Real estate appraisal

Lana asks:

Good afternoon! Does it make sense before buying a house to look it up with an appraiser, who will tell if the price is right for quality? and are there any professionals in France?

Good afternoon!
Yes, there are such specialists in France. It is called Expert Immobilier.
He can make the most accurate assessment. The services of such an independent specialist can cost 1000-1500 € (while it provides a detailed analysis of real estate). The services of such specialists are usually used in legal proceedings, etc.
If the assessment is required in a fairly large city, where many different real estate agencies (Paris, Lyon, etc.), it is cheaper to contact the real estate agency with a request to make an estimate. Usually good agents give a fairly accurate estimate. You just need to avoid the situation when they are interested in raising the price (if their commission depends on this), or to lower the price (if they want your transaction to fail if they have their client for the same real estate, for example).
In general, prices usually correspond to market value. And the price can almost always be reduced by 5%.

Lana, good afternoon! If you make out a purchase, using borrowed funds, then the assessment will be carried out by the bank. In general, the companies that produce the valuation are there. But we must take into account that the appraiser is also a person and can write anything .... you can pre-authorize similar offers on the market and compare them yourself.
