Process of work

Ryan's insight

“Dordogne is not one uniform market — it’s a mosaic of villages, valleys, and countryside settings. A beautiful stone house can feel idyllic for holidays but impractical for year-round use or rentals if access, layout, or maintenance are underestimated. We guide clients through these realities early, so the property supports both their lifestyle and long-term objectives.”

CLIENT REVIEWS & CASE STUDIES

I contacted Ryan at Buyer’s Agent France to help me find a property in The Luberon in Provence. I’m French, so language wasn’t an issue, however busy work and family life in Paris meant I didn’t have the time to view and shortlist properties I work in the luxury industry, so instantly saw the value in what Buyer’s Agent France offers. Ryan selected and pre-viewed several properties, helped us select a few that really matched and negotiated with the British vendors on our behalf when we found our dream home in one of the Luberon’s charming hillside villages. The whole process was smooth and stress-free ; exactly as I’d hoped it would be. I would recommend Buyer’s Agent France if you’re looking to purchase a property anywhere in The South of France.

Ryan is a trustworthy property professional and was indispensable in finding, negotiating, and closing on our estate in Saint Remy de Provence. I'm certain without him we would have given up altogether. I would recommend Ryan to anyone serious about finding and buying a home in The South of France.

We absolutely love our new house in the wine village of Rasteau in Provence and have managed to visit each month for about a week. Each time we don’t want to come home! We are getting to know the neighbours and our French is slowly improving. Do keep in touch and thanks again for finding us our lovely home.

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 Dordogne

Dordogne offers a very different investment profile from coastal or alpine markets. Houses typically trade between €1,500 and €3,500/m², with premium restored estates reaching higher levels in the most sought-after villages.

Seasonal rental demand is well established, driven by international tourism, particularly from spring through early autumn. Large stone homes with pools, views, and character tend to perform best, with demand concentrated in peak holiday periods.

Rental performance depends heavily on property condition, accessibility, and presentation, rather than proximity to a single hotspot.

Note: Rental figures are indicative and vary greatly by property type, location, and management strategy.

Long-Term Value in Dordogne

Dordogne remains one of France’s most attractive regions for heritage-driven property ownership. Long-term value is underpinned by scarcity of well-preserved stone homes, international lifestyle demand, and protected landscapes.

Key drivers include:

  • Limited supply of high-quality historic properties

  • Strong appeal to foreign buyers seeking authenticity and space

  • Lifestyle value centred on culture, gastronomy, and nature

  • Micro-location quality that protects value over time

While price growth is typically steadier than in resort markets, Dordogne continues to attract buyers focused on capital preservation, lifestyle quality, and long-term ownership rather than short-term speculation.
