When you buy a villa in the South of France, you will most likely discover that many villas in the hills are not connected to a central sewer system. Each villa has its system, called a fosse septique, or septic tank. This may sound like you’re buying a house from the Napoleon era but is […]
//A major economic recession is coming! The banks are falling! Everything is getting more expensive! House prices are going to drop dramatically!
You must be thinking, that’s ‘a nice start’ to a realistic real estate story about southern France. We are indeed heading for a recession in Europe, which will have unpleasant consequences for many people. But the Cote d’Azur is a world apart where different rules apply.
During visits this summer to luxury villas on the Cote d’Azur in a price range above 2 million, we discuss a possible home offer with the customer (if the house is to the taste). A few years ago, on average, there was always something to negotiate: about 5 to 7 per cent of the asking price. That is close to the amount you have to pay to the notary and taxes to purchase an existing home.
However, nowadays in eight out of ten cases, the asking price is the selling price. Sometimes some furniture is taken over; this reduces the net sales price and the tax you pay.
The price elasticity is minimized due to low-quality supply and high demand. There are more buyers than houses, making the southern French market an actual seller’s market for two years.
Mortgage rates in France also fluctuate between 1.7 and 2 per cent. European banks are increasingly giving negative interest on your savings. So investing in bricks is the most stable investment. Provided, of course, that those stones are in an economically stable environment and together form a beautiful villa.
Some home buyers who have invested their money in stocks, crypto, NFT or bitcoins are looking at the price of real estate on the Cote d’Azur with an extra sharp eye this year.
Due to the recession, they hope the market and the price per square meter will plummet. A luxury villa in the higher price range would then be sold for a much lower price. The arguments for a shallow offer are always the same: ‘the banks are going to crash’ and ‘people are going to be forced to sell their villas’.
But it doesn’t happen.
In the sixteen years that I have lived and worked here, I have experienced two economic crises, in 2009 and 2015, causing real estate value in other countries to plummet. “Buy for the lowest price and sell when the price rises again” was the motto. And that worked well in Dubai, Spain and Italy. But not on the Cote d’Azur.
There is something special about the French Riviera and why a recession does not hurt that bad. Most property owners have enough money to get through a crisis. The down-to-earth French mentality plays a significant role in this. Trouble in the world? War? Do banks go bankrupt? Are governments falling? One shrugs their shoulders, opens another bottle of wine, and knows all misery will pass one day. In the meantime, people prefer to sell nothing than forcibly sell for a lower price. That’s too close to the French honour!
Because if you don’t sell your house, you can always rent it out. More than thirty million people came this summer alone to the PACA region (Var and Alpes Maritimes)! The majority rented a room in a hotel or B&B, an apartment or a luxury villa for the whole family.
A simple villa with a pool and four bedrooms will quickly earn the owner between 3 and 5,000 euros per week. And the more exclusive the location, the higher the rent; rental prices of 50,000 euros per week are no exception.
In short, there is to be a turning point in the world’s prosperity—a period of uncertainty for many. But life on the French Riviera continues in a champagne bubble with fixed real estate prices. That is why everyone is so eager to buy here, and that is why there is no better investment than real estate on the Cote d’Azur.
Worst case scenario: the real estate market freezes, and you rent out the property for a reasonable price. Or, more likely, you see the property value increase: this year, the value of real estate along the coast has increased by an average of 13%. Welcome to the Cote d’Azur!
//Want To Live A Relaxed Life In The French Riviera? Here’s What You Need To Know Before You Move. A life in the French Riviera – or Cote D’Azur – is dreamlike: year-round sunshine, a thriving culture, and breath-taking scenery. It’s one of the top destinations to move to, so much so that the French Riviera hosts around 80,000 foreign residents. These residents claim that Cote D’Azur allows them to enjoy an escape from urbanism.
If you’re one of the people who are planning to move to the French Riviera, there are tons of how-to guides online that offer step-by-step instructions on how to buy a property in the area, paying taxes necessary for the move, and finding a job once you’ve settled in. But what about the daily life that you’ll be having once you’re finally in Cote D’Azur, though? What are some adjustments that you have to make? Let’s take a look.
One of the first things that you need to take note of when moving to the French Riviera is the climate. Cote D’Azur is a place of sunshine. As a matter of fact, it gets around 300 days of sunshine a year, so it follows that the temperature here is on the warmer side. Taking this into consideration, you need to make sure that you are prepared to make this adjustment, especially if you’re one who comes from a city with a cooler climate. Most of your activities might involve lounging on beach fronts and soaking up the sun, so make sure to wear clothes that let your skin breathe. You can also make the most out of the warm weather by visiting the vibrant outdoor markets in the area and tasting local delicacies.
