What to watch in Dordogne

Not connected to the sewer? An inspection of the private sewage system is part of the mandatory diagnostics — plan it early.
Selling with a lot of land? Rural land can be subject to a pre-emption right; the notaire checks this.
Barns and outbuildings converted to living space should match the planning permits.
Many buyers here come from the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK: advertise in their languages too.

How does a sale in France work?

Buyer and seller sign a preliminary contract (compromis or promesse de vente), usually at a notaire. The buyer then has a legal cooling-off period. A few months later the sale is completed with the final deed (acte authentique) at the notaire.
