French fancies! Luxury agent opens new offices in south of France

Beauchamp Estates has opened two new offices in the south of France.

The prime luxury agent is now located in the luxury resorts of Mougins and St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, aiming to capitalise on the post-pandemic return of international buyers to the French Riviera. 

The two new offices, known as Beauchamp Estates Mougins and Beauchamp Estates Cap Ferrat, offer sales, lettings and property management services and each are situated in ultra-prime locations. 

They complement the existing Beauchamp Estates offices on the French Riviera which are located in Cannes and St Tropez, opened in 2007 and 2020 respectively. 

The new offices are led and overseen by Adrien Willing-Lamy, managing director of Beauchamp Estates (France), supported by a team of sales and lettings managers and negotiators and property management staff.  

Willing-Lamy said: “Beauchamp Estates (France) is delighted to open our new offices in Mougins and St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, alongside our existing branches in Cannes and St Tropez. We now have four offices along the French Riveria which underlines how the brand has become an influential leader in the ultra-prime residential market in the South of France.” 

“Since the end of the Covid-19 pandemic we have seen a surge in pent-up-demand and ultra-prime property values along the French Riviera have risen by 15% to 20%.“Over the past 12 months we have seen the return of international buyers especially wealthy purchasers from the USA, Middle East, UK, Switzerland and Nordic countries. We have opened the two new offices in order to capitalise on this upturn and enable Beauchamp Estates (France) to provide our clients with even better local customer care.” 

Gary Hersham, founding director of Beauchamp Estates, added: “Our two new office openings in the South of France will help to further increase our strong brand presence and share of the ultra-prime sales and lettings market on the French Riviera.

"The new offices also enable us to continue to enhance and deliver the high standards of customer service across the Cote d’Azur that our clients expect from Beauchamp Estates.”

“One of the results of the pandemic is that clients learnt to work from anywhere in the world and operate their business interests from home or the office. As a result of this transformation our clients looking at buying or renting luxury homes on the French Riviera are increasingly looking at having second homes rather than purely summer vacation homes, where they can work remotely, whilst enjoying a change of scene and sunshine lifestyle.”
