Buying, selling, renting or having a property managed on the Alabaster Coast always raises practical questions: what is the state of the market, which rules apply, what procedures should be planned and in what order ? This blog brings together practical articles on six themes: market trends, property owners’ tax news, renting, seasonal rentals, property management and sales. Each article is based on official sources, cited at the end of the page, and on the local knowledge of an agency established in Veules-les-Roses for over 70 years. For advice tailored to your situation, contact the firm.
The energy audit on sale progressively becomes mandatory for homes rated F or G, then E and D in the DPE. It concerns detached houses and collective buildings under single ownership, with renovation scenarios and their cost.
The Visale guarantee protects landlords by taking over for unpaid rent and, subject to conditions, certain damage, then Action Logement seeks reimbursement from the tenant for the sums paid.
The tourist tax in Veules-les-Roses is payable by the accommodation provider as soon as the commune or intermunicipal authority has introduced it for the accommodation concerned. The local regime then determines collection, declaration and remittance, either at the actual rate or at a flat rate.
A furnished tourist accommodation that is a main residence is subject to a precise framework: declaration of the accommodation according to the local authority, before the national registration planned for the fourth quarter of 2026, SIRET number, a rental-day limit and compulsory equipment.
Social security contributions on property income apply to rent from an unfurnished property and, under specific rules, to individuals’ property capital gains. The rate depends on the type of income and the social security scheme to which you are affiliated.
On the Alabaster Coast, council tax on a second home is due on a furnished property available to you on 1 January, with a possible surcharge in a high-demand area, such as Veules-les-Roses, if the council has adopted it. In the event of an error, you must file a claim.
The tenant’s notice fixes the tenancy end date and the rent still payable: its length varies according to the type of accommodation, the tenant’s circumstances and the details included in the notice. The start date of the period and the supporting documents required may alter its expiry date.
The registration number for furnished tourist accommodation is currently required in local authorities applying the declaration-with-registration system, and will become compulsory everywhere with the national online service planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. Without it, adverts are not compliant.
Faced with unpaid rent, the landlord must act quickly, first, if possible, by seeking an amicable solution, then by serving a demand for payment and initiating court proceedings if the debt persists. Compliance with deadlines and formalities determines whether rent recovery can resume.
The statutory ceiling on the cost of credit granted to an individual is based on the APRC: as soon as it exceeds the applicable threshold, the loan becomes usurious. The usury rate is calculated using the average rates for the previous quarter, increased by one third.
The property sales mandate defines your room for manoeuvre: a non-exclusive mandate to sell alone and entrust the property to several agents, an exclusive mandate for a single intermediary, and a semi-exclusive mandate for a single agent while retaining the ability to sell yourself, depending on the contract.
A rent review according to the IRL is only possible with a clause in the tenancy agreement, on the specified date, within the limit of the annual change in the IRL. It only applies from the date of the request, without retrospective effect, and is lost if it is not requested within the year.
