While on the subject, sometimes a buyer takes for granted that he can enter the property for which he has signed a first agreement. In fact the buyer has no such rights as the property belongs to the vendor until the final contract has been signed. Any access allowed by the vendor is as a favour and in France favours are thanked for and not abused.
