Co-propriete

[Janb]

I have found a 12th century property in a hameau the Var which is a

'co-propriete'. Does anyone have any experience of buying a property

that is part of this legal structure?

We had an appartment in Manosque (04) Apes de Haute Provence (next dept

to the Var) which was co-propriete, since sold. The buying and

subsequent resale was pretty much the same as a house sale.

One is liable for a percentage of the annual running costs, based

usually on the size of ones place in relation to the overall size of

the co-proprite. Not sure how the hameau co propriete works,

unless it was a place that was "restored" by someone who then sold off

the "pieces" to other owners, keeping it as a co-proprite with rules

& regs etc.

Hopefully someone else may know more or why not ask a notaire to look at the regs before deciding ?
