Brittany · Ille-et-Vilaine
Dinard did not grow from a harbour but from a fashion: British and American families began building villas here in the 1860s, and the resort still owes its housing stock to that origin. A few hundred protected villas, three beaches and a headland facing Saint-Malo: supply is counted, and Parisian and British demand does not slacken.

The essentials
Home Select is a property finder in Dinard, established in 2011, searching for Belle Époque villas and sea-view apartments on the buyer’s behalf alone, from the Pointe du Moulinet to Saint-Énogat. The firm opens access to off-market properties, the rule on a protected villa stock that passes down more often than it is sold. Fees are 100 % on success: nothing is owed before completion.
Dinard at a glance
01The market
In 2025, 333 sales were recorded in Dinard: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses.
After +12% since 2021, the past year pauses (-4%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
Sales range from €3,900/m² to €8,000/m²: address and condition make the price.
The Dinard market rests on a protected stock of villas and a shoreline that no longer extends. The Pointe du Moulinet and the streets around the Écluse beach hold the highest values, carried by the view and by architectural signature; La Malouine and Le Prieuré offer the same register in a quieter fabric.
Alongside the villas there is a real apartment market, largely second homes, where sea view and floor level make the difference. Saint-Énogat and the streets set back open the resort to more measured budgets, minutes from the same beaches.

Describe your project in Dinard02The service
A buyer-side search mandate, a written method, fees due on success. Here is what you entrust to Home Select in Dinard.
They search on your behalf and for you alone: a written brief, sourcing across the whole market and off-market, pre-visits and a technical sheet for every property shortlisted, analysis of the co-ownership, the surveys and the works, price negotiation, checking of every document up to the final deed. Home Select works for the buyer, never for the seller.
A main home, a second home, a pied-à-terre or a buy-to-let investment in Dinard, whether you are on site or abroad: the search is run remotely, video viewings included, up to the decisive viewing.
Two offers, the same full service: the Exclusive offer, an exclusive mandate, 2.5% of the net purchase price, minimum €10,000 incl. VAT, at every budget; the Confidential offer, a simple mandate reserved for projects of €2m and above, 1.5% of the net purchase price, dedicated to off-market properties. In both cases, nothing is due until you have bought.
45 days of search on average, 3 viewings on average instead of more than 40, and a first answer within one working day.

03The neighbourhoods
From the Moulinet to Saint-Briac, five addresses in a resort you cross in minutes, with price gaps the view alone very nearly explains.
The headland closing the Écluse beach: the most prominent villas in the resort, looking across to the walled town and the estuary. A market of a few addresses, rarely available, where the sale is prepared long before any listing.
The great beach with its striped tents, the casino and the shops: characterful apartments and town villas, with the most immediate use of the resort. View and floor level govern values.
The historic villa estate between the Écluse and the sea: wooded plots, Belle Époque architecture and open views. The address of the protected building stock, much sought after and little offered.
To the south, the Prieuré beach, the Clair de Lune promenade and the harbour: a more sheltered register, facing the Rance rather than the open sea, prized for its calm and its evening light.
The village of Saint-Énogat, then the coast towards Saint-Lunaire and Saint-Briac with its golf course: seaside houses and resort villas at more measured values than the Moulinet, on the same shoreline.
The Moulinet and La Malouine: a Belle Époque villa looking towards Saint-Malo or out to sea, within a protected building stock. The rarest segment, largely private.
The Écluse and the centre: a characterful apartment or town villa, with shops, casino and beach a few steps away. The most immediate use.
Le Prieuré and the Clair de Lune: a sheltered register facing the Rance, prized for its late-afternoon light and the marina.
Saint-Énogat, Saint-Lunaire and Saint-Briac: seaside houses and resort villas to the west, at more accessible values.
Three buying profiles to place your own in Dinard. Orientation pointers, which your property finder refines with you at the brief.