Integrating yourself into the Cote D’Azur culture becomes easier when you speak the local language. It allows you to seamlessly blend with locals, thus making sure that you become a fragment of the community. You might think that French is basically the main language spoken in the French Riviera, and in a way, you’d be right. However, it would be more precise for you to learn Nissart, which is a regional variety of the Occitan language. This language is specific to the French Riviera region and has some distinct differences from French. Of course, as noted earlier, Cote D’Azur also has thousands of immigrants, and millions also flock to the country as visitors, so there is also no shortage of those who can speak English.
If you want to take in as much of what Cote D’Azur has to offer, you’d be glad to know that getting around the area is also relatively easy. Cote D’Azur offers a full network of public transportation, which includes buses, trains, and tramways. These modes of transportation operate on time and will get you around the city and to neighboring areas, too. Car parks are also available if you have a car or are renting one. As such, you don’t have to worry about going from one place to another once you move here since doing so would be relatively easy.
Moving to a new city or country, in general, can be a daunting experience. However, with all that Cote D’Azur can offer, transitioning to a relaxing life becomes easier.
//We can be brief about it: the ideal second home on the Côte d’Azur is most likely not for sale. That is an annoying truth and we would rather have reported something nicer. But honesty lasts the longest and that’s what we go for.
The ideal second home on the French Riviera is of course the home of your dreams. You have been thinking about this for so long and pictures in luxury living magazines convince you that it exists. In addition, every year you go on a luxury holiday in a similar house. It’s just not for sale.
In the case of a villa, everyone wants that flat garden with a long table under an olive tree, endless views of the sea on the horizon, no neighbours, no electricity cables in sight, a perfect state of maintenance and an owner who wants to sell the villa to you so much that the price can even be negotiated.
But maybe you are looking for an apartment in the south of France. Then, of course, you want at least two or three bedrooms, a large south-facing terrace where the sun rises and you also want to have the evening sun, a swimming pool within the residence that must also not be too old. You also want low service costs and the bakery within walking distance because you prefer not to use the car. Hmmm. Unless you want to be an hour away from the sea, you won’t be able to find anything like it.
What are you going to hand in from your wish list? The sea view or a large outdoor terrace? Or learn to live with the sound of the cars. Or the planes? Or the train? After sixteen years in French real estate, we can honestly say that the ideal house or apartment is not for sale. Even if you have ten million, you still won’t find everything on your list. Just like experienced estate agents in Monaco, where budgets start at 5 million for a studio, we have to repeat this statement every day: “You are not going to find what you are looking for. But we do have something that comes close.”
Take Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. A wealthy family looking for a cosy second house with a swimming pool had a budget of ten million. It had to be right on the sea with a view of the bay of Villefranche sur Mer for the evening apèro. After many visits, it was discovered that ten million does not guarantee a sea view. Anyway, they did buy something because the neighbourhood is so nice.
The same ‘problem’ also applies to Ramatuelle and Saint Tropez. You will find the most beautiful villas under architecture here with a beautiful swimming pool and a garden to dream of, but you sometimes have to think of the sea view yourself. Unless you are lucky and have an active team on top of the market that will inform you first when the almost ideal home comes up for sale. Click here to get in touch with that team.
Potential buyers of apartments up to a million were looking for a bourgeois building in Cannes with high ceilings, in a neat neighbourhood, with panoramic sea views, an impressive entrance, a garage and a sandy beach with restaurants within a five-minute walk. We found it. But the balcony was just big enough for the cat and a folding chair. And that was not the intention. And so there is always something.
An additional side effect is the dynamic real estate market in the Côte d’Azur. Until five years ago, you could choose a home at your leisure and think about what offer you were going to make. That is no longer the case. The asking price is the selling price and if you wait too long, your bid will be outbid.
Sellers also have the luxury of choosing buyers. If you do not need a mortgage, you will be preferred over a buyer who asks for an additional two months to consider the possibility of dissolving the provisional purchase agreement if the bank does not participate. Bluff poker to buy time won’t help; the notary will ask for proof that you actually have the money. The buying process for a home in the South of France is clear in this.
