Two tenants in a shared rental, a landlord and their agent, a joint guarantor: Certyneo orchestrates all signatories (in series or in parallel) with automatic reminders.
In real estate, the time lost between a property offer and the actual signing represents a direct loss of earnings: withdrawals, lettings that unravel, compromises that drag on. According to sector studies, electronic signature enables:

Electronic signature in real estate is part of a precise legal framework. Certyneo covers all applicable regulations.
The ALUR law (2014) and its implementing decrees govern the content of the lease and annexes (EPC, risk statement, information notice). All mandatory documents can be combined in the same Certyneo envelope for simultaneous signature.
The ELAN law explicitly recognised the validity of electronic private deeds in real estate matters and encouraged the digitalisation of rental relationships. Certyneo enables the entire lease lifecycle (signature, amendments, renewal, termination).
For the compromise of sale of a residential property, the 10-day withdrawal period (article L271-1 of the CCH) runs from the first presentation of the signed deed. Certyneo time-stamps this date precisely and exports proof in the event of dispute.
Hoguet law requires mandates to be kept for 10 years. Our plans include this archiving with probative value by default. Article 1367 of the French Civil Code recognises electronic signature as equivalent to manuscript signature.
Yes, without ambiguity. The ELAN law (2018) explicitly confirmed the validity of leases in electronic form, and article 1367 of the French Civil Code recognises electronic signature as equivalent to manuscript signature. Mandatory annexes (DPE, risk assessment, notice) can also be signed electronically.
Certyneo precisely time-stamps the date of signature of the purchase agreement by both parties. The 10-calendar-day period (article L271-1 of the French Property Code) runs from this date. You can export at any time the signature certificate with qualified time-stamping to prove the start date of the period.
Yes. French case law accepts that the handwritten notes provided for in article 22-1 of the 1989 law can be entered and signed electronically, provided that the guarantor actually reproduces them himself (not a pre-filled copy-paste). Certyneo provides a mandatory input field with validation and time-stamping.
Yes. Certyneo offers an "in-person signature" mode: both parties sign successively from the same tablet or smartphone during the visit, with strong identification (SMS OTP) for each. The audit trail preserves the time-stamp and geolocated IP.
Yes, via Zapier, Make and our webhooks — there is no certified native connector on these software platforms yet. Certyneo exposes a direct REST API and real-time webhooks to feed signature statuses back to your CRM. A native connector on one of these platforms is available on request: our integration team can support you in a custom deployment based on your stack and volume.
Our plans include 10-year archival with probative value, which corresponds to the retention obligations under the Hoguet law for mandates and standard durations for residential leases. Documents remain downloadable at any time from your dashboard.
Our pricing starts with a free plan to test the service. Paid plans are based on the volume of envelopes sent per month, with tiers designed for agencies (5, 20, 100 files/month). Visit our /pricing page for details.
Yes. A Certyneo envelope can contain multiple PDFs (lease + DPE annexes + risk assessment + deposit). The signatory reviews them in a single flow, signs once at the end, and the audit trail covers the entire package.
