Résidence principale ou secondaire : quel type d’achat pour vous ?
Dreaming of settling down in Provence or owning a holiday home there?
Whether you are considering a primary residence or a secondary residence, each option offers its own advantages… but suits different needs.
Terres de Provence Immobilier, your local agency in Aups, helps you make the right choice.
Primary Residence in the Var: Stability, Comfort, and Quality of Life
Choosing a primary residence in the Var means enjoying an exceptional lifestyle in a region full of authentic charm. Between the hills of the Haut-Var, forests, vineyards, and iconic villages such as Aups, Tourtour, Lorgues, and Salernes, the quality of life is unmatched.
The advantages of a primary residence:
- Only one property to manage, meaning no additional costs linked to maintaining two homes.
- Access to attractive financing options: specific home loans, zero-interest loans (subject to conditions), and local financial assistance.
- An ideal setting for remote work, family life, or retirement, offering peace, nature, and nearby amenities.
Points to consider:
- Living in the region year-round generally requires either a local professional activity or a reliable remote working setup.
- A primary residence offers less geographical flexibility than a secondary home.
Secondary Residence in Provence: Pleasure, Freedom… and a Smart Investment
Every year, Provence attracts thousands of visitors drawn by its climate, gastronomy, landscapes, and relaxed lifestyle.
Buying a secondary residence in the Var means enjoying a sunny retreat… while making a long-term investment.
The advantages of a secondary residence:
- A getaway home for holidays, weekends, or spontaneous escapes.
- The opportunity to generate rental income through seasonal rentals, which are highly sought after in the region.
- A solid property investment: the Haut-Var real estate market remains attractive and dynamic.
Points to consider:
- A secondary residence involves additional costs, maintenance, and taxes.
- Managing a property remotely can be more demanding, although concierge and property management services make things much easier.
Primary or Secondary Residence: Which Option Is Right for You?
Your choice depends on your real estate goals:
- Want to live in Provence year-round? A primary residence is the best option.
- Looking for both an investment and a holiday home? Choose a secondary residence.
Good to know: it is entirely possible to convert a secondary residence into a primary residence as your plans evolve!
