Conformity of Delivery: The Test of “Convertible Attics”
When a seller undertakes to deliver a property including “convertible attics,” those attics must in fact be capable of being converted — without major structural works or disproportionate cost.
This new article published in Le Defrénois examines a recent decision of the French Cour de cassation (3rd Civil Chamber, 26 June 2025, No. 23-14.451) and analyses the scope of what can truly be regarded as “convertible” attics, as well as its impact on the seller’s obligation to deliver a property in conformity with the contractual terms.

Obligation to deliver and contractual provisions: a new illustration from case law
In a ruling dated 5 December 2024 (Civ. 3rd, No. 22-20.708), the Court of Cassation confirmed a broad interpretation of the seller’s obligation to deliver in accordance with the contract, holding that the classification of ‘access road’ could imply a legitimate expectation that it would be developed into a carriageway.
