Investment & Change of Owner

Back to Real Estate

Property prices in the Principality have risen constantly since 2010 and have reached record heights, making Monaco one of the most expensive property markets in the world per square metre and a highly sought-after investment target.

Our team regularly advises and assists owners, buyers and banks with all their purchases and sales of real estate property and rights in Monaco and in France. We have a thorough grasp of the various mechanisms for buying, optimising and transferring real estate assets of all kinds and the associated tax implications, particularly when it comes to Monegasque or foreign companies owning real property.

We also work closely with our banking law team to advise clients on project financing, including guarantees and mortgages.

We assist sellers, buyers and real estate agents with any disputes relating to the sale of a building or of assets with underlying real estate issues. We are also experts in the field of foreclosure.
