Deauville · Second home
Home Select, a prestige buyer’s agent, sets out the rules of a second home in Deauville: the first destination of demanding Parisians, villa or apartment by usage, upkeep during absence, and year-round weekends. The guide to a pied-à-terre genuinely used.
Updated on 16 October 2026
A first confidential conversation, with no commitment
01Second home
It is the market’s founding vocation: golden-triangle villa, sea-facing apartment, Trouville house. Two hours from Paris, the second home there is genuinely used, weekends included, and the direct train makes alternation possible: that is what sets Deauville apart from distant shorelines.
The choice plays on usage: the golden-triangle villa for weekends and summer, the Planches apartment for remote management, the Trouville house for year-round life as Paris recedes.

02Second home
Deauville lives on a long season and year-round weekends, and the second home there genuinely serves. The market’s technical point: old villas, roof frames and façades, whose upkeep during absence is budgeted before the offer.
Home Select’s finders assess this subject from the selection onward: real charges, condition of villa or building, upkeep to plan. The right Deauville pied-à-terre is the one whose file was read before the offer, not after the summer.
Prestige, weekends, summer: the market summit, upkeep in mind.
Les Planches and the seafront: the Channel on foot, the simplest remote management.
Character and year-round life, a fifth cheaper: the authentic alternative.
03Second home
The market has two peaks: spring, April to June, and the September rentrée, punctuated by the yearling sales. The summer high season slows viewings. For a remote buyer, often Parisian or foreign, the winter brief prepares the spring shortlist, the direct train making every trip easy.

On the ground
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.
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.
Surveys, co-ownership rules, easements, local building specifics: every document is checked before you commit.
Both are billed only if the property is found and the purchase completed.
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.
The Exclusive offer
Simple search mandate
1.5% of the net purchase price, projects from €2M + 10% of the negotiated reduction
The very same full service, on a selection made exclusively of off-market properties. For buyers who never want to see their search on a portal.
The Confidential offerBy usage: the golden-triangle villa for prestige and summer, the Planches apartment for the sea on foot and simple management, the Trouville house for year-round life, then the Belle Époque coast from Villers to Cabourg for space. Two hours from Paris, the home there is genuinely used.
Technical condition first: on a half-timbered Norman villa, the roof frame, the timber framing and the roof should be surveyed, and their upkeep, with the house closed part of the year, costed before making an offer. Then real charges and the co-ownership bylaw for a Planches apartment. Home Select assesses these lines from the selection onward, systematically.
The villa demands the upkeep an absence imposes, roof frame, façade, garden; the sea-facing apartment manages from a distance with the minimum. Real usage, frequency of stays and logistics tolerance decide: the first question Home Select settles.
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.
