The 5 criteria sought by foreigners in an exceptional Parisian property
The high-end Parisian real estate market is experiencing strong growth. With 75% foreign buyers, Junot Fine Properties I Knight Frank, the department dedicated to ultra-luxury properties in Paris, reveals the characteristics most sought after by this demanding clientele looking for a Parisian home.
Turnkey solutions increasingly sought after
Paris is attracting more than ever wealthy foreign investors in search of exceptional properties. Turnkey properties, already renovated, decorated and « ready to live in », perfectly meet the requirements sought by this clientele, saving them from renovation work and administrative procedures that are often complex for non-residents. This trend represents 56% of sales at Junot Fine Properties I Knight Frank. These properties offer high-end services, including noble materials, tailor-made furnishings, careful finishes, as well as decoration signed by an architect.
A clear view of the monuments of Paris
A breathtaking view of the emblematic monuments of Paris is an essential asset for international buyers looking for luxury goods. These panoramas offer a direct link with Parisian heritage. Own property which offers a direct view of iconic monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe or the Sacré-Cœur, represents much more than a privilege; it is a sign of prestige and refinement.
These unique perspectives allow you to feel connected to the soul of the city, while benefiting from an exceptional living environment. For this wealthy clientele, the presence of these Parisian symbols on the horizon is a determining element in their choice of purchase, making the property even more coveted and exclusive.
A renovation by a renowned architect
Foreign buyers, often very selective, are looking for properties that combine aesthetics with functionality. They are particularly attracted by architectural renovations which, in addition to bringing a modern touch and exceptional living comfort, respect the spirit and character of the place.
A renovation signed by a recognized architect is therefore a key quality criterion. This is not limited to ensure property ownership unique and tailor-made, but also includes an ingenious optimization of spaces, an interior decoration in perfect harmony with current trends, and the use of high-quality materials and components.
A private outdoor space
At Junot Fine Properties I Knight Frank, 75% of the properties sold have gardens or large terraces. Owning a private outdoor space has become a true luxury, particularly appreciated by buyers looking for well-being and comfort. Indeed, outdoor spaces add a valuable dimension to your home, allowing not only to enjoy a pleasant setting to recharge one's batteries, but also to create additional living spaces, perfect for receiving guests or simply savoring the outdoors with complete privacy.
The rarity of these goods in Paris makes these particularly popular opportunities.
The charm of the old combined with modern comfort
The combination of old-fashioned charm and modern comfort is highly sought after by international clients. Properties which retain historic features such as elegant moldings, painted ceilings, period fireplaces and antique parquet floors, as well as a beautiful ceiling height, are particularly popular. These characteristics, associated with Modern amenities such as a high-quality fitted kitchen, full air conditioning and an advanced home automation system, make these properties particularly attractive.
This allows foreign buyers to enjoy an authentic, typically Parisian setting, while benefiting from the comfort standards to which they are accustomed.
