French Residential Sale Contract Drafting
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I am in the process of selling an unoccupied residential property in France and need a French-qualified lawyer to help with the full sale contract (Compromis de Vente / Acte de Vente). The notary, who is acting for both parties, has already prepared a draft Promesse unilatérale de vente, not a normal Compromis de vente, and I am not happy with it. The document is due to be signed by way of a Power of Attorney on Tuesday 26 May 2026, but I want to arrange a delay until I am happy with the document.
The task covers:
• Reviewing and advising on the situation, and drafting a complete, compliant Compromis de Vente ready for signature by buyer and seller;
• Incorporating all mandatory French clauses, diagnostics, and local notarial requirements; the preliminary diagnostic report has been received and I am waiting for the full report;
• Two rounds of revisions after buyer’s review;
• Guidance on the signing sequence so that the notaire can proceed without delay.
All property documents, diagnostics, and identification papers are ready to share as soon as we start. My ideal timeline is to have a first draft within one week of engagement and a finalized version shortly thereafter. Fluency in French legal terminology and up-to-date knowledge of French real-estate law are essential.
