At this time in France when you wish to purchase a French property it is important for you to know that you have a choice over the notary you work with. But it will not be your notary who prepares the compromis de vente.
In fact, even though you as the buyer are paying all the fees for the notaries involved it is the notary who was chosen by the seller who prepares the first draft of the compromis de vente.
This is because the seller’s notary will typically have all the documentation on file to create the original draft of the compromis de vente.
You can confirm that this is still the current guideline by visiting the english section of the Notary of France website here.
