If you hold the keys and the title documents until the bitcoin payment confirms, here is no risk for the seller. That is why this should be done face-to-face. But without the notary, how does the buyer proves ownership? You can come back and say he moved in illegally. With bitcoin there is no room for "both parties should trust each other". The payment is final and irrevocable.

Yes, I agree– what you describe is exaclty how it would proceed. The notaire would execute the contracts and prepare the deeds.
