The stages of the sale, from the compromise to the deed of purchase

What are the steps after signing the sales agreement?

From the signing of the sales agreement, there are several steps before the signing of the deed of sale at the notary's office:

  • After the 10-day period following the notification of the signature, the withdrawal period granted to the buyer ends, meaning they are definitively committed to the sale.
  • 45-60 days after the agreement, the buyer provides proof of the loan offer.
  • 70 days after signing the agreement, pre-emption rights, especially those granted to the municipality, end.
  • After these periods following the signing, the notary is able to prepare a draft deed, and the signing of the deed of sale at the notary can be envisaged if all documents are gathered, the buyer has obtained their loan, and the sale documents are drafted.

 

Steps of selling a property in Geneva

What is the success rate of a sale through a professional?

About 2/3 of French residential transactions are ultimately completed through a real estate agent.

Using a real estate agency for selling is motivated by time savings, transaction security, and a guarantee of accurate price evaluation.

The conversion rate of a sale through an agency is about 70% for all transactions combined.

 

And by selling on your own?

Private individuals carry out about 21% of French residential transactions. The conversion rate of a private sale is about 30% for all transactions combined.

What are the seller's obligations?

From the signing of the compromise and until the day of taking possession, THE PROPERTY sold remains under the care and possession of THE SELLER.

The latter commits to manage THE PROPERTY sold reasonably. Consequently, they are prohibited from even partially alienating this PROPERTY, mortgaging it, encumbering it with real and perpetual charges, granting personal rights over THE PROPERTY, and more generally from doing acts that could change its purpose, use, or nature, or likely to depreciate its value.

Similarly, THE SELLER is prohibited from dismantling any elements that are considered fixtures, including but not limited to the following items, assuming they exist:

  • mirrors sealed into the walls;
  • fireplaces and their inserts;
  • radiators;
  • plumbing fixtures, sanitary ware (sink, bathtub, toilet);
  • floor coverings, electrical sockets;
  • as well as doors and their handles.

Furthermore, THE SELLER commits until the day of taking possession:

  • to make no modifications to THE PROPERTY sold compared to its current state;
  • and to keep THE PROPERTY insured until the signing of the final deed of sale.
