Property type · Lyon
Lyon has two families of private mansions: the Renaissance ones of Vieux Lyon, with courtyards, staircase towers and traboules, the covered passages through the blocks, and the 19th-century ones in Ainay and along the boulevard des Belges, facing the Parc de la Tête d’Or. Whole, they almost always sell without a listing; Home Select hunts them and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials
Home Select, buyer’s agent in Lyon, searches for hôtels particuliers exclusively on the buyer’s behalf. The DVF register does not single out this type of property: it counts it among houses, whose median stands at €5,300/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (199 sales), a benchmark that the address, the floor area, the land and the condition move. Home Select opens access to off-market properties, with fees 100% on success.
On the ground
A hôtel particulier for sale in Lyon reads on the house median of the survey, €5,300/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, in a very narrow house market within the city itself: the DVF register does not single it out, and a whole mansion trades case by case, most often above it. Vieux Lyon mostly sells apartments in divided mansions, which read on the apartment median, €4,400/m²; the mansions of the boulevard des Belges and Ainay change hands between families, often without a listing.
Vieux Lyon was the first protected historic district in France, and the historic site is a UNESCO World Heritage site: façades, roofs, courtyards and staircases are restored with the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, the state heritage architect. Who buys: Lyon families, business leaders and professionals, Parisians two hours away by TGV, Swiss and European buyers. Home Select checks every document of the file before you commit.
Rhône
Vieux Lyon, from Saint-Paul to Saint-Georges by way of Saint-Jean (€3,700/m²); Ainay and the surroundings of the place Bellecour (€5,000/m²); the boulevard des Belges and Les Brotteaux, facing the park (€5,400/m²); the slopes of the Croix-Rousse for silk merchants’ houses; for a garden, the west of Lyon (€3,800/m²).
On the ground
On this market, a share of the sought-after properties sells before publication, between families and through notaires and local networks. Home Select receives more than 100 off-market properties every day from its network of 15,000 partners.
Every lead is verified and priced for you before you travel, on file then on a video viewing: you view only the shortlisted properties, your decisive viewings grouped into a single trip. Home Select then defends your offer, with a complete file and the actual sales of the area in hand.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed. On top comes 10% of the negotiated reduction: Home Select is also paid on what you save.

The Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
Vieux Lyon sells the Renaissance: courtyards, galleries and staircase towers, in a pedestrian and much-visited quarter, almost always as apartments. The boulevard des Belges and Ainay sell the bourgeois 19th century, whole mansions with a garden or courtyard, rarer still. Whole mansions trade above the house median, €5,300/m²; apartments in mansions read on the apartment median, €4,400/m² (12 months to end of June 2026).
The co-ownership and the works it has voted, the condition of the staircases, floors and roofs, damp on the ground floors, the traboules opened to the public by agreement, and the rules of the protected district for any project. Home Select checks every document of the file before you commit; have the works priced by a heritage architect before the offer.
No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among houses, whose median stands at €5,300/m² across 199 sales recorded over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, October 2026 release, 12 months to end of June 2026). It is a reading benchmark, not an appraisal: the address, the floor area, the land, the view and the condition make the price of each property, and Home Select documents it sale by sale before any offer.
The calendar depends on how rare the target property is in Lyon and on your availability: Home Select frames it at the brief, then holds it. Properties are first seen on video, and your decisive viewings are grouped into a single trip.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select receives more than 100 properties every day from its 15,000 professional partners before they go on sale, and also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Lyon, the monitoring starts with two sectors: Ainay and the Presqu’île (2nd), then Foch, Tête d’Or (6th). That is often where the unfindable property is.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Lyon, charges 2.5% of the net purchase price (minimum €10,000 incl. VAT) on the Exclusive offer, or 1.5% on the Confidential offer for projects of €2m and above, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction in both cases. Home Select is paid on success only, and also on what you save: nothing is due until you have bought.
