Vieux-Nice is a neighbourhood of renovation opportunities and short-term rental investment. I'm Audrey Hurelle, an independent mortgage broker, and I structure the combined mortgage and renovation finance that purchases here almost always require.
The property market in Vieux-Nice
Compact properties, very old buildings and often no lift: financing a purchase in Vieux-Nice rarely follows the same pattern as a standard apartment.
Holiday-let demand is among the strongest in France, making furnished rental investment attractive, provided it is properly documented.
Banks require contractors' quotes, not rough estimates. This is the first thing we prepare together.
Financing specifics in Vieux-Nice
Mortgage and renovation finance
Contractors' quotes are built into your financing plan, with staged fund releases aligned to progress on site.
Short-term letting
Nice's local regulations, LMNP (non-professional furnished letting) tax rules and lenders counting only part of the rent: I structure everything before submitting your application.
Compact properties
Studios and T2 (one-bedroom apartments) can be readily financed, but some banks set a minimum floor area. I guide you towards those that do not.
