Your house is one of hundreds of thousands other properties that are for sale in France. You will only increase your chances of selling it if you can draw the buyer's attention to it.

A buyer wants to be able to calculate how much a house will eventually cost him. That is often more than just the asking price plus legal fees, etc.
Perfect properties do not exist and it is highly likely that the buyer will have to spend money on the property after he has become the new owner. The buyer is well aware of that but he wants to know in advance how much this will cost him.

The buyer wants to know what a property will eventually cost him

Answer that question for him and he might find your property suddenly a lot more interesting.
The buyer must be confident however that the information you provide is reliable and can be trusted. Only a report produced by an independent and qualified technical expert will be considered reliable. Comments and estimates from yourself or your estate agent are suspect. Information provided by a local builder is even more dubious.

French Property Surveyors is a well-known supplier of this type of inspections and buyers know that they can trust the information that FPS provides.

STAR CLASSIFICATION - spot the quality of a property in a second

French Property Surveyors has introduced the Star Classification. The FPS STAR graph is visually attractive and easy to understand. It is part of a technical report and gives an indication of the cost that a new owner can expect to have to pay for urgent repairs, delayed maintenance and repairs that are required within 12 months.

The number of stars represent these costs as a percentage of the asking price. These costs have been calculated by the FPS expert during his visit.

The STAR graph makes a huge difference for the buyer. He can now determine immediately if your property is interesting.

More stars means lower costs. Identifying an interesting property has become more easy. Your property will stand out from the crowd.

A STAR report gives much more than the Diagnostics reports

Some owners believe that the Dossier Diagnostic Technique provides all the information that a buyer needs. Nothing is further from the truth. DDT reports are useful and contain a lot of information. However, they don't tell the reader what the financial and technical consequences are of issues that have been identified by the DDT inspector. M%ore ....

Information is your ace

For the avoidance of any doubt, the FPS expert will describe clearly what work must be carried out and why. The buyer will understand that not all the work is required to make the property habitable.

A repair is a change, correction, replacement, or and addition to any part of the property, required for safety reasons, ecological reasons, or to maintain the value of the property.

Attentie: The FPS expert will not include costs that have to made for cosmetic reasons.
