Every type of premises
Which premises does Home Select search for?
Premises to buy, vacant or occupied, and premises to rent, for whoever will occupy them.
Shops and retail
The ground-floor premises, its window, its footfall and its street: location makes the value, shop by shop.
Offices and floors
A team’s floor, in the centre or in a business district, chosen for transport, light and the image of the address.
Practices and professionals
The medical, legal or consulting practice, on the ground floor or upstairs, with its rules on public access and use.
Workshops and business premises
A craftsman’s workshop, mixed premises with storage or a showroom, the urban warehouse that receives deliveries.
Restaurant premises
Premises equipped for catering, with extraction and a terrace: the property, never the business goodwill.
Premises to convert
Premises whose authorised use must change, a shop into offices or a workshop into a home, with the authorisation that goes with it.
The method
How does your search work?
Five steps, from the brief to the signing, with a single point of contact.
-
The brief
Activity, area, location, public access, purchase or rent budget, timetable: the need is written before the first viewing.
-
Sourcing from every source
Specialist portals, letting and sales networks, owners, notaires and partners: premises that never list count as much as listings.
-
Analysis and feasibility
Authorised use, co-ownership rules, current lease, accessibility, technical condition: each premises is read on documents before the viewing.
-
Useful viewings
You only view the shortlisted premises, grouped, with a reasoned opinion on the location and the price.
-
Negotiation and signing
Offer or lease negotiation, backed by the references of the sector, then the preliminary contract and the deed, or the signing of the lease.

What premises often hide
- An authorised use that does not allow your activity, and an authorisation to obtain before you can open.
- A current lease that gives the sitting tenant a right to renewal, and an eviction indemnity to take the premises back.
- Co-ownership rules that limit the activities allowed in the building.
- Accessibility and safety works to receive the public, to be priced before the offer.
- In large cities, an authorisation to change the use before setting up a practice in a dwelling.
Frequently asked questions
What Home Select is asked first
What does a buyer’s agent do for commercial premises?
They search for the premises for you alone: they write the brief with you, sort the listings, approach owners and networks for the premises that never list, check the authorised use, the lease and the co-ownership rules, then negotiate the price or the lease. At Home Select, a buyer’s agent specialised in commercial premises runs these searches.
How much does a commercial premises search cost?
For a purchase, Home Select applies the scale of the Exclusive offer: 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, plus 10% of the negotiated reduction, on success only. For a rental, fees are due at the signing of the lease and set out in the mandate.
Does Home Select search for businesses for sale?
No. Home Select searches for premises, vacant or occupied, and premises to rent, for the company, shopkeeper or professional who will occupy them. The sale of a business goodwill or a leasehold right belongs to other professionals.
In which cities does Home Select search for premises?
In the major cities where Home Select works, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Montpellier, and in the towns around them; in Paris, the same search is run by homeselect.paris.
Can you buy occupied premises to move in?
Yes, but the sitting tenant keeps the lease until expiry and has a right to renewal; taking the premises back requires, in principle, an eviction indemnity. Home Select reads the lease with you and tells you what taking it back would involve, before the offer.
Do you find off-market premises?
Yes. A share of the premises sought is let or sold without a listing, between owners, notaires and letting networks; Home Select approaches them for you, with its network of 15,000 professional partners.
