Didier BUCHHOLZ - Notaire

Didier Buchholz is a Mougins notaire advising on property law, family law, and business law. The office explicitly states English, Italian, and German support, making it useful for international residents and second-home owners in the hills above Cannes.

Marriage contracts and inheritance tax are what clients most often came here for, alongside purchases, sales and the occasional correction to an act already signed. A fair share of the files involve agricultural land or a succession rather than a straightforward apartment. The office sits on Avenue du Maréchal Juin, open 9:00 to 18:00 on weekdays with Saturday morning by appointment only, and it has free client parking at the door and step-free access. Buchholz makes his language offer in the three languages themselves rather than listing them in French: "Parliamo italiano. We speak english. Wir sprechen Deutsch."

The record here is genuinely split and worth reading before you commit. Estate agents and clients with clean, quick files rate him at the top: appointments inside ten days, six transactions with a single agent in one year, and completions sooner than expected. Clients whose matters were more awkward report something else, repeatedly and in specific terms. Emails went unanswered for months, in one case a registered letter, and in another a sale took a full year to reach signature. Several of those clients eventually moved the file to a different notaire and say it was finished in weeks. Read that as a caution about pace rather than competence, and note the complaints cluster on the slower categories named above. If you go here, get every milestone date in writing and chase by phone rather than email.
