Buying in Nice from abroad
Buying in Nice from Turkey.
A buyer living in Turkey purchases in Nice under French law, before a French notary. La Gazette devotes two guides to this path: buying from Turkey, and the situation of the Turkish owner in Nice, visa and stay.
The guide in brief
A Turkish buyer acquires property in France under the same conditions as a resident: nationality does not come into it. The process follows the French procedure, offer, preliminary contract, cooling-off period, then authentic deed at the notary. The points to prepare from Turkey are the transfer and justification of funds, French taxation of the property, which the France-Turkey tax treaty governs to avoid double taxation, and the question of residence, which falls under a different law from that of ownership. A notary and a tax adviser should be consulted before committing, not afterwards.
