Frequently asked questions
1. Do I need planning permission to renovate a house in France?
Planning permission may be required for structural changes, extensions, façade alterations, or works in protected areas. Interior decorative works usually do not require approval.
2. How much does house renovation cost in France?
Renovation costs depend on property condition, size, and level of intervention. Older homes often require structural repairs, insulation upgrades, and service replacements.
3. Can I live in my house during renovation?
This depends on the scale of works. Minor renovations may allow occupancy, but full structural or service upgrades often require temporary relocation.
4. How long does a house renovation project take?
Smaller renovations may take several months. Larger structural projects can take 6–12 months or more depending on scope and approvals.
5. Do I need an architect for house renovation in France?
An architect is legally required for certain projects exceeding size thresholds or involving structural changes. Even when not mandatory, professional guidance improves compliance and outcomes.
6. Can renovation improve resale value in France?
Yes. Well-planned renovation that improves layout, energy performance, and compliance can significantly increase property value, especially in sought-after regions.
7. Is it possible to change the layout of an old house?
Yes, but structural changes must be assessed carefully. Load-bearing walls and foundations often require engineering and architectural approval before modification.
