1. The neighbourhood, and even the street

This is the first factor, and the most decisive. The Port, Vieux-Nice, the Carré d'Or, Cimiez, Mont Boron and Fabron each have their own market, clientele and prices. But within the same neighbourhood, the street and its proximity to shops, the tramway or the sea can make the value vary considerably.

2. The view and orientation

In Nice, a sea view is a major asset, and even a partial glimpse can weigh on the price. Orientation matters too: a bright apartment facing south or west is more appealing than a dark home overlooking a courtyard.

3. The floor and the lift

A high floor with a lift, quieter and brighter, is generally more sought-after than a ground floor. Conversely, a top floor without a lift may put off some buyers.

4. Outdoor spaces

Terrace, balcony, garden: on the Côte d'Azur, living outdoors is part of the lifestyle. A beautiful outdoor space is often one of the features that adds the most value to a property, whether an apartment or a house.

5. The condition of the property and any work required

A tastefully renovated apartment sells faster and at a better price. Major work (electrics, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen) will, on the other hand, be factored into buyers' offers.

6. Energy performance (DPE)

The energy performance certificate has become a key factor. A property rated F or G is now less sought-after, particularly by investors, as the law is gradually restricting the letting of the most energy-inefficient homes.

7. The co-ownership building

The level of service charges, the condition of the building, works already voted or planned, the presence of a caretaker or a swimming pool: all elements that buyers examine closely.

8. Parking

In Nice, a garage or parking space is a real plus, often decisive for families as well as for buyers coming from elsewhere.

The market, the final judge

Beyond the property itself, its price depends on the market at the time: recent comparable sales in the neighbourhood, the number of similar properties for sale, and buyer demand. This is why online valuations, based on averages, remain approximate: they see neither your view, nor your terrace, nor the quality of your renovation.

Why choose a professional valuation

Price it too high, and your property loses momentum on the market. Too low, and you lose part of its value. An accurate valuation is based on a visit to the property and in-depth knowledge of the neighbourhood. That is the whole purpose of the appraisal we offer you: well-reasoned, detailed and complimentary.
