Why the agent is not on your side
Only protects the seller's interests
Bear in mind the agent only protects the seller as paid by the latter through a sale success fee.
Doesn't disclose the property flaws
Flaws highlighted in property surveys won’t be reviewed with you for fear of a no-sale.
Has no interest reducing the property price
He gets paid on a percentage of the final price, so his commission would be therefore negatively impacted.
Inserts clauses against you in the contract
He legally only protects the seller by inserting clauses in the sales contract exclusively in his favour.
Doesn't explain your commitments
He won’t take time to explain your commitments at each stage of the process when signing.
Doesn't explain your rights of withdrawal
For fear of seeing you backtrack and therefore not getting paid through the sale success fee.

Don’t take our words for it
French Property Connection was a great support in helping me complete the legal side of my purchase in France. The legal advice provided at each stage of the process as well as documents translations enabled me to slowly move forward with confidence. I would never have expected a process that different from the one that applies in the UK and would have definitely been stuck without any help. Very much recommended to any non-resident looking for ownership in France!
