French real estate buyers: Get Professional Work Estimates before you sign
When you buy a French property there is a good chance you will need to do some repairs right away and it is recommended you get professional work estimates of the cost before you sign any papers to buy the French property.
For example, if you are buying a property that contains asbestos (amiante in French) make sure you have a professional estimate on the cost of removal. It could be a lot more than you have budgeted for. Also, any electrical or other renovation work needs to have an estimate done before you buy so you are not guessing at the cost.