Describe your project in Dinard04Living here
Dinard is walked from one beach to the next: the Clair de Lune promenade follows the estuary to the Prieuré, the Pointe du Moulinet closes the Écluse beach and opens the view to Saint-Malo, and Saint-Énogat keeps the air of a village. The villas are there to be seen from the street, and that is part of the pleasure.
The resort lives two seasons. A full summer, with its striped tents, its British film festival in the autumn and its terraces; a quiet winter, when the town closes in on its residents and a district can really be judged. Saint-Malo, its shops and its TGV station are ten minutes away across the Rance barrage.
05Three projects
The same market does not read the same way depending on what you have come for. Here is what each of the three projects means on the ground.
Dinard is a short-season resort: holiday letting carries most of the demand, from June to September, and the commune regulates tourist lettings. The calculation is made on one season, not twelve months, and it is checked against the rules before the offer. On protected villas, the cost of works and energy performance weigh more than the price gap between two properties.
This is the resort’s natural use, and that of most of its buyers: a Belle Époque villa at the Moulinet or in La Malouine, a sea-view apartment near the Écluse, a more sheltered house at the Prieuré. To investigate: exposure to the open-sea wind, the condition of roof and timbers, and consents if the property is protected.
Living in Dinard year-round is possible and it is done, provided you choose a district that holds up out of season: Saint-Énogat and the streets set back keep a village life when the seafront empties. Saint-Malo, its shops, its secondary school and its station are ten minutes away across the Rance barrage: many organise daily life across both banks.
06From abroad
Dinard has its own airport, Dinard-Pleurtuit-Saint-Malo, some ten minutes away, with links to the United Kingdom; Rennes is an hour away and offers a wider European choice. The TGV station at Saint-Malo, ten minutes away across the Rance barrage, puts Paris about two and a quarter hours off. It is that combination, an airport facing England and a train to Paris, that explains the resort’s dual clientele.
The resort was created by foreign visitors and has never lost them: British families began building here in the 1860s and many stayed. English is widely heard, and golf, sailing and the British film festival keep the link alive. For a non-resident buyer this is one of the few French markets where an international clientele is part of local history rather than a friction within it.
Dinard lives a short, intense season from June to September, and a very quiet winter. Properties come to market in spring and after the summer, once the season has passed. For a non-resident buyer, viewing out of season is more than advice: it is the only way to know whether the district you have chosen still holds up in January, when a good many shutters are closed.

Property finder in Dinard
Everything above, we read for you. Everything below, we do for you.
A property finder in Dinard works for the buyer, and the buyer alone: searching, viewing, checking and negotiating on your behalf. The six steps of the search, access to properties that never appear in listings, and our two offers are detailed below.
07The hunt, step by step
Six precise movements, the same for every search, from the brief to the handover of the keys:
Everything starts with a thorough conversation: the use of the property, the real budget, the non-negotiable criteria, the calendar. This written framing becomes the roadmap of the hunt, and avoids the months lost viewing beside the point.
A written brief, and a search launched within the week.
We cover the whole market: published listings, and above all what is never displayed anywhere. Our network of 15,000 professional partners surfaces more than 100 properties for us every day before they go on sale, and we approach owners directly when the setting calls for it.
More than 100 off-market properties surfaced every day by the network.
Every lead is verified, visited or analysed for you: commented video, technical sheet, first figures. You only travel for properties that truly match the brief.
3 viewings on average, instead of 40.
The offer is drafted and defended by Home Select, complete file in hand. The negotiation covers the price, but also the conditions, the timelines and the works revealed.
6% obtained on average off the asking price.
Preliminary contract read line by line, surveys, co-ownership rules, charges, easements: every document is checked before you commit. Local points of vigilance, from the coast to the mountains, are in our checklists.
Every document checked before you commit.
We stay by your side through to the signing before the notaire, and after: contractors, formalities, moving. Our work ends when you are settled in, not when the deed is signed.
45 days on average from the brief to the authentic deed.

What negotiation weighs
Home Select is paid 100% on success: nothing is due until you have bought.
Roof, timbers, joinery, heating and energy performance often weigh more than the price gap between two properties. On a protected villa, works are costed before the offer, with the heritage constraints built in.
Between the exposed headland and the sheltered Prieuré beaches, day-to-day comfort is not the same. Orientation, wind and late-afternoon light are checked on site, at two different times of day.
Dinard in August and Dinard in January are two towns. The right district is the one that suits you in both seasons, especially if you are after regular use rather than a fortnight in summer.
08Off-market properties
A share of the finest sales in Dinard completes without ever being listed. The Home Select network of 15,000 professional partners surfaces more than 100 properties every day before publication, and Home Select also approaches owners directly when the setting calls for it.
These properties are not online: they are shown against a written brief, never a listing. Yours begins with a conversation.

