Selling

Selling a plot or a house for demolition

The full process, the documents to gather and realistic timeframes — before you even contact us.

The process, step by step

  1. You describe the property

    Address, approximate surface, current situation. Five minutes is enough — we verify the rest ourselves with the commune and the land registry.

  2. We assess the potential

    PAG zoning, existing or future PAP, setbacks, density, access, easements. We tell you plainly whether a developer will be interested, or whether a private buyer is the better route.

  3. We put developers in competition

    Several developers active in your region receive the same file and the same deadline for submitting offers.

  4. You compare, we negotiate

    You receive a clear table: price, conditions, timing, financial standing. We go through the weak points of each offer before you decide.

  5. Signature and follow-through

    Preliminary contract, lifting of conditions, notarial deed. We remain your point of contact until the final transfer lands.

Useful documents

None of this blocks a first conversation: we can obtain most of these ourselves. Having them to hand simply makes everything faster.

  • Recent cadastral extract (parcel number and area)
  • Proof of ownership or the notarial purchase deed
  • PAG extract and, where one exists, the PAP covering the parcel
  • Plans of any existing building
  • Energy performance certificate, if a building is sold with the land
  • Any current lease or tenancy agreements
  • Known easements: right of way, pipes, power lines

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does a sale to a developer take?
Expect three to six months from first contact to the preliminary contract, then three to twelve months to the notarial deed depending on the conditions precedent. A developer who first has to get a PAP approved will naturally take longer than one buying a fully serviced plot.
What does your work cost?
The analysis, the valuation and the tender round with developers are free and without obligation. The amount of our commission and who bears it are set out in writing in the sales mandate before anything else happens. It falls due at the notarial deed — if no sale happens, you owe nothing.
Do I have to give you exclusivity?
We need a written mandate to approach developers in your name, but it is time-limited and can be ended. We never tie a property up for years.
What if my land is not buildable?
A plot in a green or agricultural zone can still be sold, just to a different audience: neighbours, farmers, hunters, patrimonial investors. We will tell you straight and point you to the right route rather than waste six months of your time.
Will I pay capital gains tax?
That depends on how long you have held the property, how it was used and your personal situation. It is a question for your notary or tax adviser — we flag the points to check, but we do not replace their advice.
My house is occupied. Can I still sell?
Yes. Developers frequently accept temporary occupancy after the sale, or a negotiated vacating period. Conditions like these are precisely what becomes easier to secure when several offers are on the table.
