For your real estate shopping, go to your notary

Since inflation is rampant, we have to adapt our way of consuming and hunt down the cheapest offers. A trend that applies to the purchase of consumer products and logically affects acquisitions...
Indeed, customers confirm their strong interest in real estate since the volume of transactions is slowing down only slightly. With 1,187,000 transactions over 12 months at the end of February 2022, the market remains dynamic after having peaked at 1,212,000 at the end of August 2021.
However, the prospect of an economic crisis that could last for a long time is having a negative impact on our purchasing power... real estate. In addition to the inflation that is impacting many sectors, interest rates are already on the rise. The ECB (European Central Bank) decided to raise its key interest rates by approximately 25 points last July. Knowing that other increases should follow in September... A situation that will be accompanied by a higher cost of credit for individuals but still attractive. In this context, it is important to turn to the most competitive real estate brands. Notary's offices are in a good position since the properties on file are characterized by their good quality/price ratio. Coming from the settlement of successions, they benefit from a real exclusivity. Moreover, their prices are the result of real estate appraisals, which reinforces their good price positioning. An overview of the prices and conditions proposed by the notaries of your department is necessary.

Home Department
The world of dreams

Here you are on a market that is full of buyers: that of the individual house. Since the health crisis, the notaries' "negotiation" departments have not been empty for this clientele who wish to get their hands on the much coveted property. A good reflex on the part of these buyers who open doors to find exclusive offers.
Indeed, notaries can get their supplies during separations, successions... at times when owners are often forced to sell their real estate assets. In this context, notaries' offices are the brands to visit first. They also stand out for their tight pricing policy, which is sure to attract customers. To achieve this, they emphasize the quality of their real estate expertise, which translates into a precise and objective pricing of the properties for sale. As for prospecting, it can easily be done thanks to the negotiation services of the studies.

Apartment department
Want to go outside...

This universe of apartments certainly reserves good deals. Depending on your real estate project, you will find great opportunities to buy a home or make an investment. To track down good deals, you need to be interested in properties that do not necessarily have a balcony or a terrace... Indeed, with the health crisis, buyers are heading in priority for apartments with an exterior. If they do not have one, they are negotiated at their fair price, even in large cities where there is a certain tension due to the shortage of properties for sale. However, one should not think that these are products with defects. On the contrary, the main criterion for assessing the quality of a property is its location. Insofar as the apartment is located next to food shops, school complexes, railway networks... this product has all the characteristics to know a beautiful valorization with the passing of time. All the more so if you carry out this acquisition through your notary. He takes all theprecautionsto ensure that the transaction is surrounded by a maximum of legal protections. This concerns the examination of the co-ownership, the seller's duty to inform, the collection of real estate diagnoses... in the service of the drafting of the sales agreement.

A beautiful building set

Faced with the scarcity of real estate and the need to renovate energy-hungry homes, many individuals are turning to a new construction project. This is a great initiative that requires the acquisition of a building plot beforehand. However, the supply of plots of land is tending to shrink, given the prospect of "zero net artificialisation of land" by 2030. This is an ambitious objective that has a strong impact on urban planning policy, since it aims to reduce gross artificialization by 70% and to renaturalize 5,500 hectares of land per year. Under these conditions, building land is concentrated around already urbanized areas and results in a densification of the habitat. As most of the land is in subdivisions, buyers benefit from the various electricity, water, gas and fiber networks, which avoid the cost of servicing the land.
