Housing market

On a regular basis you will find properties for sale on this site.

Up until recently tourism in the north of the Aveyron was an underexploited activity. Accessibility was mediocre and holidaymakers preferred to go towards the Lot and the Dordogne (to the west) or towards the Ardêche (to the east).

The completion of the A20 motorway in the direction of Toulouse and the Millau bridge on the A71, as well as the regular flights from London (daily) and Dublin (twice a week) to Rodez by Ryanair have brought a quick change in this situation.

More and more people are discovering this charming region and many of them are searching for a holiday cottage. The local housing market offers mainly old farmhouses, mostly needing restoration. The number of properties available through estate agents and notaries is rather limited. Fortunately the real market is larger than these obvious sources, provided that one has the right information and contacts. Gestion d'Olt disposes of a vast network and would be glad to help you find a suitable house.

To English standards prices are very moderate. As a potential buyer you should nevertheless be aware of restoration costs and not get carried away by an advantageous purchase price. The properties concerned mostly need a lot of work to be done. Already restored houses , for as far as available, are still not very expensive, but they might not be redone the way you would prefer, so, there will probably still be works to be undertaken.

Professional advice about restoration and the costs involved is indispensable. Gestion d'Olt has the experience necessary to assist you in this matter.
