If you are intending to buy French real estate you want to make sure you are not wasting your time looking at properties that do not correspond to the criteria you seek.
To avoid being fooled by an advertisement you need to use the following guidelines:
One
Make sure you know that modern camera tricks like panoramic ‘fish eye’ lens or ‘grand angle’ photos never give you a real clear image of how a property looks.
Two
Make sure you ask the agent or owner advertising the property the exact size of the property before you visit. Don’t be surprised if the property has not been measured and the advertisement is just an estimate.
Three
Make sure you know the location of the property. If he agent or owner will not give you he exact address and prefers to meet you ‘en route’ get them to at least give you a clear idea of the neighborhood by asking if there are main roads near by, a train track etc. So you don’t burn up your energy going to see a beautifully remodelled home by the highway, unless this is what you want.
