BARNES Life annuities

BARNES is the benchmark when it comes to luxury real estate and is constantly reinventing itself with this in mind, using its know-how and technical expertise to ensure that it remains your preferred partner for all things property. Once a pioneer in bare ownership sales, we are now the leading player in the separation of exceptional properties.

From Paris to the French Riviera and top holiday destinations (Biarritz, Megève, Courchevel, Cap-Ferret and Corsica), real estate is more than ever a safe haven value. Our clientele of private and corporate buyers rely on our expertise to invest without any credit-related condition precedent.

What is the difference between a life annuity sale and a bare ownership sale?

Unlike an occupied life annuity sale, the value of the bare ownership sale is final and is paid in full when the deed of sale is signed. In the case of occupied life annuity, the vendor receives an initial settlement when the deed of sale is signed, followed by additional income over a given period, known as a life annuity.

In what is a very buoyant property market, the time is ripe to consider innovative forms of lump sum payment without rent, which allow vendors to monetise their assets at substantial amounts. Our strong relationships with wealthy buyers and our long-standing presence in the high-end market make Barnes Nue-propriété a pivotal player in its field.