What many people do now is buy a house that is beautiful and that does not (sometimes at all) resemble your ideal home. But if the sun shines in the garden where you want it, the view melts your heart and the birds also do their best to make you happy, then it’s time for a sale with a renovation plan.
With an architect, you make the layout of the house and the garden and after the permits, you then create that house that does not exist. It’s a different approach where with the help of renovation and construction in the south of France you have to wait a little longer, but then you have exactly what you were looking for.
And in the case of an apartment, it is important that you can switch quickly. And consider beforehand how often you will sit on your balcony, next to the drying rack? are you not more often outside, on the beach? Then the size of a terrace may be less important than the beach nearby.
After an intake conversation via Zoom or telephone, we understand what you are looking for and make a realistic selection of what is feasible within budget. Once you have chosen The Ideal Top 3, we will send you more information about the area. And when you see the house in real life, the famous 17 seconds will start in which you decide to buy your home on the French Riviera.
//Taxes are a recurring ritual of the French government. Both local French and foreigners with second homes in France always grumble about the slow government and the ever-growing army of civil servants. But rest assured, the collection of taxes is well organized.
If you work in France, the tax system is mainly aimed at collecting as much as possible immediately. The social security system with benefits for the poor is solid good, but this has to be paid for by somebody. Indeed, by you. The working masses were surprised in 2019 with a new way of collecting tax: directly at the source.
If you work in France, the government collects your tax directly with access to your bank account. That sounds like a nice service but collecting the taxes from your bank account every month is ideal for the French government. That may sound like a nightmare to some, yet this system was implemented without any demonstration.
Instead of filing income taxes and paying all the taxes you owe for the previous year, in France, you are taxed at the source of the income in monthly payments. Income to which this applies, in addition to your salary, also includes pension income (such as pensions or annuities), relevant foreign income, leave (for example, due to illness or maternity) and rental income. If you live happily in your main house outside France, you have still control of your income tax and bank account.
If you collect your income outside of France but buy or own a property in France, you will have to pay the taxe foncière (property tax) in France, even if you rent the property out. The bill for the Taxe Foncière comes in the last quarter of the year.
The amount is based on the estimated annual rental value of the property multiplied by a percentage determined by the municipality (ask at your local town hall for more information). You can pay the tax in instalments or in advance via monthly direct debit. The taxe fonciere usually also includes the Taxe d’Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères (TEOM). Quite a mouthful, but it is the cost of collecting and processing garbage.
If you want to know exactly how much you have to pay in real estate taxes in which municipality, use this simulator. You choose your region, then the city and then you enter the surface area of your villa or apartment in France. It’s also a handy reality check for what you’re willing to pay in property taxes each year. If you are going to buy a house in France from abroad and you are thinking of 100m2 of living space, it will have more impact on the annual costs than a 2 bedroom apartment of 60m2.
An election promise from President Macron that is being fulfilled is the abolition of the housing tax or ‘Taxe Habitation’. 80% of households will now benefit from the abolition of the housing tax on their main residence from 2020 onwards.
From 2021, the remaining 20% of households will be subject to a gradual reduction in the housing tax on the main residence until its definitive abolition in 2023. However, if you live abroad and have a second home in France, you must pay this tax. Owners of second homes are not exempt from housing tax. They then have to pay local tax for each of their homes: the main home if they are still liable in 2022 AND the second home.
The Taxe Habitation residential tax is based on the rental value of homes owed on all furnished properties assigned to residential accommodation according to Article 1407 of the CGI (General Tax Code), which means that any residential property is taxable. The basic rule is, therefore, one home = one housing tax, except in special cases of exemption.
The housing tax on second homes will remain due for all taxpayers, with:
The revaluation of the taxable base by 3.4% compared to 2021
The enforcement of the tax rate in 2019
If you want to see where and how much Taxe Habitation you pay, use this simulation meter ‘How much housing tax do I pay for my second home in France?’
If you buy real estate in France, you will have to deal with a wealth tax, also known as IFI. In 2018, France abolished the wealth tax on financial assets and replaced it with IFI (Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière), which only applies to real estate.
The wealth tax levels are the following:
€800,000 to €1.3 million: 0.50%
€1.3 million to €2.57 million: 0.70%
€2.57 million to €5 million: 1%
€5 million to €10 million: 1.25%
€10 million+: 1.5%
There is also a handy online calculation meter for this tax: ‘How much IFI wealth tax do I pay for my home in France?’
