B Concept Properties is based in Villefranche-sur-Mer and has worked on the Côte d’Azur for more than 10 years, with a focus from Nice to Monaco via Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Èze, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap-d’Ail, and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. English-speaking overseas buyers can receive attentive guidance through property purchases and higher-end local projects.

English

B Concept Properties works the strip between Nice and the Monaco border: Villefranche-sur-Mer, where the office is on avenue Sadi Carnot, then Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze, Cap-d'Ail, La Turbie and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. That is the corridor people search when they work in Monaco and would rather not pay Monaco prices. The agency has been at it for more than ten years and is a small operation: the contact it publishes is a mobile and a personal email rather than a switchboard, so a message sent from another time zone reaches the person who will answer it. One overseas buyer needed contact outside normal hours and days and credits Andrea's English with making that workable.

Budget for the purchase costs on top of the asking price, because they are heavier in France than most arrivals expect. The frais de notaire (completion costs, which are mostly transfer duty rather than the notaire's own fee) come to roughly 7 to 8 per cent on an older property and only 2 to 3 per cent on a new build. On a resale villa along this coast that gap is a serious sum. Ask for the figure in writing early, and check whether the agency commission sits inside the advertised price or on top of it, since both are legal and the listing does not always say which.
