Advertising relating to a sale,

This decision provides important insight into your real estate law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

Advertising relating to a sale, the valuation of movable property, the receipt of sale requisitions, purchase orders, and the settlement of sale costs exceed mere preparatory acts for public auction sales. Consequently, such activity, in the departments of Haut-Rhin, Bas-Rhin and Moselle, infringes the monopoly of the bailiffs and notaries of those departments in organising and conducting public auction sales, irrespective of the fact that a local ministerial officer conducted the sale.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
