Q & A: BUYING OR RENTING IN FRANCE - FRENCH RIVIERA

The Nonexistent House

We helped Oliver, our dear client, purchase a lovely house in Nice. As always, we provided our best service and full assistance to ensure that the transaction was secure and stress-free.

Everything went smoothly—until we tried to transfer the electricity contract. That’s when we discovered that the house’s electricity meter was not registered with the electricity company. Not only that, but the address itself was also unknown! According to the electricity supplier, the house didn’t exist.

And so began a long and painful process between the electricity provider and the company responsible for installing a new, connected meter.

The full story would take too long to tell, but in short, it took us five months, dozens of phone calls, countless emails, and the resolution of multiple errors—including being mistakenly connected to the neighbor’s meter—to finally sort everything out.

In the end, we got it done. That’s the kind of assistance we provide—we never give up, and we always get results.

What we did, no other agency in the French Riviera and maybe in France would do.

So, if you’re planning to buy in the French Riviera, working with a Buyer’s Agent is the best option, and what we do is rare to find in France! Also, as you will see in the webinar we work with very efficient and qualitative partners like the panelists that will answer your questions!