We advise you to discuss the best way to deal with IFI tax with our civil-law notary. If there are several buyers of the property, and the value of the property is above 1.3 million, it can be useful to divide the IFI tax burden. For specific tailor-made tax advice, we would, of course, also be happy to put you in touch with our international network of tax advisers.
//Most clients looking to buy a home in the South of France, Provence or Paris are hard-working entrepreneurs or board-level managers. This target group also wants to enjoy regularly a second home with a beautiful view as a pleasant getaway. And where better to do that than in the South of France?
The French Riviera and the Provence are parts of the country with unlimited possibilities. Here you will find – within an hour’s drive – really anything you can think of. From glitter and glamour by the sea with roaring Lamborghinis to endless mountain walks with a single stray mountain goat. And from fresh ski descents in the Alps to freshly scented vegetable markets on medieval village squares. Visiting another country is also done quickly; Barcelona is only 6 hours away by car (with Flitsmeister) and you can also visit Monaco and Italy within the hour. From the Nice airport, you can now fly to almost two hundred destinations.
In short, buying a house in the South of France is an investment that will never get boring. And so the moment comes when you seriously start looking at what is for sale. For the aspiring buyer who has not looked on the Internet for two years, we have an annoying announcement; prices have risen again.
That is a solid certainty for homeowners; the price level of housing in the south of France. Over the years there has been now and then a crisis, but even then the prices never go down like in Spain where many homeowners regularly have heart attacks due to the fluctuating value of the real estate. The French simply hold their breath in a crisis and everything stays the same. If there is no sale for a while, then that time will come again.
The offer on real estate properties in the South of France seems large and once you have viewed many homes, you will see that the ideal home on the French Riviera does not actually exist. There is always something; a tree obstructing the view or there is an annoying French electric cable hanging between two poles on your horizon. By the way, you can always have that cable installed in the ground; it takes some time, money and effort, but it is possible. You will also encounter bathrooms from the early Sixties, cheap floor tiles in the living room, and unsightly air conditioning units. This can all be replaced. The view, the location, the (lack of) noise in the area and the quality of the neighbourhood are the main points to keep in mind.
Once you have found your home in the South of France, it is wise to hire our notary. This expert is on your side and will read the files of the seller extra carefully to avoid you being suddenly surprised with a notice from the municipality that you have to demolish that beautiful outbuilding. Or the pool house construction.
If no permit has been issued for an extension and the drawing in the land register deviates significantly from what the owner has shown you, you would like to know this before you sign. In some cases, the notary can ‘correct’ this in the new deed of sale by still requesting conformity if it was performed more than 15 years ago and no complaints have ever been filed.
When purchasing a house in the South of France, you may also need financing in addition to the notary. Foreign banks are no longer interested, but regional French banks are still offering mortgages for real estate in France to foreign buyers. If you are going to organize this yourself, prepare yourself for spiritual torture. At a bank branch, it is the most normal thing in the world that you are not given anything to drink. You are kept waiting for a long time because the customer is just a customer. And not a King. Once a manager has descended from the higher echelons of banking, you are met with all kinds of demands with a stern face. If you do not have the cartload of documents ready, you will be given a list and a date to return with a sigh.
After a month in your new house, that tile floor will start to irritate you. And the bathroom faucet is suddenly leaking and squeaking. Time for a renovation! That is the next adventure because renovating in the south of France is often a leap of faith where quality and deadlines are hard to find.
Anyone who engages in the services of Living on the Cote d’Azur has access to a complete team of experienced purchase advisors, English-speaking notaries, friendly bank managers and strong construction workers. In short, the ideal team that takes care in helping you purchase a house in the south of France. Contact us for a first acquaintance by phone or Zoom.
//If you want to buy the perfect house in France, you have to be patient. Buying real estate In Provence, Cote d’Azur or Paris is a process of searching, looking, searching, assessing and finally striking at the ‘moment suprème’. Sometimes months pass; the process from looking to buying takes much longer than expected. Much to the disappointment and frustration of the buyer.
One of the reasons lies in the fact that the supply of houses is opaque. This makes it difficult to remotely assess a property in the south of France. Photography is getting better and better, but it doesn’t tell you whether the house is next to a graveyard. Or close to the autoroute. In addition, unlike in other countries, many houses are offered by several brokers. It is an extremely competitive battle where registration of the customer’s name is the first battle to be won. Every real estate agent tries to sell a house in his/her own way to get in contact with you.
