Presentation of the property : House 9 rooms for sale in NARBONNE
Just steps from the cathedral and the Canal de la Robine, this 1850 townhouse offers 224 m² of living space over three levels, with an inner courtyard, patio, balcony, terrace and original vaulted cellar.
South-facing and opening onto a pedestrian side street, the house benefits from rare natural light flowing through the property, a particularly unusual feature in Narbonne’s historic centre.
THE AREA
The property is located in a part of the historic centre currently undergoing a genuine transformation. Nearby, several private mansions and heritage buildings are being renovated into high-end homes.
The Hôtel Bénavent, a 17th-century private mansion on Rue Louis-Blanc, is currently being converted into 16 high-end apartments.
THE HOUSE
Ground floor — 84 m²:
Living room, kitchen, bedroom, shower room, utility room and separate WC. Direct access to the patio and approximately 36 m² inner courtyard. Parking is possible in the courtyard.
First floor — 70 m²:
25.6 m² living room/kitchen, south-facing balcony and approximately 15 m² terrace. The two connecting rooms could form a large suite comprising a bedroom and private sitting room, study or dressing room.
Second floor — 70 m²:
Kitchen/dining room of approximately 27 m², shower room and two connecting rooms. They can be arranged as a sitting room and adjoining bedroom, with the possibility of occasionally accommodating a child or guests.
An original stone vaulted cellar completes the property.
A HOUSE TO MAKE YOUR OWN
Currently arranged as several rental spaces, the property lends itself to a rehabilitation project, becoming either a substantial main residence or a characterful second home.
Its three levels make it possible to create separate spaces for parents, children or guests, while retaining genuine independence. The courtyard, patio, balcony and terrace provide rare outdoor spaces in the heart of Narbonne.
THE RENOVATION PROJECT
The house has a sound structure, a roof renewed less than ten years ago and a C energy performance rating. The project is therefore primarily about updating and reorganising the spaces, rather than undertaking major renovation work.
The proposed work includes:
— General refreshment and repainting.
— Reorganisation of certain rooms to suit the future owner’s lifestyle.
— Localised repair to certain interior walls near the terrace.
— Replacement of the existing electric radiators.
— Renovation of the terrace.
A budget of €30,000 to €50,000 allows for this renovation, depending on the chosen layout and level of finish. This budget can naturally be reduced by a buyer wishing to undertake part of the work themselves.
For those who prefer to delegate, a local contractor can assist with the project study, budget and completion of the works, in French, English and Dutch. Les honoraires sont à la charge du vendeur.

To obtain a mortgage, it is necessary to compile a loan application file with a bank or a credit institution. The conditions for granting a loan generally include a personal contribution, job stability, a reasonable debt-to-income ratio, and a good repayment capacity. It is advisable to compare offers from different institutions to get the best terms.
In addition to the purchase price of the property, several additional costs should be anticipated, such as notary fees (approximately 7 to 8% of the sale price for an older property), agent fees, loan application fees, insurance, as well as potential renovation or furnishing costs.
The difference between a sales agreement and a sales promise lies mainly in the commitment of the parties and the consequences in case of non-compliance with the terms of the contract. Sales agreement: Strong mutual commitment between both parties. If one party withdraws, the other can demand the forced execution of the property sale. Sales promise: Unilateral commitment from the seller. The buyer has the option to purchase or not, with a reservation fee in case of non-purchase.
