Article 2454 of the French Civil Code

If the property is sold, the mortgage follows it into the hands of the third party purchaser.

The third-party purchaser is thus obliged, within the limit of the registrations, for the entire secured debt, in capital and interest, whatever the amount.

If it remains unpaid, the mortgagee may take legal action for the sale of the mortgaged property under the conditions set out in Book III of the code des procédures civiles d’exécution.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2454

En cas d’aliénation de l’immeuble, l’hypothèque le suit entre les mains du tiers acquéreur.


Le tiers acquéreur est ainsi obligé, dans la limite des inscriptions, à toute la dette garantie, en capital et intérêts, quel qu’en soit le montant.


S’il reste impayé, le créancier hypothécaire peut poursuivre en justice la vente de l’immeuble hypothéqué dans les conditions prévues par le livre III du code des procédures civiles d’exécution.
