Not all our listings are publicly available on our website, some vendors prefer us to discreetly place their properties with our database of buyers.
If, having spoken with our team, we still don’t have a suitable property then you can give us a mandat de recherche.
This costs you nothing and allows us to scour the local market on your behalf – including properties listed for sale privately or with other agencies.
We have found that this is an increasingly popular tool in a buyer’s armoury, as well-positioned property for sale in the resorts has been difficult
to find - particularly for international buyers who are not present in the Alps.
We search to a tightly honed criteria, the better the brief the more chance of success.
Buyers are protected by the same French real estate laws (Hoquet and Alur) and fees are always outlined in writing before the search begins, they are also
only payable if the search is successful, and the Notarial deeds are signed.
The mandate is usually exclusive to Leggett and will include:
- · The identity of both the buyer and the estate agency
- · A description of the property sought
- · The price range of your search
- · The agreed fees
- · The duration of the mandate
