Apartment hunter for a 200-400m² commercial space in a Parisian hub
Found!
Discover a search quickly conducted by Sophie Ithurbide, our apartment hunter specialized in Paris. Dimitri is actively looking for commercial space of 200 to 400 m² in one of the hubs of Grand Paris. Currently working in Senlis, he asks an expert to find him the rare property that will mark the beginning of his professional expansion.
What is Dimitri's professional project?
Dimitri is an ophthalmic surgeon, already the owner of a clinic in Senlis, in the Oise department. To develop his business, he is looking to buy an area between 200 and 400 m² in Grand Paris hubs such as Châtelet-les-Halles.
Why is he asking an apartment hunter for help?
Not being on site and not having the required connections to quickly carry out this real estate transaction, Dimitri decided to ask an apartment hunter.
Why did he set his sights on HOME SELECT real estate hunter?
After an in-depth search on the Internet, to find out about the various players present in Paris, Dimitri wanted to contact the HOME SELECT real estate network, whose site reflected an image that was both serious and professional. Upon receipt of the contact request, Jean Mascla entrusted this file to Sophie Ithurbide...
What were the outlines of Dimitri's research?
After the first discussions on how HOME SELECT works and on the network's fees, Dimitri and Sophie talked about the heart of the matter: buying real estate!
With a budget of 4 million, the surgeon primarily wanted to buy, but remained open to Sophie's suggestion, namely to rent with an option to buy. The young woman could therefore look for both a sale and a rental of up to €25,000 per month.
As in his activity, he does not work with natural light, our apartment hunter could offer basements, insofar as they made it possible to comply with the standards of ERP type N (Establishment Receiving the Public) — and in particular in terms of emergency exits.
Was Sophie able to show Dimitri some goods?
After activating the alerts on the HOME SELECT application and contacting her network about this new search, Sophie was able to show her a few premises. Unfortunately, either the layout was too complicated or the property was not passable enough.
Recognizing these new criteria, Sophie contacted the surgeon again a few days later for a new visit: a property, located on Boulevard Sébastopol, built on 3 floors (basement, ground floor and 1st floor) for a rent of €20,000 per month. As Dimitri was very interested, Sophie started negotiations with the BNP Paribas agency: unfortunately, these were not successful...
What network helped our apartment hunter find?
Among Sophie's contacts is the “Inter-Cabinet Commercial Immobilier” network, intended to facilitate inter-firm relationships between agencies. By studying the offers available under Dimitri's criteria, Sophie spots a property presented by Haussmann Prestige Paris...
Located a stone's throw from the Town Hall, the property belongs to the Beaubourg center, it is of the requested area, well arranged, with a rent well below Dimitri's possibilities since he claimed 7,000€ per month...
How did the transaction go?
Absolutely won over, Dimitri asks Sophie to start negotiations. Our apartment hunter thus obtained a sale of around €200,000 instead of the €250,000 initially requested.
For these types of transactions, there is no question of ownership: the tenant pays an entrance fee (200,000€) and then pays rent (7,000€) to the owner.
After signing the documents, Dimitri invested €400,000 in the fittings — in particular the installation of an elevator that the owner also had to validate.
“I like to track down commercial premises! ”
With a client who was both ripe for the purchase and very thoughtful, Sophie had the certainty, right from the start, of finding the property she needed: from then on, this case could only succeed! Not to mention that our apartment hunter is all the more enthusiastic about looking for commercial premises...
“I am ready to ask Sophie for the future! ”
Open for a few months now, Dimitri's health center is in the making. For his part, the surgeon is very happy with Sophie's performance and intends to ask her for his other expansion projects...
