Marks Real Estate assists both property owners and buyers across the French Riviera. We represent owners in the sale of their properties and also guide buyers in identifying and acquiring homes that match their criteria and lifestyle.

Yes. Marks Real Estate provides property management services for owners who wish to oversee their property on the French Riviera with professional support. This can include coordinating maintenance, supervising services and managing rental arrangements when required.

As a boutique real estate agency, we focus on personalised service, local expertise and long-term client relationships. Our team combines deep knowledge of the French Riviera property market with a discreet and professional approach tailored to each client.

Once a buyer has found a suitable property and an offer has been accepted by the seller, a preliminary sales agreement known as the Compromis de Vente is prepared and signed. At this stage, a deposit is typically paid and the buyer benefits from a statutory cooling-off period.

The notary then conducts the necessary legal checks and prepares the final deed of sale. Completion usually takes place approximately two to three months after the initial agreement, when the Acte de Vente is signed before the notary and ownership of the property is officially transferred.

Throughout the process, our team assists clients by coordinating with notaries, advisors and other professionals to ensure a smooth and transparent transaction.

In addition to the purchase price, buyers should generally expect acquisition costs of approximately 7–8% for existing properties and around 2–3% for newly built properties. These costs mainly consist of notary fees, registration taxes and administrative expenses associated with the transaction.

Our team is happy to explain these costs in detail and guide clients through the financial aspects of purchasing property in France.

Property prices on the French Riviera vary significantly depending on location, views, proximity to the sea and the overall characteristics of the property. Prestigious areas such as Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d’Antibes and certain parts of Villefranche-sur-Mer or Beaulieu-sur-Mer typically command some of the highest prices in the region.

While average prices may range widely across the Riviera, prime waterfront properties and exceptional villas can reach significantly higher values. Because each property is unique, price per square metre should always be considered alongside factors such as location, orientation, land size, condition and architectural quality.

Our team is pleased to provide guidance on current market values and pricing trends across the French Riviera.

The French Riviera has long been one of Europe’s most desirable property markets, attracting international buyers seeking both lifestyle and long-term value. With its mild climate, Mediterranean coastline and strong international appeal, the region continues to benefit from consistent demand.

Prestigious locations such as Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Cap d’Antibes are particularly sought after, offering a limited supply of properties and a reputation for stability within the luxury property market.

Yes. There are no restrictions preventing foreign buyers from purchasing property in France. International clients regularly acquire property on the French Riviera, either as a second home, a primary residence or an investment.

The purchasing process is the same for both French and foreign buyers, and transactions are overseen by a notary who ensures the legal security of the transfer of ownership.

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is widely regarded as one of the most exclusive residential areas on the French Riviera. The peninsula is known for its privacy, exceptional villas, panoramic sea views and proximity to Monaco and Nice.

With limited development opportunities and a long history of attracting international residents, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat remains one of the most sought-after property markets in the region.
