French Riviera villa

Appel immo makes sellers and buyers get in contact for French Riviera apartments, villas and houses.


When moving to the french riviera villa you just bought, check that the living space claimed by the owner is correct. Take a tape measure with you and measure the lengths and widths of the rooms, not including any rooms where the floor-to-ceiling height is less than 1.8 metres.
You should be aware that since June 97 any undertaking to sell and subsequent final agreement concerning a lot in a co-owned property must state the surface area of the private part of the lot (the Carrez law). In the absence of this information you are entitled to initiate a nullity action within one month of signature of the agreement.

Also check the surface area of the land of the french riviera villa. Ask the owner if he has had the land marked out by a surveyor, and if so ask to see the surveyor's report and plan.
If the land has not been marked out - this is not obligatory - to make an initial check you can ask the land registration department at the department land tax centre.
This holds records of all acts of ownership and property division for tax purposes. But this is only preliminary proof : the land register has no legal weight in this respect, and the information listed can be contested by any other title to property.

Once you have definitely made up your mind to buy a villa on the french riviera, you can ask the owner to pay for a surveyor to define the exact boundary of the property, or offer to share the cost. You can also pay to have this done.
However, you should be aware that if your neighbour refuses to sign the report drawn up by the surveyor, the boundary will have no value in this respect. In this event you will have to take the matter to court to have the boundary settled legally.
