Buying a property requires preparation well before the first viewing: setting a budget, comparing finance options and assistance, knowing the purchase costs, then checking the property and leasehold documents before making an offer. This is followed by the preliminary contract, the cooling-off period, obtaining the mortgage and signing the deed at the notary’s office. This section details each stage and the points to check, with official sources, for buyers of flats or houses in Saint-Denis and neighbouring towns.

The expression “notary fees” refers to the sums generally paid by the buyer when purchasing property: taxes, disbursements and the notary’s remuneration. The nature of the duties and taxes varies depending on the transaction.