11Your project
Because the local market has its own rules. The designated heritage site protects several hundred villas: façades, roofs and surroundings are governed, and projects go through the Bâtiments de France architect. A property finder works for you alone, on the buyer’s side: daily monitoring, access to off-market sales around Pointe du Moulinet and Écluse beach and the centre, strict shortlisting and negotiation. Since 2011, Home Select has run more than 1,200 searches with this method, rated 4.8/5 on Google.
Based on actual recorded sales (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025), the median price in Dinard stands at €5,500/m² for an apartment and €4,800/m² for a house. The highest-priced sector in our survey: Saint-Lunaire et Saint-Briac, €5,000/m² median. These medians are market benchmarks, not an appraisal: the address, the floor, the condition and scarcity make the final price.
In 2025, 2 rooms traded at a median of €5,300/m² per sqm, on a median surface of 42 sqm (DVF / DGFiP via data.gouv.fr, millésime avril 2026, ventes 2025). A median home of the bracket changes hands around €223,000; condition, floor and address then make the rest of the price.
Notaire fees first: around 7 to 8% of the price on an existing home, 2 to 3% on a new build, paid on the day of signing. Then the finder’s fee, due on success only, and depending on the property the taxe foncière, service charges and a works budget. Home Select prices the whole picture before the offer: the asking price hides nothing. Our notary fees calculator gives the order of magnitude in one line.
Yes, but the market is narrow and largely private: the protected stock is finite, and the finest addresses often change hands without a public listing. That is precisely the ground for a search mandate, through the local network and direct approaches to owners.
Saint-Malo has the TGV station, the town and year-round shops; Dinard has the villa stock, the sheltered beaches and the calm of a resort. The Rance barrage puts ten minutes between them, and many of our clients view both banks before deciding.
In 2025, 333 sales were recorded in Dinard: enough to choose from, never enough for the finest addresses. After +12% since 2021, the past year pauses (-4%): room to negotiate, no reason to worry.
Our searches complete in 45 days on average, with 3 viewings on the client side instead of 40 and about fifteen hours of your time. In Dinard, the monitoring covers Pointe du Moulinet and Écluse beach and the centre from day one, and the calendar, framed at the brief, is held.
Yes, it is Home Select’s daily routine: 30% of its clients are expatriates or international buyers. Video brief, remote shortlisting and commented pre-visits, viewings grouped into a single trip to Dinard, and the team works in French and in English.
Through the network and direct approach: Home Select’s 15,000 professional partners surface more than 100 properties every day before they go on sale, and Home Select also contacts owners when the setting calls for it. In Dinard, the monitoring covers Pointe du Moulinet and Écluse beach and the centre first: that is often where the unfindable property is.
Not all, but several hundred are, under the designated heritage site, and the resort as a whole is governed. In practice: façades, roofs, boundary walls and surroundings are regulated, and any renovation or extension goes through the Bâtiments de France architect. It is a real constraint, and it is also what preserved the stock you have come here to find.
The Moulinet and La Malouine for a front-rank villa and the view, the Écluse and the centre to live the resort on foot, the Prieuré for calm and the light over the estuary, Saint-Énogat and the coast towards Saint-Lunaire for more measured values on the same shoreline.
On the villa segment, yes: the stock is finite, owners know one another, and a fine address often finds a buyer before any advertising. On apartments the market is more open. We work both routes, with the local network for the first.
To hunt in Dinard, check four points: a search mandate on the buyer’s side only, published fees due on success, a written method, proof that lasts. Home Select answers all four: founded in 2011, 1,200+ buyers guided, 4.8/5 on Google (130+ reviews), fees displayed, 100% on success.
Home Select 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. Home Select is paid on success only: nothing is due until you have bought.
