When you buy an apartment in copropriété, you receive the building's file and a ten-day window to withdraw. I read that file from your side and trace every risk to the line it comes from, so you know what to ask before the window closes.
The compromis is signed. The syndic sends the procès-verbaux, the charges, the état daté, the diagnostics. Somewhere in those pages sit the voted travaux you will inherit, the fonds travaux that is too small, the procedure in progress, the charges that are about to rise.
Your notaire confirms the sale is legal. Your agent wants it done. Neither reads the file from your side, because neither answers to you. I do.
What the file hides, ranked, each with the euro exposure to your lot and the source line it rests on.
The likely cost to your share, from voted travaux to the ten-year plan, traced to the documents.
Exactly what to put to the syndic and the notaire while you still have the right to withdraw.
Where the file weighs, and the figures you can use to adjust the price or set conditions.
Letters to the syndic and notaire, ready to send under your own name, plus a second read after they answer.
Read in French, delivered in English or French. The source lines stay in French so you can check them.
Reads the words and returns a checklist, in French, with no one accountable for the judgement.
Reads it properly and bills accordingly. Thorough, slower, and priced for a dispute rather than a decision.
I read it from your side, verify every figure against the source myself, deliver in your language, and stay reachable through your window.

You receive the briefing within 48 to 72 hours, before your window closes. The decision stays with you.
An independent, owner-side reading of the copropriété file for an apartment you are about to buy on the Côte d'Azur or in Monaco. Before you sign, I read the procès-verbaux d'assemblée générale, the état daté, the charges and the diagnostics, and I give you a clear briefing of the risks, the figures and the questions to ask, with every point traced to the line in your own documents. From €450, delivered in 48 to 72 hours.
The three latest procès-verbaux d'AG, the règlement de copropriété, the état descriptif de division, the état daté or pré-état daté, the carnet d'entretien, the fonds travaux balance, the DTG or PPPT, and the full diagnostics including the DPE. Together they reveal voted travaux you will inherit, an underfunded fonds travaux, litigation in progress and charges about to rise. I read all of them from your side.
Yes. When you buy a home in France you have a ten-day rétractation window after the compromis, during which you can withdraw without penalty. The Acquisition Brief is built to fit inside that window, so you understand the file before it closes.
A document the syndic prepares for a sale that sets out the sums tied to the lot: the seller's arrears, the fonds travaux quote-part, and the appels de fonds in progress. I read it against the procès-verbaux to show what you would inherit and what the seller must clear.
It depends on the clause in the compromis de vente and on when each appel de fonds falls due. As a general rule, appels due before the transfer fall on the seller and later appels on the buyer, but the compromis can change this. I set out the figures and flag exactly what to confirm with your notaire.
Your notaire confirms the sale is legal and your agent wants it to close; neither reads the file from your side. An automated tool returns a checklist in French with no one accountable. I read the file myself, in your language, verify every figure against its source, and give you a verdict and the points to renegotiate.
Read is €450, Brief is €690 and Complete is €1,290, each delivered within 48 to 72 hours. Each additional lot in the same engagement is €350. Payment is upfront, in full, before I begin.
No. I provide an informational analysis of the copropriété documents to support your own decision. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for your notaire or a lawyer. The decision to proceed, renegotiate or withdraw is yours.
I analyse the copropriété file: the governance, the money, the legal documents. I do not assess the building's physical condition, which is the role of the diagnostics, and I do not value the price. This is an informational analysis prepared to support your own decision. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for your notaire or a lawyer. It is confidential to you, and the decision to proceed, renegotiate or withdraw is yours.
