dickdastardly Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hello,Riginal question:::Can a person selling in France get the compis drawn up without the buyer being there so as to save time? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 [quote user="dickdarstadly"]I want to go to a Nortaire and ask him to prepare a Comprisnow even though I do not yet have a buyer. The idea being that when Ido find a buyer he or she will be able to go along to the Notaire withme and fill in their details etc.. Thus making the process a littlefaster.I realsie the Compris will need some fine tuning when we do have a buyer but can this be done?Thanks[/quote]Should you decide to go ahead, you should ask for a compromis de vente.

dickdastardly Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I Shall try again if that is OK: Please could anyone else tell me is it possible to have a Notaire put the ‘initial contract of sale’ together before a purchaser is found? Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosub Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I am a little confused, has your post been edited? It looks like Claire has answered your last post even before the question has been asked[8-)].Also on another thread you said that you had sold your property "I too just sold my house and in spite of having 5 Immobiliersshowing it on their websites (and doing nothing else!!) I managed tosell it myself with a little advert. I was willing to spend about £70for a web advert to (unlike imobiliers).My only worry was the Compris which I thoght the Immobilier drewup...." This would imply that you now know the ropes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in light of the comments made by Qillian (a Mod) on another thread seemed a bit odd... No real harm done I guessCrispy Dandruff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I still don't know if you can do what you propose though... Have you approached a notaire with your suggestion?Have a look at this site: http://www.notaires.fr/notaires/notaires.nsf/V_TC_PUB/ACHAT-VENTE-LOGEMENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosub Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well I am still 'kin confused, there appears to be lots of message editing going on, every time I look at the thread most of the post have changed from the original without any reference to being edited.

dickdastardly Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Sorry, I changed it back to the original question to clarify it for you. I did not know I had to mark the post as having been edited, in future I shall. The point is the same though. If it helps with your confusion. I posted a question about what I termed the 'Compris'. Of course it is not called that and Clair pointed this out to me. I was a bit narked that she did that and did not answer the question. I changed the question coz I was annoyed. I am sorry this confused you, I have changed it back so the sequence now makes more sence.As for selling the house. I have an agreement with buyer but they have not signed anything and that is why I asked the question herein. You no doubt will appreaciate how important it is to get this thing signed and I wanted to know if I could go, by myself to get the contract drawn up ready for signature. I was posting a simple question not completing an afadavid so was careless with the Term 'Sale'. My apologies if this confused you. That you infer something adverse from my posts or see some conflict is a matter for you. I certainly did not want you to be confused about my situation and your concern is touching.If I can help clarify maters further please let me know by PM and I shall respond.

Patf Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Dick - you could have the notaire draft a compromis de Vente, but you should give a copy to your buyer to study. They may want to add or subtract something from it before signing. eg put in some "clauses suspensives". Or a section about buying en tontine/aléatoire etc. It's meant to be a joint agreement, not just outlining the vendor's rules. That's my view, anyway, I might be wrong.

mint Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yes, of course, you go and get the draft compromis prepared and send it to the potential purchasers. They then read it through, add any clauses suspensives that they might wish to include, and return the document to you for amendment.You then need to agree to the terms of the clause suspensives. If you do, a compromis in its final state is drawn up. You sign this and send it to your buyers.They then sign it after which I believe they have 7 days to change their minds. Then, if there is a deposit to be paid, they arrange for the funds to go to the notaire handling your sale.Time then lapses whilst the various searches, etc are set in motion. When all is in order, you will be able to agree a mutually convenient time for the Acte de Vente to be signed in the notaire's office. You get the loot, the buyer gets the object of his dreams, the French government gets its taxes and the notaire gets his fees (hard-earned, of course!)C'est voila! All's well that ends well and everyone lives happily ever after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-D de Rouffignac Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 As they say in legal circle, a verbal promise (in this case to buy your property) is not worth the paper it's written on. No self-respecting agent would have let a potential purchaser return to the UK without them at least signing a written offer! At which point the property would normally be withdrawn from the market. As you have already been advised, best get that "compromis de vente" drawn up and signed as quickly as possible........
