FAQ

Can you help us access off-market properties on the French Riviera?

Yes. A significant share of prime Riviera homes are sold discreetly. We source off-market opportunities through local networks and direct relationships, then present only options that match your brief and standards.

What are the best areas to buy property on the French Riviera?

It depends on lifestyle and priorities. Cap Ferrat and Cap d’Antibes offer privacy and landmark villas, Cannes combines lifestyle and rental appeal, while Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer offer views, charm, and proximity to Monaco.

What extra costs should we budget for when buying in France?

Beyond the purchase price, buyers typically budget for notary fees and taxes. The exact structure depends on whether the property is resale or new build. We provide a clear estimate early in the process.

Do you work with international buyers?

Yes. We manage viewings, negotiations, due diligence and the notary process, and can introduce trusted partners for financing, tax structuring, relocation, and property management if needed.

How long does a purchase typically take?

Many transactions complete within a few months, depending on complexity, documentation, and financing. We set a timeline at the start and manage each milestone to keep the process smooth.

A tailored approach to buying on the Riviera

Buying on the French Riviera is about access, timing, and informed judgement — not volume. We start by defining your non-negotiables: location, views, privacy, architecture, walkability, security, parking, and rental potential where relevant. From there, we curate a focused shortlist, including opportunities not visible online. We coordinate viewings efficiently, provide candid guidance on value and resale liquidity, and negotiate with calm precision. You’ll have a single point of contact throughout, with a service-minded team managing details discreetly from first call to signature.
