What does mean D.I.A. ?

Declaration of intent to alienate. This is a formality that homeowners must fulfill when selling real estate located in a pre-emption zone. The purpose of this request is to inform the beneficiary of the right of pre-emption of the terms of sale so that he can assert his rights. (Often for the benefit of the commune on which the property is located). Areas are often defined and can be consulted with the urban planner. In the case where the municipality asserts its right, it seems that it replaces the buyer.
