Buying Off-Plan Property in France

Welcome to our comprehensive Guide to Buying Off-Plan Property in France.

In the guide we focus primarily on an examination of the main contract that is used for off-plan properties, called the Vente en l’état futur d’achèvement (VEFA) or Vente sur-plan.

The VEFA is a substantial contract that offers a great deal of protection to the buyer.

However, there are still commercial and legal traps for the unwary so you need to proceed with caution, and take independent professional advice.
