Buying Property in Nice
Where to buy property in Nice
Nice is famous as a desirable holiday home destination that enjoys a great climate, stunning natural beauty and a glamorous clientele. But as well as being the main city along the Côte d’Azur, Nice has a role as a parallel life as a commercial centre and university town which means property investors have rental opportunities outside of the traditional holiday season.
As the major airport hub of the region, it is easy to travel there quickly and cheaply from the UK for weekend breaks too. The rest of the Riviera is easy to reach along the coastal roads, resorts such as St. Tropez and Cannes, as are the popular and equally classy resorts in Italy such as San Remo and Portofino.
The popular properties close to the sea or with sea views here do, as with the rest of the coast, command a premium in a region which is second only to Paris in the French property price league. For those on a budget, being prepared to compromise means that you should get more for your money by looking.
There are new-build developments in and around the town, too, for those looking for brand new properties, and buying off-plan can be an excellent investment. A ‘leaseback’ scheme can offer guaranteed returns and provide exemption from VAT on the purchase price of a new-build property, making a home in Nice that much more affordable.
