Property type · Lyon
In Lyon, the loft has two origins: the canut apartment of the Croix-Rousse, built for the silk weavers’ looms, with its high ceilings and tall windows, and the former warehouse reworked in Vaise, Gerland or the Confluence. Home Select hunts these volumes before they list and brings you over only for the decisive viewings.

The essentials
Home Select, buyer’s agent in Lyon, searches for lofts exclusively on the buyer’s behalf. The DVF register does not single out this type of property: it counts it among apartments, whose median stands at €4,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026 (7,061 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 loft for sale in Lyon reads on the apartment median of the survey, €4,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, as a benchmark: the DVF register does not single it out, and value lies in the ceiling height, the possible mezzanine, the light and the floor, more than in the square metre alone. A restored canut apartment, on the slopes or the plateau, trades above it; an industrial floor to convert is paid for against the works and the change of authorised use.
Canut buildings are residential buildings: their status is simple, but the old co-ownership calls for a careful reading of the works it has voted. A warehouse or workshop, for its part, must have changed its authorised use to become a home. Who buys: Lyon families and executives, creative professions, Parisians two hours away by TGV. Home Select checks the authorised use, the co-ownership and the surveys before you commit.

The Confidential offerFrequently asked questions
A home in the buildings put up in the 19th century on the Croix-Rousse for the silk weavers: very high ceilings, close to four metres, to house the looms, tall windows, exposed beams, often a loft space. It is the Lyon loft par excellence, sought for its volume and light; it reads on the apartment median, €4,400/m² over the 12 months to end of June 2026, the finest trading above it.
Often, if the height allows and if the co-ownership rules and the floor structure permit; a created floor area changes the living area, the value and sometimes the service charges. Home Select checks the rules, the permits and the plans before you commit; have the structure studied by an architect or an engineering firm before the offer.
No public statistic singles out this type of property: the DVF register counts it among apartments, whose median stands at €4,400/m² across 7,061 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.
