Purchase Or Sale By Foreigners Of Real Estate Located In France
Legal Area: Real Property Law
The opening of borders and the intensification of international economic relations lead to ever-increasing geographical mobility. Real estate transactions are not exempt from this phenomenon and increasingly involve an element of foreignness. Assuming that the property is located in France:
- What law will be applicable to the sales contract? French law, as the law of the place where the property is located, or the law of the country of nationality of the purchaser?
- What law will apply if the acquisition is not for real estate but for shares in a company that owns real estate?
- How can a real estate investment in France be structured?
