People love Chamonix, and its not hard to see why, great skiing for all levels and abilities, a beautiful town and stunning scenery, year round season and an hour away from Geneva airport are just some of the reasons we get more enquiries for property to buy in Chamonix than anywhere else. If you're looking to buy here's my checklist of questions to ask yourself before you get on the plane:
- What are you buying for? Investment, personal use or a bit of both? get this right before you go and you'll narrow your search to certain areas instantly. You'll also know what your budget is.
- Do you want to be ski-in, ski-out? If you are, then Chamonix may not be right for you, Most properties rely on the ski bus to get to the lifts.
- Lively or not? Central Chamonix is busy and non stop for large portions of the year. If you dont want this, choose a quieter area with more local amenities
- New or Old? Chamonix has a tiny fraction of new build property, so be prepared to look at older property to renovate, or at the very least set a realistic timescale for your search.
Answer these questions and you'll save a lot of time looking at properties that aren't right for you. Agents like focus, and we'll pull out our best properties for clients who are serious, so give us a hand by doing some homework first, and asking advice. We'll then wow you with that Mont Blanc view, the wraparound balcony and the two parking spaces.......
