Lyonreal estate

Lyon prices off jobs, two rivers and a two-hour TGV to Paris — not off being a discounted 9th arrondissement. Presqu’île, Croix-Rousse and Part-Dieu do not share a cap rate.

≈ +7% over the price. Roughly +7% on an existing home — that is the famous frais de notaire, most of which is departmental tax rather than the notaire’s fee. A new-build runs nearer 2–3% because VAT is already inside the price. Several départements, Paris included, applied the 2025 uplift toward ~6.3% DMTO — confirm the rate on your acte, not on a blog post.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposit caps at one month’s rent unfurnished and two months furnished (loi du 6 juillet 1989).
  • Encadrement des loyers fixes a reference rent per m² in Paris, Lyon, Lille, Bordeaux, Montpellier and Marseille — a lease above it is challengeable.
  • A DPE rating of G has been barred from new lettings since 2025 and F follows in 2028 — the energy label is a rentability test, not a sticker.

Qualitative anchors only. Live reference rents come from the préfecture’s published grid, never a hardcoded table.

Cities

Six metros, one notarial machine

The deed is national; the money is not. DMTO is voted département by département, and rent control only bites in the designated zones tendues. Each city guide carries its own number.

The market is smaller and far less foreign-buyer theatrical than Paris, and Lyon applies encadrement des loyers across the city plus Villeurbanne. The national notarial machine is the same; the micro-location is not.

Student, pharmaceutical and back-office employment supports the long-let book. Tourist occupancy does not define this city, and the low-emission zone around the centre changes what a parking space is worth.

FAQ

Cheaper than Paris?
Usually well below on a per-square-metre basis. Not automatically higher yield once vacancy, works and the rent grid are honest.
Same notaire rules?
Yes — one French national sale process. The city briefing is local; the deed is not.
