Can a foreigner buy property in Cannes?

Currently, there are no restrictions for foreigners buying property in France. However, if you decided, for example, to buy apartment in Cannes directly from the owner, you may face encumbrances, difficulties in proper registration and an inflated cost (sometimes the price is twice the price that can be offered to a French citizen).

From the moment the pre-contract has been signed, it takes on average 2,5 months for the whole purchasing property in Cannes process to be completed.
