"This webinar was well presented and clearly explained for those just starting in this area. I alrea..." Read moredy knew most of the material though so I would welcome another course going into a little more depth for example about droit de passage, urbanisme, servitudes, diagnostiques. More case studies of more depth and variety. Also I noticed a couple of pieces of information were slightly out of date such as payment methods and retractation periods. "
