Buying a villa or a house in Cap Ferret

What budget should you plan for in each village?

Based on sales signed before a notary from 2019 to 2025, a house away from the waterfront sold for an average of €4,900/m² in Lège, €8,900/m² in Claouey, €9,400 to €11,800/m² between Les Jacquets and La Vigne, and €18,100/m² in Cap Ferret village. Waterfront houses are a market of their own. The full table is in our article on price per m² by village (in French).

How does buying work, and who pays the agency fees?

You make a written offer, then sign a preliminary contract (a compromis or a promesse de vente), after which you have ten days to withdraw. The sale is completed by a deed signed before a notary, in person or by power of attorney. Our fees are at most 5% of the sale price including VAT, payable by the buyer unless otherwise agreed. Timescales, powers of attorney and notary fees are covered in our guide to buying in Cap Ferret from a distance (in French).

Can you buy a cabin in an oyster village?

No. In the nine oyster villages, the cabins stand on public maritime land owned by the State: they are occupied under a personal permit issued by the mayor, which cannot be sold. A wooden village house on a private plot, on the other hand, is sold like any other house. Our article on oyster cabins and village houses (in French) explains how to tell them apart.
