The enforcement judge who authorises the out-of-court sale sets the amount of the price below which the property may not be sold, taking into account the economic conditions of the market and, where applicable, the specific conditions of the sale.
The judge charges the costs of the proceedings at the request of the pursuing creditor.
He sets the date of the hearing at which the case will be recalled within a period that may not exceed four months.
At this hearing, the judge may only grant an extension of time if the claimant can provide evidence of a written commitment to purchase and to allow the deed of sale to be drawn up and concluded. This period may not exceed three months.