Hunting the buyer is done with exciting drone photos and videos on Youtube and TikTok, a beautifully set dining table in a sun-drenched garden and of course a lot of local promotion in the window shop and in free glossy magazines that you can find on the street. On top of that, French real estate agents advertise on French real estates portal websites such as Green Acres, Le Figaro, Les Belles Demeures and many others. If you search a house on these real estate portals specifically for a price and city, it may happen that you come across the same house several times, but with different photos. Tip if you’re not sure: Look at the kitchen! If you are seduced and you ask for more information via such a portal, you will roll into a database without your knowledge and you will suddenly be ‘owned’ by the selling real estate agent.
This does not mean that the red carpet is now going out and people will contact you ‘a la minute’. Due to the playful ease of requesting information on the Internet without human contact, thousands of forms are sent to hundreds of brokers every day. This increases the chance that you will be registered, but you will not be asked what exactly you are looking for. Just because it’s too busy. Or the house is already under offer, in that case, it makes no sense to inform you further. Selling real estate is often a pragmatic act for a real estate agent under pressure.
Of course, you don’t have the time (or motivation) to be in daily contact with dozens of brokers. And once you’re in contact with 2, or 3 real estate agents, you don’t like to be stalked with houses that are not in your taste, style or budget. You simply want a selection that is close to your wish list and preferably from as many parties as possible.
This is where the Dutch portal Living on the Côte d’Azur excels. We are connected with practically all real estate agents in the South of France and offer our customers a personal service. On the portal, you will find the best offer from the best brokers, combined with sober Dutch advice. Because anyone can find a house, the buying process of a house in France through the French notary scares many people. Even though the buyer is fully protected in France with cooling-off periods, it seems complicated. Why do you have to wait an extra month for permission from the municipality, don’t notaries become extremely wealthy from the transfer tax, why do you have to hire a translator for the final deed of sale, what is IFI wealth tax and why does it take so long? All questions that we are happy to answer and help you understand.
The Dutch portal Living on the Côte d’Azur operates as a one-stop-shop with a deep and wide range of apartments and villas at a high-quality level. Our service also helps you find a mortgage in France on favourable terms. Or home insurance. And if you want to make a change in your home, we have local teams for paintwork or heavier construction and renovation works in the South of France. From new bathrooms, windows and floors to complete swimming pools with summer kitchens.

//It is not scientifically proven, but most real estate agents on the French Riviera can confirm it: ‘You buy a house in 17 seconds’. It has nothing to do with a sunny day or a fragrant apple pie in the oven. Nor does it matter if the current owners have junk lying around everywhere. Or if an exterior door is visibly rotten. When you walk into a house in France, you immediately feel: ‘I could live here’. Unconsciously, you have already decided that this is where you will live.
And the further you walk through the house or the flat, the more specific you are. The house feels good, so your subconscious has already made your choice: this will be your new home in France. While your heart is racing and you are already thinking about which garden furniture to buy, you are semi-interested in looking at the uninteresting electric meter cupboard, the kitchen drawer that closes by itself and the storage room bulging with the contents of a large family.
Of course, you mumble for form’s sake about this house’s low energy standard and that you will probably replace all the windows. You only say this in the hope that the price will be reduced, but deep in your heart, you don’t really care. You long for the French Riviera summers you will spend in this house, with all the windows open.
The first seventeen seconds, from the moment you get out of your car, look at the house and walk in expectantly, are crucial for your decision. You know enough if there is good energy in the house and it feels like coming home. Fortunately, you have professional guidance from a Dutch real estate purchasing advisor. Otherwise, you would immediately fall into the arms of the selling broker, crying with joy.
If you are faced with an important decision, such as buying a house in the South of France, you will make the right decision by listening to your intuition. Let all the scenarios go through your mind (A – don’t buy and regret it forever, or B – buy and enjoy life) and feel which decision makes your heart beat faster. Some people get overwhelmed by the feeling of coming home to another house, another country. So they close their eyes, take a deep breath and ask the Universe if they are making the right decision to buy this house in France. Buying is a good decision if there is no lightning bolt in the blue sky.
The purchase advisor knows you well enough by now to see that this visit will not be without consequences. He or she will negotiate a reasonable price on your behalf that satisfies everyone. Unfortunately, purchasing a property in France takes more than seventeen seconds. To be precise, on average 7,257. Six hundred seconds is 12 weeks before you can have the key. But after that, you can start enjoying your house in France endlessly. Congratulations!

Once a property is found and you are the new owner, you want to add of course your personal flavor to the interior. The question is then, do you want interior design or luxury interior design?
