation auprès du FCDO (Apostille) et enfin, du renvoi en France du document définitif par courrier express.

N’hésitez pas à nous appeler si vous avez des questions sur la procuration française.

Buying or Selling a Property in France

Lire en Française

Buying or selling a property in France is for many, a very exciting prospect.  The process to buy and sell properties in France is different to that in the UK.

As a firm of notaries, we do not advise on the transaction.  What we are good at is helping UK buyers and sellers arrange the witnessing of signatures on any Power of Attorney they may need.

A French Power of Attorney is a document we are very used to.  We have a streamlined process for dealing with this type of document.

We have a network of French lawyers and estate agents who refer clients to us, to facilitate their power of attorney being completed.

We undertake the notarisation of the document, the legalisation of the document with the FCDO (the Apostille) and finally the couriering of the finished document back to France.

If you have any queries about a French Power of Attorney, please feel free to call us.

Response from the owner:We are so grateful for the glowing review of our notarial service. Very pleased it met with your approval
A few months ago I had used Fatchett & Co. They helped me notarise and apostille stamp my wedding documents for Spain, they were thoroughly helpful from phone call to meeting in the offices, and helped me get what was needed for all my documents, which were sent back to Valencia quickly and safely. I am now a married man, with the help of their services being so smooth and efficient. I couldn't recommend them more, great service all around!
Response from the owner:We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us such a glowing review Sean. Glad that our notarial services helped everything go smoothly. Many congratulations on the wedding!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great review of our Notarial services Bianca
Trabajo muy rápido y eficiente. Lo recomiendo completamente.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review Irene, we are pleased that you were satisfied with our Notarial service
Excellent service. From my first contact with Stuart to arrange a Spanish POA they have been professional and friendly. They liaised with my Spanish solicitor so that all the paperwork was dealt with correctly and made the whole process much easier for me. They were tremendously helpful at all times. My meeting with Gareth to finalise the POA was arranged very quickly. Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Ann. We are so happy that you were satisfied with our notarial services.
I found the experience rather uncomfortable. Being cornered into providing personal details, only to be met with high-pressure tactics to sign up, felt disrespectful. I place great value on integrity—respecting someone’s time, money, and circumstances should come first. The approach felt opportunistic, as if anyone, regardless of situation, could be persuaded to part with money under false promise.

It struck me as cynical, almost as if the business felt entitled to customers’ resources rather than focused on genuinely assisting them. The irony is that I might have signed up and remained a loyal customer under different circumstances—but the lack of respect simply made that impossible.

Their lack off consideration looks very snobbish, and quite frankly rude.
Response from the owner:Marzena, thank you for taking the time to review our notarial services. When you came to our office you initially attempted to get our service at a significantly lower price than our advertised price. Our website clearly shows our simple document pricing which is what was discussed with you in our office. As a business we could not agree to this I'm afraid. We asked you for information about your requirements and took time to understand this, as we do with all our clients. We then went to great lengths to explain our service to you so that you would know it met your needs, and we gave you our costing for that, which was in line with our website published charges. At the end of this detailed and lengthy discussion, you proceeded to book an appointment for a time when you would have enough funds to go ahead with the notarial service. At this point you left our office, but then immediately proceeded to cancel the appointment you had made. While you may be unhappy with this, we followed our protocols, spent time talking with you and you made the informed decision not to proceed, which is disappointing.
The notary, Gareth, was very helpful in arranging to visit me in hospital to notarise my will at short notice. The extra fee for coming to me was not too onerous either.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the glowing review Douglas. We are happy to hear our notarial service met with your expectations
I was able to quickly book an appointment by email, and the appointment itself ran on time and was completed quickly.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review of our notarial service Alison. Pleased to hear that you were happy with this
Very professional helpful service, completed the process swiftly. Thank you very much!
Response from the owner:So pleased to hear you were happy with our Notarial service Maddie. You know where we are if you need anything further!
