Behind its carriage gates, the Écusson, Montpellier’s old town, hides the private mansions of the 17th and 18th centuries: inner courtyards, open-well staircases, pale stone façades, from La Canourgue to the promenade du Peyrou. 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 Montpellier, 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 €3,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (496 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 Montpellier reads on the house median of the survey, €3,700/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, as a benchmark: the DVF register does not single it out, and a whole mansion in the Écusson trades case by case, most often above it. Almost all have been divided into apartments: the noble floor, with its ceilings and its windows on the courtyard, reads on the apartment median, €3,400/m², and costs more once restored.
The Écusson is a remarkable heritage area: façades, roofs, joinery, staircases and interior decoration are restored with the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, the state heritage architect. The centre is pedestrian and cars are left in car parks: life on foot makes the value. Who buys: Montpellier families, professionals and doctors, Parisians drawn by the sun and the sea twenty minutes away, European buyers.
Hérault
La Canourgue and the square of Saint-Pierre cathedral; the Peyrou, the rue Foch and the triumphal arch; Sainte-Anne and Saint-Roch, livelier; the Préfecture and the rue de l’Aiguillerie; for a garden, Boutonnet, Les Arceaux and Castelnau-le-Lez (€3,900/m²), where 19th-century family houses offer space.
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
The whole mansion gives the courtyard, the open-well staircase and control of the works, but it is rare; the apartment on the noble floor gives the ceiling heights, the fireplaces and life on foot within a co-ownership. The first trades above the house median, €3,700/m²; the second reads on the apartment median, €3,400/m² (12 months to end of June 2026).
With difficulty: the historic centre is pedestrian, and parking is found in public car parks, by subscription, or in the rare private garages, which are negotiated separately. A mansion with a courtyard cars can enter is exceptional. Home Select checks access, rights of way and the available subscriptions before you commit.
No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among houses, whose median stands at €3,700/m² across 496 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 Montpellier 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 Montpellier, the monitoring starts with two sectors: L’Écusson and Beaux-Arts, then Les Arceaux. That is often where the unfindable property is.
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Montpellier, 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.
