What should you look for in a villa in Cannes?

Easy access and getting around

Access deserves as much attention as the façade or the pool.

• Check the gradient, driveway width and room to manoeuvre.
• Check the routes between parking, the entrance and the garden.
• Try the journeys that will be part of your daily routine.

Choose grounds that suit your lifestyle

A large plot can be a pleasure or a burden, depending on how much time you can give it.

• Distinguish usable land from hard-to-access areas.
• Assess privacy and views from the main living spaces.
• Obtain an estimate of the maintenance your plans will require.

Plan the technical checks

An appealing viewing does not replace a thorough review of the building and its documents.

• List visible work needed and anything that requires expert inspection.
• Have the relevant utilities and equipment checked.
• Review the documents and what is permitted on the land with the appropriate professionals.
