The search begins....

Once formally instructed we get down to the all important search process. In Paris there is (unfortunately for the buyer) no market-wide database of properties for sale (like the multiple listing system in the USA) and your perfect apartment in the Marais might well be listed with an estate agency on the Left Bank, on the other side of town!

Bonapart’s knowledge of Parisian estate agents and other property sources ensures we leave no stone unturned in finding you that property with the Wow factor. We are constantly in contact with our networks and alerted immediately when suitable property comes on the market, often before it goes into the window of the shop. We cover all available sources: Internet, private sale listings, trade journals, word of mouth, you name it.

We aim to save you time and hassle and you’ll visit only those properties that really match your requirements. We’re conscious we need to maximise your time and show you only those we’ve cherry-picked which truly fit your requirements. At this stage we also provide a detailed analysis of price relative to market valuations, property taxes and monthly charges.
