Your house

A Biarritz house always has a history

Every house here belongs to a precise generation: the villas born of the imperial division of 1881, the Bidache stone houses of the Belle Époque, the néo-basque homes of the interwar years, the post-war constructions, the work of contemporary architects. A buyer pays for what they understand, and they understand all the better when we tell them which period the house belongs to, whose hand drew it, what has been reworked since and what has been kept. Our first task is to establish exactly that, before value is even discussed.

Placing your house

We establish the generation of the building, the true registered footprint, the orientation room by room, the condition of the materials and, where the house is signed, the identity of its architect. That reading becomes the valuation, and above all the story the buyer will hear.

Buyers already searching

We are currently working with buyers in Biarritz, some of whom have long been looking for a house of a particular period and quarter. Your property is presented to them by name, with the context that gives it value in their eyes.

A sale that stays between us

At the most visible addresses in Biarritz, most owners prefer that nothing be displayed. We then market within the circle of our buyers alone, and you keep the option of widening later if you wish.

One person throughout

Surveys, presentation, viewings, notaire, completion: the same person follows your file from the first meeting to the handing over of the keys, and stays reachable in between.

Sector by sector

What gives a house its value in Biarritz

Côte des Basques & Saint-Charles

The coast and the former Quartier Impérial: period and signature count as much as the view.

Le Phare & Golf

On the heights, open outlook and proximity to the course make most of the value.

Lac Marion

Around the park, value rests on the garden, the quiet and schools within walking distance.

Beaurivage & Milady

To the south, the old fishing quarter and the approaches to the family beaches.

Grande Plage & Impératrice

The houses inherited from the 1881 division, where every plot has its own history.

You show the buyer the mark of the original floor level in the stairwell, the one you spotted on your very first day, and you can see from their face that they have understood what they are buying.

Our method

How we conduct your sale

We come and see

A visit with no commitment. We record what founds the value — period, materials, footprint, orientation, successive interventions — and we listen to what you know about the house. The valuation follows, reasoned point by point.

We document your house

Photographs taken at the right hour, a description that conveys the property's history and not only its volumes, and where useful the archive material attesting to a signature or a date. A buyer buys better what we explain to them.

We present to chosen buyers

Targeted marketing or a sale reserved for our network, according to what you have decided. Every candidate is met and their funding checked before they cross your threshold.

We lead the negotiation

We carry your position and your arguments before the buyer and their adviser, through to the preliminary contract and then the notaire. You know where your file stands at all times, at every stage and through the quieter moments.

Frequently asked

What sellers ask us

No. The 1881 division left Biarritz with plots of markedly uneven size: two houses of the same floor area may sit on grounds of no comparable order. We start from the address, the shape of the ground, the generation of the building and its condition, and what the house offers in its own right. A reasoned valuation, never a price grid.

From the building itself: the materials, the structure, the proportions, the mouldings. The land registry and local archives complete the reading. On signed houses, the architect's identity is an element of value that we establish and document.

Rarely in depth. With older Biarritz houses, buyers often seek authenticity and prefer to make their own choices. We tell you plainly, at the first visit, what is worth reworking and what gains from being left as it is.

Yes. Many Biarrot owners choose this route: we then present the house to our circle of buyers alone, and you remain free to widen the marketing at any time.

Agreed in advance, transparent, and due only once the sale is signed. The fee schedule is given to you at our first meeting.
