A complete guide to selling your prestigious Paris property — from confidential valuation to final signature. Trusted by owners in the 6th, 7th, 8th and 16th arrondissements.
Selling a luxury apartment in Paris requires a fundamentally different approach to the standard residential market. The buyers are international, the due diligence is more complex, and the presentation standards are higher. With the right agency and the right strategy, well-presented properties in the premium arrondissements sell within 4 to 12 weeks.
The starting point is always a precise market appraisal. At LuxuryFlatInParis, Sami Saab conducts every valuation personally — visiting your property, analysing recent comparable transactions in your sub-district, and providing a detailed written assessment of realistic market value and expected sale timeline. No algorithms. No automated estimates.
You can instruct LuxuryFlatInParis on a simple (non-exclusive) or exclusive mandate. Exclusive mandates consistently achieve better results — they allow us to control the marketing strategy, protect your price and prevent the property from appearing overexposed on the market. For clients requiring discretion, we offer fully off-market mandates with no public listings.
First impressions are everything in the luxury market. We coordinate professional architectural photography, detailed floor plans, and where relevant, a 3D virtual tour. Your property is presented in a bespoke digital brochure distributed to our qualified buyer network before any public listing.
LuxuryFlatInParis distributes your property across all major international luxury portals — LuxuryEstate, PropertyFinder, JamesEdition, Rightmove Overseas — and through our direct network of international buyers, relocation agencies and family offices. The right buyer for a Paris 16 or 8th arrondissement property is often based in London, Dubai, New York or Singapore — not Paris.
When offers are received, we manage the negotiation on your behalf — qualifying buyers, reviewing financial capacity, and structuring terms that protect your interests. In the Paris luxury market, it is common for multiple parties to express interest simultaneously; skilled offer management is essential to achieving the best outcome.
Once an offer is accepted, your notaire prepares the compromis de vente. The buyer pays a deposit of 5–10%, and the process moves to the due diligence period (typically 2–3 months), followed by the final acte de vente. LuxuryFlatInParis coordinates closely with your notaire throughout.
For French tax residents, capital gains on the sale of a primary residence are fully exempt. For secondary properties and non-residents, a capital gains tax (plus-value immobilière) applies, with progressive exemptions based on length of ownership — full exemption after 30 years. LuxuryFlatInParis works with specialist tax advisors to optimise your position.
