FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What rental yield can I expect on the French Riviera?
Rental yield varies by city and property type: generally between 3 and 5% in the most sought-after areas such as Nice or Cannes, and higher on properties needing renovation or in outlying areas. Our personalised yield assessment refines this estimate for each project.
Should I invest in resale or new-build property on the French Riviera?
Both options have their strengths: resale property often offers a better location and a more accessible purchase price, while new-build property comes with reduced notary fees and guaranteed specifications. We help you weigh these up based on your budget and goals.
What is the furnished-rental (LMNP) status and what advantages does it offer an investor?
The non-professional furnished-rental status allows you to let a furnished property while benefiting from favourable taxation on your rental income, through depreciation of the property and furniture.
Which towns should I favour for a holiday-letting investment?
Nice, Antibes, Cannes and Villefranche-sur-Mer see strong tourist demand all year round, making them sought-after areas for holiday letting, subject to compliance with local regulations in force.
How does Asset Boulevard select the properties it offers its investor clients?
Through our network of more than 500 partner agencies (Côte d'Azur MLS, international LeadingRE network) and our in-depth knowledge of the Riviera market, we identify opportunities that are often off-market and meet the criteria of a profitable rental investment.
