Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your project

How much does a townhouse in the Golden Triangle cost?

€25-80M depending on size (800 to 3,500 m²), condition (to renovate, restored, historic signature). Above €60M: fewer than 8 transactions per year.

Is there a market under €5M in the 6th or 8th arrondissement?

Yes, for grand floor apartments 80-150 m² (€1.8 to €4.8M). The €5-15M segment covers 200-400 m² apartments and small townhouses (rare).

How does purchasing a townhouse in co-ownership work?

Many Parisian townhouses have been divided into lots (3 to 12 units). Buying a "complete townhouse" often requires assembling all lots, a complex process handled by our legal team.

What are the rental yields in Paris for long-term residence?

Very low: 1.8-3% gross on properties above €5M. But capital appreciation: +5 to 8% per year over 15 years (Paris Notaries data).

Are there Airbnb restrictions in Paris?

Very strict since 2024: mandatory registration, 90-day annual limit for primary residences, near-total ban on change of use in tight zones (1st-12th, 16th-18th). Exceptions possible for secondary residences in 4-5 star classified tourist residences.

Is a wealth study mandatory in Paris?

Highly recommended from €4M. Parisian taxation (IFI, major property tax, capital gains) combined with wealth concentration in the Paris region justifies SCI structuring / usufruct arrangements before signing.
