Although a mandatory step for most home owners, selling a property is often associated to stress. There are many reasons for selling: moving away, an expanding family or a need in financing or capital. And in most cases, a good selling price is of paramount importance to the success of the future project. Here is a small guide to help you approach the sale of your property with total confidence.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the energy passport!<\/h2>\n

Since November of 2007, establishing an energy passport (CPE)<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, a document clarifying a property\u2019s energy needs, is mandatory for all property sales. Its classification system by letters is similar to those used by household appliances: \u201cA\u201d indicates optimal energy performance, \u201cI\u201d indicates high energy consumption.<\/p>\n

After the signature of the deed, you will need to hand an original copy over to the buyer. An energy passport is valid for a ten-year period. You should check the establishment date of the document before putting your property up for sale.<\/p>\n

For an existing house and if no CPE has been established yet, you will need to contract a habilitated company. Consider a budget of at least \u20ac800. If you already have a valid CPE, but have since undertaken renovations that may impact the passport result (isolating fa\u00e7ade, double-glazing windows, removal of thermal bridges, etc.), it is often very beneficial to establish a new passport in order to improve your CPE classification.<\/p>\n

Valid on the entirety of a residence, it is quite probable that a passport is therefore already available for your apartment. Your \u201csyndic de copropri\u00e9t\u00e9\u201d (the co-ownership property representative) can probably provide you with an original copy of the document.<\/p>\n

Even if there is no legal obligation to do so, it is often also a good idea to gather the different invoices, recurring charges, General Assembly resolutions of the past 2 years, and other property documentation. This allows the future buyer to estimate his future property charges and take note of all the expenditures that he will not have to bear in the near future.<\/p>\n

Increase your chances of a better deal<\/h2>\n

Before putting your property on the market, think about small actions that can facilitate the sales process and increase the attractiveness of your property.<\/p>\n
