Process of work

Ryan's insight

“Saint-Jean-de-Luz is often seen as a single market centred around the beach, but in reality it’s a collection of very different micro-locations. Living in the pedestrian centre offers energy and convenience, while hillside or peripheral areas provide space and calm – especially during the busy summer months. Buyers sometimes underestimate how factors like parking, access, seasonal density, and daily walkability shape the experience over time. Our role is to clarify these differences early, so the property aligns not only with their vision of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, but with how they truly plan to live and use it year-round.”

Recently we acquired a charming village house for our family in the centre of Bidart, near Biarritz, on the Basque Coast. Such a decision is not only a matter of money and value but first and foremost a matter of trust - especially as the entire process had to be managed from abroad as we live in Vienna, Austria. Through facilitating an individual decision making process Ryan provided a tailor made solution in accordance with all our personal preferences! In addition to that we experienced his reliable and proactive support throughout the legal and financial procedures! We are still in good contact with Ryan and would always come back to him for any kind of real estate solutions!

From the moment we met Ryan at Buyer’s Agent France, he went out of his way to find out exactly what we were looking for. He was very patient with us despite all our silly questions and then spent a day viewing properties. His professional and personal approached filled us with great confidence. Despite not being the selling agent for our property, he acted on our behalf as an intermediary. We are now enjoying our first holiday in our Praz sur Arly apartment near Megeve and could not be happier. He also introduced us to a great notaire in Sallanches. We are so fortunate to have stepped into his office! To find our dream home in The French Alps!

Simply brilliant! - only showed me properties in The French Alps relevant to my criteria and made the whole purchasing process so easy. Highly recommended.

Having spent many years searching independently for a property in France we came across Ryan at Buyer's Agent France and never looked back. He took our requirements and built a weekend of property viewings that surpassed our expectations, resulting in us buying our beautiful farm house near Forcalquier in Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur. Many thanks Ryan we couldn't have done it without you.

Buy to Rent / Invest in St Jean de Luz

Saint-Jean-de-Luz represents a mature and prestigious coastal market. Houses generally trade between €6,000 and €10,000 per m², with exceptional bay-front villas going for more. Apartments in the historic centre or along the beachfront command premium pricing relative to further inland neighbourhoods.

Rental demand here tends to be seasonal, peaking from late spring through early autumn, driven by beach tourism, sailing culture, and cross-border visitors. Properties that have outdoor spaces like

terraces, sea views, and walking access to the town centre consistently outperform.

Note: Rental figures are indicative and vary by property type, micro-location, and management approach.

Long-Term Value in St Jean de Luz

Saint-Jean-de-Luz remains one of the most stable residential markets on France’s Atlantic coastline. In prime sectors, property prices continue to outperform broader regional benchmarks, particularly along the bay and in established central districts.

Key Drivers:

  • Severe constrained supply of frontline coastal homes
  • Sustained demand from local and international second-home buyers
  • Protected bay, offering beach appeal
  • Strong cultural identity and architectural continuity

Purchasing property in Saint-Jean-de-Luz is widely regarded as a long-term residential commitment, supported by sustained demand, constrained coastal supply, and enduring market stability that underpins capital preservation over time.
