What are the benefits of buying a Hôtel Particulier in Bordeaux?

First of all a Hôtel Particulier (known as a mansion in English), since the 18^th century, is a large family home belonging to only one very rich owner.

This type of luxurious dwelling, very French, is a house built in the center of a city, as Bordeaux, who is home to a great deal of Hôtels Particuliers because of its favourable history with the bourgeois society and families.

This type of property has a very high demand by investors because they offer the possibility, due to their large rooms, to divide the main building and create multiple dwellings (i.e. apartments) and thus giving the investor/purchaser the opportunity to generate further income by renting them out.

The other possibility is to do short term rentals for tourists visiting one of the biggest tourist attractions in France : Bordeaux.

The features of a Hôtel Particulier are firstly they are located in a city, secondly the habitable space of these dwellings is laid out on several thousands of square ft and often with a private courtyard or a garden.

The hôtel particulier has been seducing more and more investors as they are charming bourgeois homes full of history, unique and spacious with many possibilities as the creation of a bigger sitting room, a dressing room, master suites…

They are often located in the popular and rich neighbourhoods.

The hôtel particulier is a great long-term investment, whether it be for a family home or to rent out.
