On agency sites the commission (usually 4 to 8%) is already included in the asking price. On PAP and the notaires sites it often is not.

No French site has a filter for detached houses; a minimum plot size does the same job in practice. Where a site cannot pre-filter something, we say so on its card.

These are your links, not the houses themselves

The houses are on the French sites. Below, each site has a button that opens it with your search already filled in. Enter your email address once and the buttons unlock.

Email me these links and my search profile

You can already see what each site turns up. Leave your email address and the links land in your inbox, so you have them on every device. If a site changes its search, you hear it from us.

Found something? Add it to your shortlist

Paste the link to the property. You can then paste the listing text as well and we pull out the asking price, the living area, the energy label and the number of bedrooms. Filling it in yourself works too. We add the town, the département and the source, and your shortlist works out the price per m².

We only read what you paste yourself; nothing is sent to a server.

    Alerts have to be set per site, logged in to your own account; that is not something we can do for you. Before you make an offer, check DVF to see what was really paid in that street over the past five years. An asking price is an opinion, that is a fact.
