French apartment for sale
Appel Immo provides a wide range of French properties, French villas
and French houses for sale by owner.
Take into account any monthly costs…
If you are buying a french apartment for sale in a co-owned property, find
out from the syndicate how much the shared costs are and how they are divided
up.
In any event you can also ask the vendor to provide a statement of - shared
and individual - costs for the last two years.
Don't forget to give some thought to heating bills: the cost will vary depending
on the quality of the insulation, the type of energy used and heating method
(shared or individual).
Assess what work will have to be done for a french apartment for sale.
If you are interested by a french apartment for sale in a co-owned property,
find out from the syndicate or owner what work has been carried out in the
last five years, and ask for the minutes of the general meetings and what
work is planned for the future. This will give you an idea of any investments
to which you will have to contribute.
As a general rule, any work already agreed at the co-owners' General Meeting
but not yet carried out, must be paid for by the former owner.
However, you will be liable to pay in two cases:
- if it has been approved but the cost for each co-owner has not already
been calculated.
- if a clause in the sale agreement states that the buyer will be liable
for all costs from the date of signature of the final deed of sale.