There is a significant difference between standard interior design and luxury interior design. Luxury interior design focuses on the client’s preferences, offering a unique and bespoke consultation rather than a standard service or general advice. The whole process is centred on our client’s vision of their home, office, boat or aeroplane. Working with an interior designer is an in-depth, collaborative and informative experience.
For those who are searching to find a different style and level of luxury interior design, Living on the Côte d’Azur is happy to announce our partnership with Ron Dayan, chief designer of Beverly Hills Interiors.
At Beverly Hills Interiors we aim to successfully create and cultivate a strong bond with our clients and we reach this level of understanding by asking questions and observing; not imposing what we feel they should have. The attention to detail becomes far more acute and the work required to execute the project is extensive to ensure the client’s requirements are fully interpreted and understood from all angles. Luxury interior design aims to create an interior that is reflective of the client’s taste and personality. This is where our experienced designers really shine; their ability to skillfully combine their expertise with the clients’ vision, results in unique and exclusive finished looks.
Beverly Hills Interiors is an international practice, providing the most comprehensive interior architecture and interior design services. We place absolute importance on understanding the particular needs and requirements of our clients for personalized service delivered to an uncompromisingly high standard.
Beverly Hills Interiors is still winning the kind of assignments most interior designers aim for. So, whether the project is an apartment on the beach or a mansion in the hills, BHI, which is also enriched with a set design background from London and Hollywood TV studios, transforms interiors from villas to private jets in a dramatic and graceful fashion.
Shocking yet true, among Beverly Hills Interiors’ many claims to fame is raising the value of their client’s properties by 32% – 275%. They have done so for decades. When visiting Beverly Hills Interiors’ portfolio, be prepared for extreme diversity and virtuosity showcasing the astonishing skills to blend classical periods of history with futuristic interpretation, to create results that are breathtaking, yet restrained, always with a bit of drama.
Our behavior is constantly evolving as we spend the majority of our lives indoors: in homes, where families evolve; in restaurants, where grand romances begin; in schools, where growing minds are nurtured; and in offices, where we work towards our dreams. These, and many more, are the backdrops to life’s most memorable moments and each one has a significant impact on us, some without us even realizing it. And, so, we create interiors that matter—the kind of interiors that are worthy of life’s memorable moments.
Beverly hills interiors understand two things very well; we understand interiors and we understand luxury. Interiors because training and experience have taught us what it takes to create a successful one; and luxury because it’s the very DNA of our brand. By combining the two, we fulfil our ultimate commitment to our clients: to make the ordinary extraordinary. Whether that’s faultless finishes and exquisite exotic materials or the absence of excess and a focus on raw craftsmanship, capturing the extraordinary for our clients is what drives us.
Unique Pedigree
Educated in London, Paris, and Florence, enhanced by living in 8 countries on 4 continents, extensive global travels, designing estate homes as large as 55,000 square feet, and serving Hollywood personalities, distinguishes BHI’s background from other designers and decorators.

Rich experience in Set-Design at London and Hollywood studios adds a sense of drama and remarkable versatility to our designs, great speed executing projects; some are executed instantly while capturing the “Wow-Factor!”

Projects outside the U.S.A may save the client an additional 17%-21% in VAT -for a whopping total of 46% in potential savings!
Ron Dayan’s Reputation
A marketing advantage for real estate developers, real estate agents, and homeowners of prime properties whereby buyers are drawn to designs by Ron Dayan, hailed “The Designer to the Rich and Famous,” resulting in increased property values; proven results: 32%-250%.
//A penthouse is the most desirable apartment in the world. You have no upstairs neighbours and you enjoy the best view. With a spacious terrace, you can dine under the starry sky. The only downside to a penthouse is that they are always the first to sell, so you need to be quick.
Or you have to be lucky, where a bank ultimately does not provide the financing and the penthouse comes back on the internal market.
We are sending you three penthouses that are sold within the next two weeks. Make your move and come to the sunny South!

Between Menton and Saint Tropez and in Paris, we offer homebuyers in France a personal full-service. It starts with an initial conversation to understand what exactly you are looking for.
Then we make a selection, organise the visits and advise you on the buying process and possible financing. Even after the purchase, we remain involved with guidance and advice on renovations or rental.
Our service is free of charge but only works if you are not already registered with a French estate agent. Read Ten Reasons To Work With A Buyer Agent and find out the best way to buy.
