Getting to Antibes, and back

Antibes is twenty minutes from Nice Côte d’Azur airport, France’s third, which serves more than one hundred direct destinations including London, Dubai and the great European hubs. For Sophia Antipolis executives and international families, it is one of the world’s simplest addresses.

For a buyer steering from abroad, that proximity changes everything: a targeted weekend trip suffices to view a prepared shortlist.

Viewing remotely, deciding knowingly

The difficulty is never the welcome: Antibes is an international town, international schools included, and the administration is used to foreign files. The difficulty is the sorting, from the confidential cape to Juan’s abundant supply: how to choose without paying the price of distance.

That is the work of a buyer-side finder: qualifying each property on file then on a video viewing, ruling out what does not hold, charges, diagnostics, bylaws, seller’s situation, keeping only what deserves your trip, and negotiating on comparable sales. A power of attorney lets you sign without travelling.

  1. 01 The remote search

    A written brief, filmed viewings, reports: the search runs from your time zone.

  2. 02 The targeted trip

    A weekend through Nice airport: the only step that requires your presence.

  3. 03 The signing

    Power of attorney at the notary’s or a final trip: both work, foreign file prepared upstream.

The Riviera calendar

The market follows the coast’s calendar: active in spring, March to June, then at the September-October rentrée, slowed but never stopped in summer. The winter brief prepares the spring shortlist. For the taxation of your country of residence, your notary and a tax adviser take over: another trade.

On the ground

Why a buyer’s agent in Antibes?

The best addresses never list

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.

You only view the essential

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.

The building audited before you commit

Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.

One method, two ways in

Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed.

The Confidential offer

Buying property in Antibes from abroad: your questions

Can a foreigner buy property in Antibes?

Yes, with no restriction: France imposes no nationality or residency condition on the buyer. The specifics lie elsewhere: financing from abroad, country-of-residence taxation, inheritance. The difficulty is logistical, never legal.

Is Antibes a good town for a foreign family?

Yes, and it is documented: international schools, the proximity of Sophia Antipolis, a port that lives all year and shops open in winter. International families settle there for good: the town offers the Riviera’s character with the year-round life resorts lack.

What is the best season to buy in Antibes?

Spring, March to June, and the September-October rentrée: the windows where quality supply comes out and trades. For a remote buyer, preparation starts in winter: brief, shortlist, spring trip.

What are your fees in Antibes?

Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Antibes, 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.
