France (FR) — civil law.
This wiki describes France only. It is not about United States practice and it is not about Argentine practice. Start at faux-amis.
Enchères immobilières en France
Start here
- faux-amis — what French practice is not. Read first.
- agent-guardrails — scope rules for any agent answering from this wiki.
The procedure
- saisie-immobiliere — architecture, from
commandementtoadjudication - monopole-avocat — you cannot bid yourself
- surenchere — the sale is not final on the day
Where the rules change
- alsace-moselle — a court-held land register and a different procedure
- outre-mer — including land that can never be seized at all
- carte-judiciaire — 168 courts, and the five that cross a département
The data
- dvf — every recorded sale price, except three territories
- publicite-fonciere — ownership, one property at a time
- licitor — where notices appear, and why none is complete
Status
This is the core. It is deliberately narrow and verified rather than broad
and plausible. Claims that have not been pinned to a primary source are marked
needs_verification in place — those markers are the honest state of the
research, not filler. The long tail (per-département pages, case law, the
notarial channel, the overseas collectivities in detail) is listed in
program.md.
