Home Select, a prestige buyer’s agent, here conducts the purchase of a property in Deauville from abroad: Paris two hours away and the airport ten minutes, remote viewings, power of attorney, and the Côte Fleurie calendar. France places no restriction on foreign buyers.
A first confidential conversation, with no commitment

Getting to Deauville, and back
Deauville has its own airport, Deauville-Normandie, ten minutes away, with seasonal flights and a few European summer links. For long-haul, the gate remains Paris: two hours by train from Saint-Lazare to Trouville-Deauville, a direct door few resorts offer.
For a buyer steering from abroad, often through Paris or London, that double gate makes the targeted weekend realistic: shortlist in hand, two days suffice.

Viewing remotely, deciding knowingly
The difficulty of a remote purchase is never the welcome: Deauville is an international resort and the administration is used to foreign files. The difficulty is the sorting, on a market of old villas and modest sales volumes: every property is a case, and the fine ones go between insiders.
That is the work of a buyer-side finder: upstream watch, qualifying each property on file then on a video viewing, ruling out what does not hold, roof frames, charges, co-ownership bylaws, seller’s situation, and negotiating on comparable sales. A power of attorney lets you sign without travelling.
01The remote search
A written brief, continuous watch, reports: the search runs from your time zone.
02The targeted trip
A weekend through Paris or the local airport: the only step that requires your presence.
03The signing
Power of attorney at the notary’s or a final trip: both work, foreign file prepared upstream.

The Côte Fleurie calendar
Two peaks: spring, April to June, and the September rentrée, punctuated by the yearling sales; the summer high season slows viewings. 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 Deauville?
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.
Exclusive
Exclusive search mandate
2.5%of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT+ 10% of the negotiated reduction
The full service, for every budget: brief, sourcing, off-market, pre-visits, negotiation and follow-through to the notary signing.
Buying property in Deauville from abroad: your questions
Can a foreigner buy property in Deauville?
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.
How do I view properties in Deauville from abroad?
Through a finder who vets them for you, with your criteria: filmed or live viewings, written reports, and a shortlist for your trip. Paris being two hours by train and the local airport ten minutes, the targeted weekend suffices to decide. A power of attorney lets you sign without travelling.
What is the best season to buy in Deauville?
All year round, provided you avoid August for viewings: the town is full then, and it is off season, when Les Planches empty, that a villa shows its true relation to calm and light. For a remote buyer, preparation starts in winter: brief, watch, shortlist, spring trip.
What are your fees in Deauville?
Home Select, a buyer’s agent in Deauville, 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.
