The Purchase Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French property transactions are heavily regulated and buyer-friendly. The key steps are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preliminary Sale Agreement<\/strong> (<strong>Compromis de vente<\/strong>) \u2014 Once you agree on a price, you sign a preliminary sale agreement and pay a deposit of 5\u201310%. French law then grants you a 10-day cooling-off period during which you can withdraw penalty-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Due diligence<\/strong> \u2014 The seller must provide a full set of mandatory surveys covering energy performance, asbestos, lead, termites, and electrical condition. For houses, an independent structural survey is also advisable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Completion<\/strong> (<strong>Acte authentique<\/strong>) \u2014 Completion takes place before a notary, who acts as a state-appointed legal officer, conducts title searches, and registers the sale. On signing, you pay the balance, notary fees (7\u20138% for resale properties), and receive the keys.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process typically takes 10\u201312 weeks from preliminary agreement to completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Key Taxes for Non-Residents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Property tax (taxe fonci\u00e8re)<\/strong> : An annual local tax paid by all owners regardless of residency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secondary residence tax (taxe d&#8217;habitation)<\/strong> : Still applicable to holiday homes. Some Riviera municipalities apply a surcharge of up to 60% in high-demand areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rental income<\/strong> : Taxed at a minimum of 20% net, plus social charges of 17.2%. A double taxation treaty between France and your home country will usually determine your final liability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Capital gains<\/strong> : Non-EU sellers pay 19% tax plus 17.2% social charges on resale profits. Tapering reliefs apply the longer you hold the property \u2014 after 22 years, no income tax is due on the gain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wealth tax (IFI)<\/strong> : Applies if your French real estate holdings exceed \u20ac1.3 million in net value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Financing Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cash purchases are common in the luxury market and strengthen your negotiating position. Non-residents can obtain French mortgages, though lenders typically require a 20\u201330% deposit and assess income carefully. Working with a specialist mortgage broker experienced in non-resident applications is advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your funds are in a currency other than euros, a foreign exchange service can help manage exchange rate risk at the point of purchase and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Ownership Structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most buyers purchase in their own name \u2014 simple and straightforward. However, families and investors often use an <strong>SCI (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Civile Immobili\u00e8re)<\/strong>, a French civil property company that facilitates succession planning and shared ownership. Whether an SCI is appropriate depends on your circumstances; a French tax lawyer can advise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Practical Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bank account<\/strong> \u2014 A French account simplifies payment of taxes, utilities, and service charges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Property management<\/strong> \u2014 If you are not regularly present, a local manager is essential for maintenance and oversight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Short-term rentals<\/strong> \u2014 Platforms such as Airbnb are increasingly regulated on the Riviera. Check local rules before purchasing with a rental strategy in mind.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Residency<\/strong> \u2014 Buying property does not confer the right to live in France. Non-EU nationals are subject to Schengen&#8217;s 90-day-in-180 rule for visits without a visa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"79380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.valmontriviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/e0e5edca03791acd2bbfb0dcfd49f0f2_1554f5fe82_2250-original-79367-0-496x331.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the Riviera Holds Its Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limited developable land, world-class infrastructure, and sustained international demand have made the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur remarkably resilient. Nice&#8217;s international airport offers direct connections worldwide; supply of quality properties remains constrained; and the lifestyle \u2014 300 days of sunshine, the Alps, and the Mediterranean \u2014 continues to attract buyers from every corner of the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;True rarity is crafted.
