Our market: the only one of the three where the yield can be calculated
Nancy : the only one of the three cities where the yield adds up
Because Lorraine comes under the fichier immobilier national, sale prices there are public, which is the case neither in Strasbourg nor in Schiltigheim. The rent can therefore be set against the purchase price, with two official figures and no estimate.
What we let in Nancy, per square metre
A studio or one-bedroom flat lets here for 14,11 € le m², against 10,99 € for a two-bedroom flat or larger, that is 28 % more for every square metre let. This is the first thing to look at when buying to let: for the same budget, two small flats do not bring in what one large one does.
| Property type | Rent / m² / month | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Flat, all sizes | 12,15 € | 9,73 – 15,16 € |
| One- or two-room flat | 14,11 € | 11,41 – 17,44 € |
| Flat with three rooms or more | 10,99 € | 8,66 – 13,95 € |
| House | 12,05 € | 9,03 – 16,06 € |

Buy to let, in figures
A flat sold there for 2 262 € le m² at the median value, out of 1 708 flat sales recorded in 2025. Set against the advertised rent, this gives a rental yield gross of 6.4 %.
Gross, and the word matters: this calculation ignores service charges, the taxe foncière, void periods between tenants, works and fees. The net yield is always lower. We would rather tell you here than let you find out at the first service charge adjustment.

The energy condition of the housing stock
Of the 53,171 diagnostics drawn up in Nancy since July 2021, 7.1 % of homes are rated F or G, and 3.5 % A or B. The most common label is C.
This figure determines what an owner can do with their property: the timetable of the loi Climat et Résilience is progressively closing off letting to the least efficient homes. Having the diagnostic carried out is therefore a prerequisite to any letting, not a formality at the end of the process.

Three questions about Nancy
- Why can rental yield be calculated in Nancy and not in Strasbourg?
- Because Lorraine comes under the national property file: sales there are published by the State, and an official rent can be set against an official price. In Alsace, the land register publishes nothing: the same calculation would require an estimate.
- Who looks after Nancy at Reboot Immobilier?
- Lydie Leblanc covers Nancy and the whole of Lorraine. Her direct line is on the team page.
- Do you offer rental management in Nancy?
- Yes, at the same public scale as in Alsace: the rental management page details what the mandate covers, the fees page shows the rates in full.
