What type of commercial space are you looking for?

Depending on the nature of its activity, each company has specific needs in terms of layout, storage space, visitor areas or office areas. Before investing, you need to know exactly what you are looking for, so that HOMESELECT real estate hunters can provide you with adapted solutions for commercial premises in Paris.

The different types of premises

A company that mainly performs administrative tasks will first and foremost look for offices. Others will need warehouses. In the world of tourism, cafes, hotels and restaurants are set up. Finally, retailers design stores. The constraints in each of these spaces are naturally different. Office layout requires a context adapted to partitioning into several small rooms (or a large area for companies considering open-space). On the warehouse side, depending on storage needs, requests mainly concern area, ceiling height and accessibility. In hotels, restaurants and shops, you have to think about the relationship between the private and public sectors, knowing also that the regulations in these sectors are very strict, especially in terms of safety.

Opening to the public

Buying commercial space in Paris is not the same way if you have to deal with the reception of the public or if the company works only privately. From the start of the research, it is therefore essential to properly formulate your expectations around this problem: is the premises intended to receive customers, suppliers or collaborators? When it comes to managing a more or less significant flow of visitors on a daily basis, the future owner looking to buy commercial premises in Paris can specify a few “little extras” that make the difference: an ideal space for setting up a reception, a large car park available, immediate proximity to public transport, etc.

What are your search criteria?

Sectorization: the different locations

When it comes to commercial real estate, location is key! This is the most important criterion, and it has a decisive impact on the amount of investment, as well as the benefits. Depending on the district in which a commercial space is located in Paris, it is assigned a number. The closer it is to 1, the higher the potential (and the higher the price!). The city center, the Grands Boulevards and the pedestrian areas are very attractive places in Paris, often classified 1 or 1 bis. Placing yourself in these sectors makes it possible to make a more secure investment: the reputation of the neighborhood ensures the company a visibility that will undoubtedly benefit it. Of course, the location deserves to be put into perspective: for a service company, it is not necessarily mandatory to set up on a highly sought-after shopping street. A neighborhood that is consistent with the activity carried out should always be selected. For liberal professions, for example, secondary locations are generally sufficient. The price is more attractive and, provided you are well served by public transport or the main roads, you can be sure of a certain profitability in the long term.

The layout and the area

When formulating your search criteria for commercial premises in Paris, do not forget to specify the number of square meters you want. Depending on the nature of your business — but also depending on the size of the company, you will not position yourself on the same assets. At the same time, if you need to welcome the public, you must take this flow into account when choosing the space, to avoid crowd effects, unpleasant for your customers and interlocutors.In addition to its size, the premises must seduce you in terms of layout: you must find a property that corresponds to your activity, and already helps you to project yourself. For example, if you need to store a lot for your business, you will appreciate the presence of a large back room. If you want more peace and quiet for your large restaurant, you will rather position yourself on premises that simplify the configuration of several rooms. To buy commercial premises in Paris, remember that it is sometimes necessary to plan work before installation. If necessary, this is an argument that helps to lower the price!

The “little extras” that make a difference

Don't just formulate synthetic and empirical search criteria for your search: with your HOME SELECT real estate hunter, take the time to detail all your expectations. If you often welcome the public, stick to compliance with standards for people with reduced mobility, insist on your desire to have parking available, share your aesthetic tastes, your desires in terms of layout and light. No criteria are superfluous: we advise you to take stock of each asset you want, in order to find a property that best fits your specifications and to buy commercial premises in Paris.

What is the budget for buying commercial premises in Paris?

For any business, buying commercial space in Paris is an investment. In order to launch a profitable project, make sure you properly frame it financially, with the help of a HOME SELECT real estate expert.

Price per m² and profitability, two criteria to compare

In commercial real estate, the ratio of price per square meter is not the most relevant criterion to use, unlike residential real estate, in which it is essential. The cost of commercial space in Paris per square meter allows you to obtain an indication of your investment. But what should interest you above all is the profitability of the property, which depends essentially on its location (again, location is key!). You should know that generally, the larger the surface, the lower the price per square meter. A degressivity that is not considered as important in residential areas.

Fresh

For your investment in commercial premises in Paris to benefit you, it is imperative to carry out a rigorous financial package. The premises can be purchased by the company or by its manager. In the first case, the company must assume the loan. In the second case, the manager or group of managers, as owners, can rent the premises to their business, which is advantageous for preparing for retirement or succession, for example. Note that the purchase of new premises depends on the real estate VAT regime, while old premises incur registration fees. In terms of taxation, offices purchased by the company will make it possible to deduct several expenses from profit (depreciation, insurance premiums, interests, etc.).

The “work” envelope

When planning a commercial space in Paris, you must ask yourself a question: can you invest the premises now or will it be necessary to go through the “works” box? If necessary, HOME SELECT proposes to put you in contact with architects and artisans, to simplify your planning procedures. If major work is required, we also help you negotiate the purchase price, in order to optimize the overall investment as much as possible.

HOME SELECT real estate hunters: what is our search method?

The HOME SELECT application and the ads

All HOME SELECT real estate hunters work with our “house” application. It makes it possible to compile all sources of information, and to obtain valuable alerts, in order to be sufficiently reactive and not to let a great opportunity fly away. At the same time, HOME SELECT real estate hunters also use the classic network, with ads placed by sellers on websites and through traditional real estate agencies. They mobilize all means to find commercial premises in Paris.

The network

Applying for HOME SELECT means calling on a solid network of experts! Regularly, for individuals as well as for professionals, HOME SELECT hunters contact other collaborators, and are in a genuine process of permanent mutual assistance. Each hunter maintains special relationships with agents in their preferred sector. When a file for the purchase of commercial premises in Paris arrives on his desk, he knows who to contact in order to obtain information. It accesses goods “off market” (before they are put on real sale). A mutually beneficial relationship, since each hunter brings serious customers with a financially solid profile. For its part, the agency is fortunate to be able to close sales in a few visits!

What are the elements studied in the pre-visit?

At the time of the pre-visit, the HOME SELECT real estate hunter acts alone. He takes all the relevant information for his client, in order to present him only the solutions adapted to his commercial premises project in Paris. The study of the sales context is decisive: we start by looking at how long the premises have been on sale, what was the starting price, what was its former use or even what is the reason for the sale. The hunter continues with a detailed analysis of the property. He ensures that all the characteristics correspond to the customer's specifications. It checks the development potential, to guarantee the purchaser a profitable investment. During the pre-visit, we also observe the immediate environment: the good service by major roads and public transport, the identity of the neighborhood, the other establishments around... and everything that can impact the success of the company in these premises!

What is the added value of HOME SELECT hunters?

Coherent properties for each purchaser
