PARIS | Apartments to Renovate with Great Potential
Buying an apartment to renovate in Paris means choosing an exceptional address and creating an interior entirely to your taste. Discover our selection of properties to renovate or to refresh: large family apartments, Haussmannian apartments and unusual properties with remarkable potential.
The finest opportunities are in the 16th arrondissement, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the 7th and in the 8th. High ceilings, parquet floors, mouldings and good light: when the essentials are there, a renovation reveals the full potential of a property and adapts it to your lifestyle.
An apartment to renovate often means a more accessible purchase price and real design freedom. Our BARNES advisors help you assess the property’s potential and anticipate the works, and support you through to the signing.
Frequently asked questions about buying an apartment to renovate in Paris
Why buy an apartment to renovate in Paris?
To secure a fine address at a price often more accessible than a renovated property, and to design an interior perfectly suited to your needs: layout, materials, fittings and decoration.
What permits are needed for the works?
Works affecting common areas, load-bearing walls or the exterior of the building require the approval of the co-owners’ general meeting and, depending on the case, a prior declaration to the town hall. In protected areas, the opinion of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France may be required.
How can I estimate the renovation budget?
It is advisable to have an architect or a contractor visit the property before making an offer to obtain an initial estimate. The budget depends on the scope of the renovation, the condition of the utilities and the desired level of finish.
How does BARNES support me?
Our advisors identify the properties with the best potential, help you analyse the co-ownership documents and anticipate the works, and support you through to the signing.
