Description

A45164RPD37 - A 16th-century building in the heart of Azay-le-Rideau

Located in the historic centre of Azay-le-Rideau, famed for its UNESCO-listed Renaissance château, this 16th-century stone building enjoys a prime location: local shops within 50 metres, SNCF train station (Tours in 25 minutes) a 15-minute walk away, and 200 m from the banks of the river Indre. Corner building, listed as Heritage.

Property composition

The property is held in single ownership, spans three levels, and comprises four independent apartments, an inner courtyard and a vaulted cellar. Approximately 196 m² of living space, with a total ground area of approximately 280 m² including courtyard and cellar.

- Ground floor: apartment of approximately 57 m²
- Garden level (duplex): approximately 44 m² with courtyard access
- First floor: apartment of approximately 57 m²
- Second floor: apartment of approximately 49 m²

Remarkable energy performance for a period building

All apartments achieve EPC ratings C or D, with exceptionally low greenhouse gas emissions (ratings A and B, i.e. 4 to 7 kg CO /m²/year). No unit is classified as an energy-inefficient property: no mandatory energy works required, no future restrictions on letting. Interior insulation, double glazing and modern mechanical ventilation ensure lasting comfort. Electric inertia heating and electric water heaters throughout.

Rental situation and yield

All four apartments are currently let, with leases in place and tenants in residence. All tenant insurance policies are up to date. Based on the net seller price, the gross yield is approximately 7%. For an investor, this immediate rental income provides a productive investment from the day of signing, with no vacancy to manage.

Versatile use

Continue as a rental investment property, with immediate income;
Possible conversion in the longer term to furnished tourist accommodation or aparthotel use (subject to local regulations and termination of existing leases), a thriving market in the Loire Valley;
Possible future reunification as a family home or distinctive second residence, with the inner courtyard preserved.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
