A private office for Australians owning in France

You want a home in Provence, the Alps, or on the Riviera. But between the dream and the reality sits a foreign legal system, unfamiliar tax obligations, language barriers, and 16,000 kilometres of distance. Every decision — from the compromis de vente to the plumber — requires someone local who knows how things work and who's working for you.

Why we exist

Most Australian buyers in France are left to assemble their own team: a buyer's agent here, a notaire there, a property manager, a tax advisor, a contractor. Each operates in their own silo. Nobody sees the full picture. Things fall through the cracks.

yes.house was built to solve that problem. We're a single, dedicated team that works on your side across the entire ownership journey — from finding the right property and structuring the purchase, through to setting it up, managing it year-round, coordinating works, and handling the administration that never stops.

We are not a concierge service. We are not a real estate agency. We are the trusted local operator who makes French property ownership work for people who live in Australia.

How we work

We operate like a private office for your property. You have one point of contact who coordinates everything — legal, fiscal, technical, trades, and day-to-day operations. We don't just connect you with local providers. We vet them, brief them, manage them, and hold them accountable.

Our approach is built on three commitments:

Transparency. You always know what's happening, what it costs, and why. No surprises, no hidden fees, no lost-in-translation moments.

Discretion. Your property is your private affair. We treat it accordingly.

Permanence. We're not project-based. We're a long-term partner. Most of our clients have worked with us for years — and that's by design.

The team

Our team combines French property expertise with cross-border experience. We understand Australian expectations — direct communication, clear pricing, reliable follow-through — and we know how to get things done within the French system.

We're based in France with a trusted network across every region where our clients buy. We operate in English and French, and we bridge the gap between the two in every sense.
