Note : buying in France
It is ususal practice in France for both the seller and buyer to be represented by the same notaire, and whilst the buyer is entitled to appoint their own notaire - they would then be responsible for notaire fees of both the seller and buyer.
Understanding viewing and buying in France
You can view and buy direct from the seller without the use of an Immobilier ( estate agent ), using this route you save on immobilier fees and only pay notaire fees.
Choosing to view through an immobilier you are obliged to buy the property and pay fees to the first immobilier with whom you viewed the property. Once you have viewed through an immobilier you cannot bypass and go to the seller direct. If this was to be the case - the buyer would still be obligated to pay the immobilier fees.
