Residential property
Residential property is one of our areas of specialisation, whether for the purchase of a main residence or the development of a property strategy. Many investors find real estate to be a profitable and secure asset within their private wealth strategy. Indeed, residential property is proving to be a particularly stable asset class in today’s turbulent environment.
Purchasing a primary or secondary residence
With an experienced team of around ten people, La Wantzenau’s Notary’s Office assists with its expertise both private clients purchasing a main or second home and professional clients, such as property investors and developers, with their transactions in the residential property sector.
We assist our clients with the purchase of their primary residence – a significant milestone in their lives – as well as with their property investments, such as life annuity purchases, building plots for construction purposes, rental properties, etc.
Our market knowledge and expertise enable us to anticipate developments and provide the best possible advice to our private and business clients on their property strategies, regardless of how their assets are structured, the form of the planned ownership (real estate investment companies (société civile immobilière), split ownership, joint ownership, etc.), their nationality or tax residence or the tax-saving scheme they are seeking to implement.
Based on its local presence and network, La Wantzenau’s Notary’s Office is well-placed to bring sellers and buyers together or to arrange partnerships with trusted real estate agents.
We are involved from the initial valuation of the property onwards, facilitating negotiations between the parties and formalising the terms of the agreement through the appropriate notarial document (pre-contracts, sale agreements, mortgage deeds, leases, conversion of a building into a co-ownership, or the merger or division of a co-ownership), thereby ensuring, as required by our role as public officers, the legal certainty of our clients’ property transactions.


The residential property department of La Wantzenau’s Notary’s Office comprising a team of specialist staff thus covers a wide range of expertise in the real estate sector.
