Prince Charming made quite sure the slipper fit before proposing to Cinderella. And you too should make sure it's a perfect fit before buying a luxury home on the Riviera. After all you would never buy a luxury car without test driving it. Or a designer wedding dress without multiple fittings. Yet bizarrely most people rush into buying the most expensive item of their lives, sometimes after only a single viewing, and with no idea if it really is the right property for them. With The Try Before You Buy approach to buying luxury private villas in the south of France you can now try your property on and subsequently make a sensible, confident, happy and long term purchase.

How does it work? Try Before You Buy is a very simple but a very effective concept. All you have to do is choose one of the many Luxury&Family's Riviera properties, one that you feel may best meet you and your family's needs, then instead of buying it you simply rent it first. And by actually living in the property before you buy it you will get a real feeling of whether it will work, or not, as a future home.

You will have time to properly answer many important questions. Is the swimming pool deep enough to dive into? Are the room dimensions practical? Does the sun hit the terrace at the right time of day? Do you get road noise? And then if you are happy to make a purchase, not only will you be confident that you have found the perfect home, L&F will also refund you the full sum of your rent; no matter how long you've stayed.

Now you no longer have to risk hundreds of thousands,
or even millions, of Euros on a ‘first date'. You don't have to be one of the many people who buy the first luxury property that catches their imagination; usually when on holiday and after a few cocktails on a perfect Mediterranean summer's day. And don't be that person who a few weeks later, once the honeymoon is over, wishes they had known more about the house and its surrounding region before signing that very large cheque.

So whether it's an elegant seafront apartment, a luxury villa set in the hills or a charming townhouse in a ‘village perchée', consider the option of renting it first. Because watching your twin boys slide down a glass staircase and your dog run into the floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows may quickly turn your dream home into a nightmare. And this is exactly why L&F have created Try Before You Buy.
