Search the address and confirm the home
Start with the address or cadastral reference supplied by the seller. Review municipality, street and number. For a flat, also check floor and door where available.
A building may contain several homes, business premises and parking spaces. Choosing the correct property avoids comparing its area with the whole building. If something does not match the listing, ask before continuing to use those details.
- Have the address or cadastral reference ready.
- Confirm the flat, house or plot you want.
- Record discrepancies the seller needs to explain.
Check whether the report answers your questions
Consider what you need to know: surroundings, property details or questions raised by risk maps. Before ordering, check which subjects the report includes and which need documents or a visit.
Available information varies between areas. Read what can be consulted for this home and the product terms. Searching an address is the first step; a personalised report is a separate service.
- Make a short list of your concerns.
- Read what is included before ordering.
- Check the current price and delivery terms.
Read first what could change your decision
Begin with questions carrying most weight in your purchase. You may want to examine an area discrepancy, understand a marked map zone or check nearby services.
Then open the explanations, publishers and data dates. If a subject could not be reviewed, keep it pending. The lack of an answer should not resemble confirmation that everything is fine.
- Start with questions that could change the purchase.
- Read explanations as well as summaries or colours.
- Keep unanswered questions on your list.
Take your questions to the visit and seller
Turn what you read into concrete questions: which areas the listing includes, what renovation documents exist or how to walk to services you need. The visit can then clarify matters relevant to everyday life.
Record answers and request documents where necessary. Use the appropriate professional for the home's condition, building work or purchase papers. The report helps prepare those conversations rather than bypass them.
- Bring a question list to the visit.
- Request important information and documents in writing.
- Seek professional help where needed.
Frequently asked questions
Does searching an address give me a free report?
The search locates and confirms the home you are looking at. A personalised report is a separate service: review its contents and terms before ordering.
What if I do not have the cadastral reference?
Start with the address. If several flats appear or details do not match the listing, request the reference from the seller or agent to confirm the property.
