Sell a luxury villa in Cannes
Entrust the sale of your prestige villa or apartment in Cannes to a single point of contact, from valuation to signing.
Selling your property in Cannes
In Cannes, value is read first in the area. A villa overlooking the bay on the Californie hill, a waterfront apartment on the Croisette, and a characterful home in Le Suquet are not positioned the same way. Liberty House visits your property, gauges its location, view and condition, then provides a reasoned valuation and a clear marketing plan.
We prepare your property before any listing, with careful photography, an accurate description and a focus on Cannes strengths, from the view of the Lérins islands to the closeness of the Palais des Festivals or Port Canto. The listing is then presented to a network of qualified buyers, in France and abroad, confidentially if you prefer.
Throughout the mandate, a single point of contact arranges viewings, screens candidates, leads the negotiation and supports you to the notary. Discretion comes first, including during the city’s highlights such as the Festival or the major trade shows.

FAQ
Selling in Cannes, your questions
How is my property in Cannes valued?
We visit your property, assess its area, condition and features and set it against comparable market references, then provide a reasoned valuation and a marketing plan suited to Cannes, in strict confidence.
Does the area change the valuation in Cannes?
Yes. From La Californie to the Croisette, from Le Suquet to Pointe Croisette, price references differ from one area to the next. We value your property against sales in its own area, not against an average for the whole of Cannes.
Is the valuation confidential and without obligation?
Yes. The valuation is carried out in full confidentiality and commits you to nothing, and you stay free to decide what comes next. We share only what you agree to make visible.
Which documents are needed to sell in Cannes?
Depending on the property, this covers the title deed, mandatory surveys, the latest property tax and, for a co-owned home, the regulations, meeting minutes and charge statements. We hand you the full list at the valuation stage.
How long does a sale take in Cannes?
The timeline depends on the property, the area and the asking price. At the valuation we give you a realistic benchmark and a marketing plan, without committing you to a meaningless figure.
What are your fees in Cannes?
Our transaction fees are payable by the buyer and are not deducted from your net selling price. The rate and terms are on our Fees page and in the sale mandate.

What differs here
Local taxes and planning in Cannes
Sale law is national. Local taxation and planning rules are not. Here is what is specific to this town, with the official source and its date.
Council tax on second homes in Cannes
no surcharge
Cannes applies no increase to the municipal share of the second-home council tax, where Nice and Antibes both vote one. The 2026 DGFiP record shows no rate for the town.
At comparable rateable value, a Cannes second home escapes an annual surcharge its neighbours apply.

Property tax and transfer duties in Cannes
27.12% (municipal share, 2026 rate)
The municipal property tax rate voted for 2026 stands at 27.12% for the municipal share alone. The municipal rate sits in the upper half of the towns we cover, although the city votes no second-home surcharge.
Both lines must be added up to compare Cannes fairly with its neighbours.

52 natural disaster orders between 1982 and 2024
