The risks of an unaccompanied remote purchase
Flattering photos versus reality, tired co-ownerships, noisy surroundings, ignored market prices: without eyes on the ground, the remote buyer decides on information filtered by others.
Buying remotely: how not to get it wrong without being there
An unaccompanied remote purchase piles up risks: misjudged properties, unknown neighbourhoods, files built blind. The good news: the whole process can be delegated, down to the signature.
What the finder handles for you
Viewings and video reports
Every retained property is visited, filmed, documented: you see what an on-the-ground buyer would see, without the trip.
Due diligence and negotiation
Surveys, co-ownership rules, charges, servitudes: everything is checked before the offer. Then the negotiation runs in your interest, with an average of 6% obtained off the asking price.
Power of attorney and notaire signature
The signature itself can happen by proxy: the notaire prepares, you sign remotely, the finder attends the measurements and key handovers.
Our markets for remote buyers
All our areas, from the Côte d’Azur to Brittany, can be hunted remotely: 30% of our clients are expatriates or internationals, and the search can be run entirely remotely to the final viewings.
Do I have to come at least once?
For the retained properties, generally yes: three viewings on average, not forty. Everything before that, monitoring, shortlisting, first filters, happens without you.
Can everything be signed remotely?
Yes: the offer, the preliminary contract and the deed can be signed by proxy. The finder prepares the ground and the notaire frames the signature.
You are not on site: that is precisely the case we handle most. Tell us where and what, we do the viewings for you.
