its a second home? and the seller wasnt tax resident in france? whether or not there was capitals gains to pay this insurance covers whoever did the cap gains calculations in case in two years time the tresor public declares the calculation wrong.
Just asked OH over our break since she is selling part-time and she has never heard of this. That does not mean it is not a real (new) thing but she was very surprised that if it is she has not been told.
it's a con insurance, Carol, I've just sold and have sold many times here and have never heard of that! have worked in immo too and never heard of it being compulsory. Let's see if those currently working in immo here have another view/info!
