| As
the estate agent has
a good knowledge of
the local market, he
is the right person
to talk to for someone
who wants to buy a flat.
He is informed on the
every day updates of
the local market transaction
and of the criteria
that influence the value
of the real estate which
makes him a privileged
adviser.
 Housing
profits
The article 10 of
the finance law of
2004 reforms the taxes
system of the housing
profits done by private
individuals, when
they sale buildings
or company property
shares. The reform
consists in relieving
the taxpayers of any
registration, by substituting
a proportional rate
of 16% and the social
taxes to the current
tax regime.
The notary is now
in charge of the setting
up of the registration,
and of the tax payment
for the buyer.
The
preliminary sale agreement
Buyer or seller often
think that the signing
of a pre-contract
–like the preliminary
sale agreement- is
not very important.
This is incorrect:
the sale compromise
is indeed a contract
which lead to important
legal obligations
on both parts.
The necessity of a
pre-contract is:
The deadline for
obtaining an updated
urbanism certificate,
without which the
selling is impossible
The uncertainty for
the buyer to be able
to obtain the financing
These 2 points are
the canceling conditions
of the pre-contract
According to the
French SRU law (law
issued in 13th December
2000 about the solidarity
et the urban renewal),
a retract right of
7 days exists for
every time of accommodations:
new or old.
