What you receive

When you buy an apartment on the French Riviera, the syndic hands you a stack of co-ownership documents: the PV d'assemblée générale, the pré-état daté, the fonds travaux, the diagnostics. On their own they say little. Here they become a clear picture of what you are actually buying, every cost tied to its source line, so you reach the signing calm and with real ground to negotiate the price. Read on your side, in time for your statutory window.

What changes the price

Three lines in the file can change the price.

Most buyers see the apartment first. The financial condition of the building sits in a separate stack of documents. The work is to make the consequences visible before you commit.

Travaux votés

A façade, roof, lift or waterproofing resolution may already be approved. Payment timing and contractual allocation still decide who carries the cost.

PV d'AG

The minutes reveal deferred works, recurring water ingress, disputes and arrears that never reach the listing.

Fonds travaux & PPPT

A healthy annual charge does not prove the building is funded for its next cycle of works.

Your blind spot

Three roles at the table. Only one reads the building for you.

The notaire
Secures the sale

Checks title and the regularity of the deed. Not the building's economics.

The agent
Moves it forward

Carries the deal to signing. Sale side, not risk side.

Your side · Acquisition Brief
Shows what it will cost you

Independent, on your side. Every cost in the file turned into a plain figure, in time to use it.

Your ten days

The window where everything is still decided.

Your 10-day window briefing delivered ≈ day 3
Day 0 · compromis Day 10 · deadline
Day 0

You sign the compromis

The cooling-off period opens. Nothing is fixed for you yet.

Days 1 to 10

You read the building

You hand the file over. It comes back in plain language within 48 to 72 hours, read entirely on your side.

Before the deadline

You decide

You sign, renegotiate or walk away. With the full picture in front of you.

What you gain

A position, not an impression.

01

You renegotiate with figures

Every committed euro becomes a dated, sourced argument, not a hunch the seller waves away.

02

You sign with no blind spot

What the building holds at 1, 5 and 10 years is set down in black and white, before the deadline.

03

You keep the decision

To buy, renegotiate or walk away stays your choice, made with full knowledge.
