Frequently Asked Questions About Cannes
Buying property in Cannes is about more than investing in a home – you’re investing in a lifestyle, too. That jet-setter’s way of life means grand homes that appeal to the wealthiest buyers, high-profile events and spectacular scenery.
What makes Cannes such a popular location to live and buy property?
Cannes has so much to offer, from a Mediterranean climate offering near-perfect weather year-round to a picturesque coastline with private beaches, gourmet restaurants and first-rate shops. Plus, when the season turns from summer to autumn, Cannes doesn’t turn into a ghost town, as some other French towns do during the off-season. Instead, it stays vibrant with plenty to keep you busy.
Cannes is a city on the French Riviera, set in southeastern France’s Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Cotes d’Azur region. It’s most famous for the Cannes Film Festival, which is hosted at the Palais des Festivals each year. Since Cannes is so well-known internationally, people from all over the world buy property here, including British expats. With its high cost of living, the resort attracts wealthy buyers looking for a holiday home or to move permanently.
The Nice Cote d’Azur airport is only 45 minutes away by car, and you can arrange for a helicopter transfer if you’d like to arrive even sooner. If you’re flying in by private jet, there’s an airport about 20 kilometres closer to Cannes. Another option is the TGV, which runs from Paris to Cannes for a five-hour trip.
Once a town focused mainly on agriculture and fishing, Cannes shifted to one of class, elegance and wealth thanks in part to the luxury villas that were built. Today, Cannes is known for its fashionable, affluent appeal, with exquisite homes offering unbeatable views of the Mediterranean. The glamorous Cannes Croisette area is renowned for its luxurious hotels, exclusive clubs along the beachfront Promenade de la Croisette, and the sought-after rue d’Antibes, celebrated for its proximity to the Croisette and its vibrant shopping scene, making it a prime location for real estate investments.
What is the average price of property in Cannes?
In Cannes, you’re looking at the crème de la crème of luxury properties. For high-end villas and apartments, especially in prime locations like La Californie or the Croisette, prices start around €1 million and can soar beyond €50 million for the most exclusive estates with sea views.
A luxurious villa may range from €2 million to €20 million or more, offering bespoke interiors and modern amenities. Meanwhile, premium apartments, particularly those with seafront positions, can be priced from €2 million to €15 million, with penthouses reaching even higher.
Remember, each property is unique, and these figures are a general guide, reflecting not just a home but an investment in a luxurious lifestyle exclusive to Cannes.
What are the most popular types of property in Cannes?
In Cannes, the property market is diverse, catering to a wide range of preferences and lifestyles. For discerning buyers, especially those with a penchant for luxury, the most popular types of properties for sale are:
Luxury Villas: These are highly sought after for their privacy, space, and exclusivity. Many luxury villas in Cannes offer stunning sea views, landscaped gardens, and pools. They are often found in prestigious areas like La Californie and Super Cannes.
Seafront Apartments: Situated along the famous Croisette or in close proximity to the beaches, these apartments are popular for their breathtaking Mediterranean views and ease of access to Cannes’ vibrant city life. They range from compact, high-end studios to expansive penthouses.
Provençal-style Homes: These properties are appreciated for their traditional French charm and are often located in quieter, more residential areas. They typically feature classic Provençal architecture with terracotta tiles, exposed wooden beams, and often come with beautiful gardens.
Modern Architectural Properties: There’s a growing demand for contemporary homes in Cannes, characterized by clean lines, open-plan living spaces, and state-of-the-art amenities. These properties appeal to buyers who desire a more modern, sleek aesthetic.
Each of these property types offers its own unique set of attractions, whether it be the allure of a sea view, the charm of traditional French architecture, or the sleekness of modern design, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences among luxury buyers in Cannes.
What are the best areas to buy property in Cannes?
In Cannes, there are several areas that stand out as prime locations for property buyers, each offering its unique charm and advantages.
The Croisette is arguably the most prestigious area in Cannes, famous for its luxury boutiques, high-end restaurants, and stunning seafront promenade. Properties here are highly sought after, offering spectacular sea views and a vibrant lifestyle. Ideal for those who want to be in the heart of Cannes’ glamour, Croisette is synonymous with luxury living, where you can find exquisite apartments and penthouses.
La Californie is another exclusive area, often referred to as the “Beverly Hills” of Cannes. Nestled on a hillside, it offers some of the best panoramic views of the sea and the city. The properties here are predominantly luxurious villas with spacious grounds, swimming pools, and a high degree of privacy. La Californie is perfect for those seeking a more secluded and tranquil environment, yet still want to be close to the city center.
Le Suquet, the old town of Cannes, offers a more historical and cultural living experience. The properties here are often characterized by their traditional Provençal charm, with narrow, cobbled streets and beautiful old buildings. Le Suquet is ideal for those looking for character and authenticity, along with stunning views over the bay of Cannes.
Palm Beach is another attractive area, situated at the eastern end of the Croisette. Known for its beautiful beaches and more laid-back atmosphere, it offers both luxury apartments and villas. This area is ideal for those who are beach enthusiasts and prefer a quieter, yet upscale environment.
Each of these areas offers a distinct lifestyle and type of property, catering to the diverse preferences of buyers in Cannes. Whether you seek the bustling luxury of the Croisette, the exclusive tranquility of La Californie, the historic charm of Le Suquet, or the beachside serenity of Palm Beach, Cannes has a locale to match every desire.
How does the property buying process work in France?
While Cannes is a beloved adopted home for expats, the buying process is strictly regulated, and it can be confusing to find your way through it for the first time. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect once you’ve found a property you love:
- First you need to make an offer in writing. This will be presented to the owner, who will then respond.
- You will then need to sign the Compromis de Vente, a legal document that states the details of the property and sale. (Note that this is not the deed and does not make the sale official at this time.)
- There is then a 10-day cooling-off period. During this time, you can pull out of the purchase without penalty.
- You will then need to pay the deposit, which is usually 5% to 10% of the purchase price. You can do this during the cooling-off period, and you won’t lose the deposit if you change your mind during that time.
- The conveyancing process will take about 10 to 12 weeks, and it will be conducted by the notaire. This is when various aspects of the property are inspected and associated documents are prepared.
- You will need to make the final payment and sign the deed of sale, called the Acte de Vente.
- Finally, you can sit back and enjoy your new home in Cannes!
It’s best to have an estate agent on your side who can explain each part of the process from the very beginning. Also, if you’re not fluent in French, it’s smart to hire your own translator who can explain what you’re signing and agreeing to.
