Agence Verneuil Immobilier

Located on the street whose name it bears, this neighbourhood agency run by Lysiane Saintville has won a sound reputation over the years on the Left Bank. Benefiting from positioning at the top end of the market, it draws a French and international clientele who appreciate the lifestyle offered by the 6th and 7th arrondissements.

An agency on a human scale, discreet and attentive to its clients’ needs, Verneuil Immobilier plays the ace of proximity. Backed by a team of three, Lysiane Saintville offers clients her astute interpretation of a market she knows very well : “I have been on Rue de Verneuil for almost 25 years, and I do indeed know how this market functions very well. In our agency, we offer properties for sale and to rent, as well as commercial premises, and a rental management service. We do not belong to any network or group, and are thus totally independent. Our clientele has evolved over the years, and is now more largely comprised of French investors. The core of demand comes from families looking for large apartments, and buyers from the provinces in search of a pied-à-terre in Paris. Acquiring bricks and mortar is more than ever a sound investment, and the French are keen to do so. A few months ago, we sold a pretty home of 120 m2 on Boulevard des Invalides, with a private garden-courtyard of 117 m2, within a very fine 18th-C. co-owned property, priced at 2 million euros.” On the subject of the Parisian market, Lysiane Saintville adds : “2019 has been marked by a spectacular rise in prices. Properties of quality sell very quickly, even when prices are sometimes over the top. We are in the most expensive neighbourhood in Paris : on average, the price-bracket within a perimeter from Bon Marché to Quai Voltaire is 15,000 to 20,000 € per sq. metre, prices which can soar further for exceptional properties. In these neighbourhoods, buyers are looking for a quality lifestyle and the village atmosphere that reigns in the streets of Saint-Germain”.
