A valuation starting from what your house keeps behind its frontage, a network of buyers already searching, and discretion whenever you want it.
A Chartrons house is judged on what stands behind its frontage. The plot is long and narrow, inherited from the days when it linked the street to the river, and nothing from the pavement says what it holds: a planted courtyard, a town garden, a former chai over three floors, a vaulted cellar large enough to entertain in. Our first task is to establish that precisely, then to put it into words. A buyer who has viewed four houses in one week remembers the one where we showed them what the street does not reveal.
We record the true depth of the plot, the condition of the period fabric, the quality and ventilation of the cellars, the orientation room by room, what the outbuildings allow. That reading founds the valuation and the story that will accompany your house.
We are currently working with buyers across Bordeaux, several of whom want the Chartrons specifically and have been waiting months. Your house is presented to them by name, with what matters in their eyes.
The quarter works as a circle: shopkeepers, antique dealers, neighbours and notaires all know one another. Many owners choose to have nothing displayed and let the network do the work, opening more widely later if they wish.
Surveys, presentation, viewings, notaire, completion: the same person follows your file from the first meeting to the handing over of the keys, and stays reachable in between.
The commercial heart: neighbourhood life at the door counts as much as the building.
Facing the Garonne, where the view and the volumes of the old chais make the difference.
The quieter streets and the bourgeois houses, at the edge of the park.
Immediate proximity to the historic centre, fifteen minutes on foot.
You open the cellar door, the cool air rises, and you watch the buyer grasp at once what makes this house rare.
A visit with no commitment, where we take the time to go down to the cellar and walk the whole plot. The valuation follows, reasoned room by room and level by level.
Photographs taken when the light serves the property, a description conveying the depth of the plot and the volumes of the cellars, and a record of what each space allows.
Every candidate is received by us, funding established, before crossing your threshold. In a quarter where you pass one another daily, that selection counts twice over.
We conduct the exchange with the buyer and their adviser through to the preliminary contract, then the notaire, reporting to you after each stage.
No. In the Chartrons, two houses of the same size share neither plot depth, nor cellars, nor address. We start from what your house keeps behind its frontage, the condition of the period fabric and the street. A reasoned valuation, never a price grid.
Rarely in depth. Buyers in this quarter often seek period character and prefer to make their own choices. We tell you at the first visit what is worth reworking and what gains from being left as it is.
Yes, and in the Chartrons it is often the route chosen. A house can find its buyer within the quarter's own circle, and you remain free to widen afterwards if you prefer.
Few, if the file is well prepared. We receive candidates ourselves and check their funding in advance, which lets us group viewings into a few slots agreed with you.
Agreed in advance, transparent, and due only once the sale is signed. The fee schedule is given to you at our first meeting.
One call is enough to arrange a first visit in the Chartrons. We come to you, with no commitment, and reply personally within 48 hours.
