With Matt's experience working for a major French estate agency, we understand French property values from the inside out.

"We provide the objective valuation insights that French estate agents rarely offer to international buyers."

Understanding What Influences Worth

French property values are affected by unique factors:


  • Regional market variations more extreme than in the UK, creating significant price disparities
  • Significant urban/rural value disparities that can surprise international buyers
  • Impact of tourism and second-home markets on seasonal demand and pricing
  • Renovation potential versus cost considerations that affect investment returns
  • Local infrastructure and amenity access that varies dramatically by region
  • Historical and architectural significance that can both add and reduce practical value


Our valuations help you understand these factors, preventing overpayment or unrealistic expectations.
