Marrakech medina

Riad for sale in the Marrakech medina

Many of the finest riads in the medina are never advertised online. I present a curated selection, on the market or off-market, already checked before the first viewing.

How I work

From search to viewing

A well-defined search saves you dozens of pointless viewings in the alleys.

Your brief

Budget, number of bedrooms, neighbourhood, car access, roof terrace or pool, personal use or guest house: together we set what really matters.

On-market and off-market selection

I cross-check available properties with my network of owners, notaries and fellow agents. Some riads are only ever sold by word of mouth.

Checks before viewing

Title status, price consistent with the market, known constraints: I only arrange a viewing if the file holds up.

Viewings in person or remotely

Grouped viewings over one or two days, or a live video tour if you are abroad, with my unfiltered comments.

Offer and support

I prepare the offer, negotiate for you and stay with you until signing at the notary. See the full method for buying a riad.

Property types

Which riad for which project?

Family riad or second home

Usually three to five bedrooms, a quiet neighbourhood, a beautiful roof terrace and easy access. Charm and ease of upkeep come first.

Guest house riad

Already operating or to be converted: we look at the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, existing permits and the real operating figures.

Price

What drives the price of a riad

In the medina, two riads of the same size can have very different prices. What weighs most: the neighbourhood and distance to car access, legal status (titled or melkia), the condition and quality of the renovation, living space and roof terrace, a pool or plunge pool, and for a guest house, the existing business.

To get to know the neighbourhoods, read Living in the Marrakech medina.

Owners

Frequently asked questions

Buying a riad in the medina

Why are not all riads for sale online?

Many owners prefer a discreet sale, without photos on the internet or repeated viewings. These properties circulate within a trusted network.

Can you reach a medina riad by car?

Rarely to the door. So we look at the walking distance to the car park or the nearest medina gate, an important criterion for resale as well as for letting.

Is a riad to renovate a good deal?

It can be, provided the works are costed before the offer and the title is checked. Renovating in the medina requires experienced craftsmen and permits.

Can I view from abroad?

Yes. I run live video tours and send you a written report with the strong points and the points to watch.
