Before you start making predictions, you need to know how to properly value your property.

Valuing a flat: taking the current market into account

In order to get an initial idea of the price of your flat, it is necessary to find out about the property market in your area. To do this, you have several options: refer to the property prices published in atHome Magazine or look at the ads on the Internet. By comparing your flat with similar ads published on atHome, you will get an initial idea of the prices charged in your municipality for the type of accommodation you have.

Of course, many other criteria will help determine and refine the price of your flat. In reality, each property has its own value. Fortunately, there are now estimation tools to find out the value of a property. Use the estimation tool atHome will allow you to receive an evaluation of your flat in just a few minutes.

Estimating a flat: the state of the condominium

In the case of the sale of a flat, the condition of the residence should not be overlooked. Indeed, everything related to the co-ownership will be taken into consideration in the calculation of the price of your property.
A defective lift or a faded facade may reduce the selling price. On the other hand, facilities such as high security access or the presence of well-maintained green spaces can influence the price upwards.

Also related to the building, the energy performance of the building plays a role in the estimation of the sale price. In concrete terms, a good 'rating' will have a positive impact on the price, while a low energy value will lower the valuation of the property. This is the so-called green value: the change in the value of the property due to its energy performance.

Finally, note that the floor on which your flat is located will also have an impact on the final sale price: the higher the flat, the higher the price.
