Administrative steps for property owners

Purchasing a property in France is an exciting milestone - but it often comes with a range of administrative steps that can be difficult to manage, particularly for international buyers unfamiliar with the French system. While the legal aspects are handled by the notaire, completing the transaction is rarely the end of the process. New owners frequently need to organise a number of administrative matters in the weeks that follow - and we are here to help with exactly that.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Administrative obligations after completion

  • Setting up electricity, water and internet contracts with French providers

  • Understanding property-related taxes and local charges

  • Communicating with local administrations on ownership matters

  • Organising documentation for accountants

  • Registering insurance policies for the property

  • Understanding ongoing administrative obligations linked to the property
