Selling a gîte complex in France sounds simple… until you try it.
Today we’re looking at why these multi-unit properties — longères, courtyard groups, converted barns and small clusters of cottages — are often much harder to sell than people expect.
If you’re a vendor, this video will help you understand why the market reacts the way it does, why buyer expectations can be very different from your own, and what realistic strategies actually work.
If you’re a buyer, we’ll look at the things people often overlook:
• turnover vs asking price
• whether a complex really works as a business
• when découpe (splitting into separate houses) is possible — and when it isn’t
• what to consider before committing to several gîtes on one plot
• why buying one house + an extra unit nearby can be a safer approach
Whether you’re looking in Brittany, Normandy, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, or anywhere in rural western France, the same principles apply.
This video keeps things simple, realistic, and practical — without panic, hype, or hidden drama. Just straightforward advice from experience.
