Article 2462 of the French Civil Code

The mere publication at the service responsible for land registration of deeds transferring ownership does not purge the mortgages established on the property.

The seller only transfers to the purchaser the ownership and rights that he himself had over the thing sold: he transfers them under the assignment of the same mortgages with which the thing sold was encumbered.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2462

La simple publication au service chargé de la publicité foncière des titres translatifs de propriété ne purge pas les hypothèques établies sur l’immeuble.

Le vendeur ne transmet à l’acquéreur que la propriété et les droits qu’il avait lui-même sur la chose vendue : il les transmet sous l’affectation des mêmes hypothèques dont la chose vendue était grevée.
