Building for sale in NERIS LES BAINS (03)

To obtain a mortgage, it is necessary to compile a loan application file with a bank or a credit institution. The conditions for granting a loan generally include a personal contribution, job stability, a reasonable debt-to-income ratio, and a good repayment capacity. It is advisable to compare offers from different institutions to get the best terms.

In addition to the purchase price of the property, several additional costs should be anticipated, such as notary fees (approximately 7 to 8% of the sale price for an older property), agent fees, loan application fees, insurance, as well as potential renovation or furnishing costs.

The difference between a sales agreement and a sales promise lies mainly in the commitment of the parties and the consequences in case of non-compliance with the terms of the contract.
Sales agreement: Strong mutual commitment between both parties. If one party withdraws, the other can demand the forced execution of the property sale.
Sales promise: Unilateral commitment from the seller. The buyer has the option to purchase or not, with a reservation fee in case of non-purchase.
