French term
Le tout sauf meilleurs ou plus récents confronts
French to English
Other
Real Estate
Hi everyone,
This sentence appears on its own at the end of a notary's description of a property.
Earlier in the text, 'confronter' was used when saying what other buildings the property faced on the north, south, east and west sides.
I'm completely stumped on the whole sentence to be honest - particularly as 'meilleurs' and 'confronts' appear to be used as nouns here... can anyone help?!
Thank you!

subject to any more recent or accurate details of adjoining properties
I haven't found "confronts" in a dictionary but, as you say, it clearly means "details of adjoining properties". Here's another example:
Les parties, ci-après précisées, d’un immeuble situé numéro x, rue Comte Félix Gastaldi, à Monaco-Ville, ensemble le terrain sur lequel il repose et qui en dépend, paraissant cadastré sous le numéro 99 p. de la Section C, confrontant dans son ensemble :
- du Sud, à la rue Emile de Loth ;
- du Levant, à Monsieur Louis X ou ayant droit ;
- du couchant, à Monsieur Joseph X ou ayant droit ;
- et, du dessous, à Monsieur Paul x ou ayant droit.
Le tout **sauf meilleurs ou plus récents confronts s’il en existe.**

So "meilleurs" is an adjective, not a noun.

Or maybe "precise" rather than "accurate".

Comment: "Adrian's answer is also very good, but this one fit my context better as it was talking about the buildings rather than the boundaries. Thanks for your help!"

All save better-drawn or more recent boundaries
- specific to Languedoc (speaking the language of occitaine) and where the inhabitants are non-confront-ational.
A slight shift of emphasis from Phil G.'s answer, namely to the acutal borders and not the particulars thereof.

Example sentence:
dans l’énoncé des confronts, le notaire (et peut-être son client) ne donne aucune priorité à la rivière, au ruisseau, au bois ou même à la route.

Thanks for the lovely reference, just as would have caught ex-law clerk Honoré de Balzac's eye at the time.
