Thanks to this new free site, you can know the real prices of real estate transactions around your home and throughout France. A precious tool to buy, sell and compare!
Becoming the owner of your accommodation is the project of a lifetime for most people. But finding the home of his dreams and acquiring it for an honest price is the obstacle course. The opacity and complexity of the real estate market make risky research and negotiations particularly bitter. Difficult indeed to know if a good is displayed at its right price, or if current construction projects will not come to ruin its value some time after its acquisition.
Having complete and reliable information on the real estate market is essential to carry out effective research and, above all, make a judicious and informed purchasing decision. And to achieve this, a new free online service can provide you with precious help: Real estate pappers. Developed by the company Pappers, a start-up specializing in the aggregation of open source data (Open Data), this portal presents itself as an interactive map with a lot of information on real estate in France.
First of all, it makes it possible to consult the history of sales known for a building or land, with the prices actually paid by the successive buyers. These are invaluable data for any potential buyer, because they allow you to know the real market value of goods, beyond the prices displayed in real estate ads. They also make it possible to get an idea of the evolution of prices in time and their averages in a given sector, in order to easily identify if a property is overvalued or if, on the contrary, it is a good potential deal.
In addition to selling prices, Pappers Immobilier also agrees with other relevant and very useful information for building your purchase project. The current building permits and the preliminary declarations of work are listed for each plot, which allows to know if future developments will modify the environment of a property. Energy performance diagnostics (DPE) are also listed when available. We can also know the identity of the owners legal persons, such as real estate civil companies (SCI) or HLM organizations, but not that of individuals of course.
Finally, the interactive card is easy to use and explore, using a simple search bar allowing to enter precise addresses or larger areas. Very practical, the service is not yet perfectly complete yet. In some towns and villages, especially the smallest, financial data on real estate sales are often less numerous than in large cities. But Pappers Immobilier is already a formidable source of information for all future buyers, and should soon be enriched with new useful data, such as the zoning of the PLU, the rent levels or the geological risks to which buildings and land are exposed.
