In a fast-growing market, young buyers also want to take advantage of real estate opportunities. New services allow them to be connected 24/24 and to validate very quickly that they are OK to sign. Let's find out how to buy WELL with the notary.
As a result of their experience as tenants or flatmates, more and more young people are buying in major cities like Bordeaux. They're immediately assuming the role of investors, since they're offering shared accommodation. They also know that it's better to buy to live in than to pay rent! Super-connected, notaries offer them online services and apps that enable them, and their elders, to validate their purchase very quickly.
It's interactive, I love it
It's always fun to flip through a beautiful magazine to see the interior or exterior of a property. It's even better to discover a renovated apartment or house! Rhinov has pulled off this magic trick by offering a virtual home staging service. Notaries can also use this technology to show the property before and after. This makes it easier to see the property with its new decor and furnishings. The restyled photos can be viewed on the immonot website. And what's more, the furniture shown can be purchased in just a few clicks on partner sites such as Maisons du Monde.
It's so efficient, it's like leaving a trail!
Notaries are putting their foot on the gas pedal to make transactions happen faster. With interactive sales, buyers bid online directly on the dedicated site: 36h-immo.com or immobilier.notaires.fr, a bit like an auction. The result: candidates decide on the price they want to pay, and see what other buyers are offering. This enables them to buy at the market price in around 4 weeks, instead of 3 months with a conventional sale. If they can show a reassuring financing plan, they have every chance of being retained by the seller, who has the final say on the choice of buyer.
Electronic deeds, super practical!
In fact, tablets have taken the place of numerous pages to be initialled! This means you can follow the notary's presentation of the deed on a large screen. All appendices, planning documents, diagnostics, etc. are also scanned in. All that's left to do is pick up the stylus and sign on the tablet. A digital version of the deed can then be transmitted to the customer.
Videoconferencing: a real opportunity
More and more studies are using video-conferencing systems to see and talk to each other via LifeSize Video software. In the near future, it will be possible to sign electronically from a distance, enabling the deed to be signed jointly with the other party without the need to travel. What a convenience!
Always safe, the notary assures
What's even more astonishing is that all these technologies do not exclude the notary's expertise. As early as the search phase, the negotiator assists buyers in selecting the right property and organizing the visits that are of interest. The notary ensures that the transaction takes place in complete legal certainty, with all the necessary diagnostics, town-planning documents and title deeds, right up to the drafting of the preliminary contract. This is a key stage that usually culminates in the electronic signature of the deed of sale.
And yes, notaries have clicked at just the right moment to avoid too many documents!
NOTARIES AT THE SERVICE OF BUYERS AND SELLERS
In the South-West of France, notaries work as a network through a negotiation group. This gives them access to all products offered for sale by notaries' offices in the South-West. A total of 33 notaries' offices in the Dordogne, Landes and Gironde regions are members of this network, providing a genuine territorial network for the benefit of private individuals.
