Single-family homes are becoming increasingly attractive to buyers. They are now making it their preferred place to live. Let's discover all the qualities it must have in order to maintain the passion for a long time with its new occupants!
With the health crisis, the house is making the eye of the buyers. To attract all eyes on its dream building, it puts forward its comfort and its living environment. While its interior space allows you to stretch out, its exterior invites you to relax, which makes it the preferred type of property for the French. All that remains is to define the right search criteria so that this house turns out to be a good purchase.
Criterion n°1 : ATTRACTIVITY
Like any beautiful encounter, a property often triggers a love affair! For the architectural lines that characterize it or for the atmosphere that emanates from it, the future occupants must see it as a reassuring and pleasant place to live. This feeling comes from the intrinsic qualities of the house as well as from the landscaped setting of the garden.
A wise precaution consists in not giving in to excitement and taking the necessary distance to decide whether or not to pursue the adventure. To the rather subjective criteria must be added the taking into account of some more objective elements that we expose hereafter...
Criterion n°2 : ACCESSIBILITY
This is a very important element which is based on the quality of the location. It is a determining criterion in the valuation of a property. It is indeed important that it is located close to shops, schools, health centers, transport networks... to guarantee a maximum of conveniences. The more the property will limit the use of the car to access services and the more it will provide daily amenities. Another important point is to make sure that the access roads to the house ensure easy circulation.
Criterion n°3 : SOBILITY
As soon as a property is put up for sale, it is subject to an energy performance diagnosis - DPE - which aims to determine its energy class. Evaluated by letters ranging from A to G, this diagnosis takes into account both the primary consumption in kWh/m2 .year and emissions in kgCO2/m2 .year. These data are very important because they take into account heating expenses, the level of insulation... which directly impact the operating cost of the house. To optimize its energy performance, work can be considered at lower cost through the "Ma Prime Rénov". This is an aid from the Anah to carry out work and granted according to the level of resources.
Criterion n°4 : EVOLUTIVENESS
The house meets the needs of the present but not necessarily those of the future... Indeed, if the family grows, it may be necessary to consider an extension. This assumes that the attic can be converted or that the land has the necessary building rights.
These are precautions that the notary takes care to verify when drawing up the preliminary contract. In the same way, the implementation of important works such as the creation of openings, the demolition of partitions... must take place in complete safety. It is advisable to contact a building professional to verify this and to have the cost estimated.
Criterion n°4 : TRANQUILITY
If the house seduces more and more urban people, it is because it provides a much more relaxing living environment, provided of course that the quality of the environment is respected.
This means avoiding the nuisances caused by a busy road or the presence of hectic business areas.It is also important to be aware of any constructions that may be built nearby and that may obscure a beautiful view... Here again, the notary takes care to obtain information on current projects from the town planning department.
So many precautions to be taken so that the purchase of your house will lead to a beautiful story!
