How listings are processed

  • Comparable rents: every rent is converted to euros per m² per year, excluding VAT and service charges. A listing quoted “from” a given price is matched to its smallest unit.

  • Each property counted once: a unit marketed by several agents, or advertised several times, is counted only once.

  • Separate segments: coworking, serviced offices and service agreements are compared on a price per workstation, separately from conventional leases. Subleases and short-term leases are flagged.

  • An office-only scope: retail, light industrial, warehouses, laboratories, community facilities and residential units are excluded. Sales with a sitting tenant (rent or yield shown) and whole buildings are treated separately.

  • Checks: prices inconsistent with the floor area, per-workstation prices shown as rent and values far out of line with neighbouring properties are excluded. When a listing states its rent per m², that figure is used as a cross-check.

How a valuation is calculated

  1. Reference rent for the postcode for a new 300 m² office, from a statistical model fitted to the listings.

  2. Micro-location: median difference of listings in the same street, weighted by their number.

  3. Adjustments: condition, size, specification (air conditioning, outdoor space, green certifications…), transport links.

  4. From asking rent to agreed rent: negotiation discount and incentives specific to each sub-market.

  5. Capital value: capitalisation of net income at a yield built up from its components (market base, sub-market, condition, size), less re-letting costs, cross-checked against the asking prices per m² of comparable properties for sale.

Each valuation shows its confidence level, the number of comparables used and every assumption, all of which you can change.

Limitations

Listings are asking prices, not agreed prices: the gap is corrected by assumption. In arrondissements with few listings (4th to 7th), results are less certain. A valuation does not replace a site visit, a technical survey or a review of the leases.
