How to buy property in Provence
Provence. The name itself resonates the sound of crickets in your ears! Provence is the land of lavender, the cradle of crickets and the theatre of breath-taking sunsets. In winter Provence retains a Mediterranean climate and the thermometer rarely goes lower than 10 degrees. It is the time of olive pressing, to make the worldwide known oil. In summer, it is an explosion of colours and flavours, between the fields of lavender, the tapenade to be enjoyed at any time, good, local wines, and the sun that warms the skin.

Acquiring a real estate property in Provence to a foreigner can seem to be insurmountable. However, a lot of second homes in the Vaucluse and in the Var belong to foreigners, (particularly to the British). French law does not make any distinction regarding nationality in the area of property purchase. It is the principal of free investment that allows foreigners to invest in French property.
Firstly, you must make a purchase offer. That is, in writing, to the seller, stipulating the price at which you would like to acquire the property. If the seller accepts your offer, you must wait seven days. It is the law. These seven days are a cooling-off period, in case you change your mind. After this time, you can no longer go back on your word. It is the same for the seller.
After this time, you will have the first meeting with a notary. During the first meeting you and the seller will sign a deed of sale and you must pay the notary costs as well as 10% of the price of the real estate property. Once the agreement has been signed, you must wait a minimum of three months.
The delay allows you to obtain a prospective mortgage loan, insurance for the property as well as potential signatures from the mayor of the municipality, (a lot of properties are graded, particularly in historical town centres).
Thereafter comes the pleasure, that is the property simply belongs to you. Well, of course you still have to pay what you owe for it! The meeting can be quite time-consuming, since the notary reviews the deed of sale before the seller and yourself, and yourself and the seller must initial each page of the deed.
Welcome to Provence! Or as one says locally Bèn-vengudo!
