Buying Property in France - Seeking Informative Websites or Forum

Options
Hi doing some homework on this subject and wondered if anyone had come across a really authoritative website or forum which focuses on the financial and legal aspects, rather than being sections of a real estate agent site. Thanks

  • There are many YouTube channels by people who’ve bought (often huge and dilapidated) properties in France and are doing them up.   Some of these channels may also have videos discussing the legal aspects.
