an inspiring project
Buying an apartment in Paris is an exciting project.
Buying an apartment in Paris is an exciting project. It is also a challenge, especially when you are launching yourself into the Paris real estate market on your own. Real Estate Caretaking offers its assistance in 5 essential steps.
Define your criteria and budget
The first step is to establish a list of your criteria, such as the neighborhood, the building style (old or modern), the floor, the number of rooms, the exposure, the planned renovation and decoration work, etc.
Few properties will meet all your criteria at once. It is therefore important to prioritize them. Take the time to think about the key points of your project and create a shortlist.
Buying an apartment in Paris is an exciting project and it is also an investment. To determine your budget, it is important to anticipate the expenses associated with your property, such as notary fees, the cost of work and renovations, and equipment.
Property analysis and comparison
Once the search mandate has been assigned, Real Estate Caretaking’s mission is to select properties by comparing, after visiting them, the properties’ attributes with your list of criteria. However, we will have to go further and provide our expertise and analyze all the information on the condition of the property (surface area, electricity, plumbing, energy performance, etc.). We will also ensure that the property’s surroundings are explored. We will also have to pay attention to the management of the co-ownership, particularly that of the common areas.
Price Negotiation
Are you sure you have found the property of your dreams? This is where Real Estate Caretaking comes in to negotiate the price. We can help you determine the property’s value by aggregating all the information and drawing on their in-depth knowledge of residential neighborhoods. We will then act as an intermediary between you and the seller, presenting your offer to the seller and entering the negotiation phase.
Acquisition
acquisition. This is followed by a period of obtaining and then verifying the documents by the buyer’s notary. The process ends with the signing of the final deed and payment of the price.
Consult a tax advisor: If you are a non-resident for tax purposes, several situations frequently arise: buying as a married couple under a foreign tax regime, being a non-EU tax resident, anticipating an inheritance, or planning a resale with a capital gain. Real Estate Caretaking can also connect you with English-speaking tax advisors and accountants to provide you with the most appropriate advice for your situation.
Settlement assistance
You are now a homeowner. Congratulations! This is where Real Estate Caretaking can offer its experience to support you through all the steps leading up to your permanent move: opening a bank account in France, property insurance, electricity and internet access providers, renovating and equipping the property, finding the right teams for your project (architects, decorators, craftsmen, etc.), visiting the site on your behalf, etc.
