FAQ

Buying in Monaco: the basics.

Can a foreigner buy property in Monaco?

Yes, there are no restrictions for EU citizens and most other nationalities. The deed is always received by a Monaco notary and the steps between offer, preliminary agreement and deed follow local practice. We guide you through each step, working with professionals in the Principality.

What does buying in Monaco cost on top of the price?

For a purchase by a private individual, transfer costs are around 6% of the price, including registration duties and notary fees; purchases through a company carry a higher rate. Exact amounts should always be confirmed with the notary before making an offer.

Does buying property in Monaco grant residency?

No. Residency follows a separate procedure with its own requirements; having a home is one of them but is not sufficient on its own. We can introduce you to specialised advisors.

Do you handle off-market properties?

Yes. A significant share of transactions in the Principality happens discreetly. Tell us what you are looking for and we will also present off-market opportunities, respecting the sellers' privacy.
