BQF Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The notaire handling the purchase of my house signed the Acte de Vente for me (as I couldn't be there in person). I have received an 'attestation of change of ownership' but have been told that the Final Acte will be sent later in the year......is this fairly standard if you give the notaire power of attorney?

Will Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 That is perfectly normal practice, even if you sign in person. It has nothing to do with the power of attorney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eslier Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 It is the norm even if you are there to sign yourself. The "Acte de Vente" will be more or less the same document as the Compromis de Vente that you already have a copy of. It can take quite a long while (9 months to a year is not uncommon) to receive the stamped copy of the AdeV which is what you get as "the deeds". In France you don't, sadly, get a bundle full of historic documents. Congratulations upon finalising your purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BQF Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Excellent - the time delay felt like a bit of a worry but glad it's all standard - thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
