Buying Process for Property in France

Unlike in the UK and many other countries, France has a system of multiple listings for property sales and it is rare for a vendor to give an exclusive contract to just one agency.

Multiple listings allow maximum exposure for a property and it is not uncommon to find the same property on the books of 20 different agents - and often at different prices!! If you go via several different agencies you will almost certainly see that they share the majority of the same properties. This can be a tiresome and disheartening process if you’re wasting valuable time visiting properties you saw already with a previous agent.

How do we get round this problem? The best solution is to appoint one single agency to act on your behalf who will undertake a full and comprehensive property search allowing you to visit suitable properties on the market offered at the best price.

Attika International is a very well-known and highly-respected agency on the Riviera with FNAIM affiliation and offices in Nice and Cannes. We have a huge portfolio of properties and can therefore offer you the best that is on the market at the lowest-available price. We work with an extensive network of other agencies all along the coast and will be delighted to carry out a personalised property search on your behalf in order to source properties and co-ordinate an itinerary of visits for you.

We also work directly with the constructers of all our new build developments and sell these at developer prices. We have a number of prestigious new build developments in Cannes and in the areas around Monaco.

It couldn’t be simpler, all you have to do it is turn up and enjoy the fun part of finding your property!!
