Draft your offer with confidence.
The template covers every requirement under French law.
A note for international buyers
The French buying process differs markedly from the UK, the US and elsewhere.
In France, a purchase offer (offre d'achat) becomes a legally binding commitment the moment
the seller accepts it. There is no "subject to survey" clause and no easy withdrawal.
Home Select strongly recommends engaging a property hunter familiar with the local process.
What is a purchase offer?
A purchase offer (offre d'achat) is a written document in which a prospective buyer
sets out an intention to acquire a property at a stated price. It is the first
formal step in the process, before the preliminary contract (compromis de vente) is signed.
Important: a purchase offer legally binds the buyer
once the seller accepts it on the proposed terms. After acceptance, the buyer
cannot withdraw, save where a condition precedent (such as mortgage approval) is not satisfied.
What it must contain
Your offer must include the following:
Full identity of the purchaser (name, address, date and place of birth)
Precise description of the property (address, surface area, floor, lot number)
Proposed price, in figures and in words
Validity period of the offer (typically five to ten days)
Conditions precedent (mortgage approval, sale of an existing property, etc.)
Intended method of financing
Date and signature of the purchaser
