The right value for your land, in light of what can be built on it
A plot of land is worth what its planning rules allow and what the market will pay for the homes to be built. We establish the land value a development scheme can bear, for the owner who is selling as well as for the developer who is buying.

What is residual land value (charge foncière)?
It is the price a building scheme can allocate to the land, once construction costs, fees and the developer’s margin have been deducted from the sale price of the homes. It is often expressed in euros per square metre of floor area.
How can I find out what my land is worth to a developer?
We read the planning rules for the plot, estimate the buildable floor area, then compare the appraisal of a scheme with sales of comparable land. You will then know whether the offer you have received is fair.
Do you also value agricultural land and land zoned for future development?
Yes, as well as subdivisions, plot divisions and land subject to compulsory purchase or pre-emption.
