Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest you can buy a riad in Marrakech?+

Below ~1.8M MAD you are usually buying a small derb house being marketed as a riad rather than a true central-courtyard riad. Anything materially under that often needs structural work.

How much do transaction costs add?+

Notary fees, registration, and agency commission together typically come to 6–8% of the asking price. Budget the higher end if you negotiate hard on the headline number.

Are riads cheaper outside the medina?+

True riads only exist inside the medina. Modern villas in Hivernage or the Palmeraie are a different product class and trade on a different price-per-m² basis.
