METHODS

How the calculation works

The recognised approaches for this asset class, applied to your figures.

M.01

Recorded sale prices (DVF)

The French tax administration publishes the prices of property sales over the last five years (the DVF open data, which does not cover Alsace-Moselle and Mayotte). The engine compares your property with actual sales of similar properties nearby.

M.02

Price per square metre

French practice expresses value per m² of living area (Carrez area for apartments in co-ownership). The local price is adjusted for floor, lift, view, outdoor space, parking and condition.

M.03

Energy rating (DPE)

The energy performance rating now weighs on value: poorly rated homes (F and G) face rental restrictions and sell at a discount, while A and B ratings can command a premium.

M.04

Rental yield

For rented homes, offices or shops, the rent is capitalised at the yield observed locally, taking into account the lease (residential, commercial 3-6-9), indexation and tenant quality.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

Straight answers before you start.

Q.01

Are property prices public in France?

Yes. The DVF database published by the tax administration lists property sales of the last five years with price, surface and location, except in Alsace-Moselle and Mayotte. It is the basis of the estimate.

Q.02

Does the energy rating change the value?

Yes. Homes rated F or G are gradually being banned from rental and often sell at a discount. Planned renovation work should be taken into account in the price.

Q.03

Are notary fees included in the value?

No. The estimated value is the net seller price. For an existing property, the buyer pays in addition transfer taxes and notary fees, generally around 7 to 8% of the price.

Q.04

Who can sign a formal property valuation in France?

Montjoie Patrimoine, a member of our network, values residential and commercial property in France, as well as farms, forests and vineyards, and issues signed opinions.

Q.05

When is a formal valuation needed?

For an inheritance, a donation, property wealth tax (IFI), a divorce, a dispute or bank financing, a reasoned valuation signed by a professional is recommended.

Q.06

What should I prepare?

Exact address, living area, number of rooms, floor, year of construction, energy rating, condition, and for rented property the lease and rent.
