What Nice Homes offers English speakers in Nice
Nice Homes works from boulevard Lech Walesa in east Nice and covers a wide arc: Nice itself, then Villefranche, Beaulieu, Cap-d'Ail, Antibes, Cannes, Mougins and Roquefort-les-Pins. Its site runs in English, Italian, Spanish and Russian besides French, and it publishes its fee schedule, which is worth reading before you engage anyone. Buyers name Jenny for explaining the process step by step, telling them what rights they had at each stage, then helping them choose a local English-speaking notaire instead of leaving them to guess, which is one of the harder calls a first-time buyer here has to make.
One rule protects you right at the start. When you make an offre d'achat, a written offer to buy, nobody may ask you for money. Any payment demanded or accepted at that point makes the offer void under the Civil Code. The deposit, normally five to ten per cent, is paid only when the preliminary contract is signed, and it should not leave your hands before the ten-day withdrawal period has run out. An agency asking for a good-faith payment to hold a property for you is not following the law.
