As with property purchases in the UK, French property insurance is an important part of the sales process and before the contract for your property purchase can be completed, your French agent will ask you for proof of insurance.
When selecting your insurance, it's really important to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions, which can be difficult if you don't speak the language.
