العملية

1. 1

   Engage a Riviera advisor

   Your agent curates on- and off-market villas and represents you through to signing — the off-market layer is where Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Tropez trophies trade.

2. 2

   Offer & compromis de vente

   On agreement you sign a compromis (preliminary contract) with a deposit (commonly 5–10%); the buyer has a 10-day cooling-off right.

3. 3

   Notaire & due diligence

   The notaire runs title, surveys (DDT diagnostics), planning and charge checks over roughly 8–12 weeks.

4. 4

   Structuring & funds

   Decide on direct or SCI ownership, arrange financing, and budget the annual IFI wealth tax if net French real estate exceeds €1.3M.

5. 5

   Acte authentique

   The final deed is signed before the notaire; the balance, duties and fees settle and possession transfers.
