📋 FAQ: Works Report to Unlock Sale

Why provide a works report as a seller?

A transparent works report reassures the buyer and facilitates bank loan approval. Without report, buyer overestimates costs (+30% average) and negotiates more aggressively or renounces. With a credible report, sale concludes 2x faster (45 days vs 90 days) and at better price (controlled reduction vs wild negotiation).

How to cost works credibly?

Use 2026 FFB professional scales with min-max range. Include a 10% safety margin for unexpected expenses. Classify works by urgency (immediate, short-term, medium-term) and impact (blocking, negotiation, comfort). Provide certified company quotes for major works.

What price reduction to propose with works?

Market standard: 70% of works cost. Example: 30,000€ works → 21,000€ reduction. Buyer saves 9,000€ (30%) by managing works themselves. This reduction facilitates negotiation and accelerates sale. Never propose 100% (buyer must have advantage).

Do banks accept properties with works?

Yes, if works report is transparent and works/price ratio under 30%. Bank integrates works in loan if: 1) Detailed quotes provided, 2) RGE-certified companies for energy works, 3) Fund release schedule defined. Without report, bank often refuses the file.
