Estimating the price of your home is crucial. It lets you know the real value of your home when you put it up for sale. It is true and objective, unlike the selling price that you estimate yourself. Homeowners often tend to overestimate the price of their home because they are personally attached to it. A correct, objective estimate is therefore essential, because it will save you time when putting your house up for sale. The estimate should take into account both the general condition of the property and its location. The estimated value should also reflect the reality of the market, taking into account the average price per square metre in the town where the house is located.

There are several factors involved in estimating the price of a house. The main criteria that help you assess the value of your property include: • Its precise location: using the property market in your town as a guide, you can get a more accurate estimate of what your house is really worth; • Its immediate surroundings: the area in which your home is located is also a determining factor. The presence of shops, schools, various infrastructures and public facilities also comes into play. Areas with good public transport links are also more popular, although peace and quiet is also a determining factor for some buyers; • The type of property: in the same town, a flat will not have the same value as a house. It also depends on the number of rooms in the house, its floor area, exposure, facing buildings and outside areas (garden, swimming pool, etc.); • Its general condition: you also need to take into account the work you've done and the renovations you've carried out. A house that has been completely refurbished is bound to be worth more than an old, dilapidated building; • Its energy performance: a house with a good energy performance diagnosis (DPE) will be worth more, because it will be more attractive to buyers.
