I have just been given the date for going to sign Acte Authentique (only 5 weeks later than originally told, so not too bad I guess). The estate agent has told me by phone that I can write out a personal cheque (drawn on my Credit Agricole account) on the day I sign the final Act and this will be OK. This seems to go against everything one reads in these forums about people worrying whether their funds have arrived at the notaire prior to the signing day. Has anyone else paid for their house with a personal cheque on the day of signing the Acte Authentique.
