The three BARNES methods to value your house

Your house is situated in the canton of Bern, Geneva, Fribourg, Jura, Neuchâtel, Valais or Vaud? You're looking for a French-speaking Swiss real estate specialist to help you define the price of your property? BARNES responds to your request and offers you a choice of three methods: the online simulation, the remote valuation by virtual visit or in person with a broker. Represented by 22 real estate agencies spread out throughout French-speaking Switzerland, BARNES provides you with 100% local real estate expertise.

The online property valuation gives you perfect autonomy. You can use our online simulator at any time.

2. Receive an initial valuation specific to your house

The nature of your property (house or flat), its surface area, the number of rooms it has, the year it was built or even its condition (new, in good condition or to renovate) allow its property price to be determined.     

3. Finalise the fair price of your property

A visit to your home is the best way of defining the real value of your property in accordance with market requirements.

Answers to your questions about property valuation

Why does BARNES need your email address?

BARNES needs your email address to send you the valuation of your property directly by email, so enabling this important information to be communicated quickly and securely.

Is it necessary to make an appointment with a broker after having carried out an online property valuation?

Although an online valuation can offer an initial approach, it is highly recommended meeting a broker in person. This meeting allows for a more in-depth valuation adapted to the special features of your property, in addition to supplying personalised advice and a better understanding of the local market, essential elements for a successful transaction.

What are the consequences of too high a property valuation?

Too high a property valuation may lead to difficulties in selling, because the property may be perceived as overestimated by potential buyers. In addition, this may lead to an increase in property taxes and other associated costs, based on the estimated value of the property.

Is it possible to do property valuations of rental properties?

Yes, it's totally possible to have property valuations of rental properties. These valuations take into account the income generated by rentals, the situation of the local market, and other factors specific to investment properties to determine their market value.

How long does the valuation of a flat take?

The valuation of a flat can generally be made in a few hours, although the exact time may vary depending on the size and complexity of the property. For more detailed valuations, notably with an on-site visit, it may take several days to complete the analysis.

Does the online simulator rely on BARNES's property expertise?

Yes, the BARNES online simulator relies on our real estate expertise to provide an initial valuation. However, these online results may be less accurate than those obtained during a valuation in person where an expert can take specific details and current market conditions into account.

Is the parking space included in the surface area of a flat?

No, the parking space is not generally included in the living area of a flat. The surface area of a flat refers to the useable indoor space, while parking spaces are considered as outdoor or ancillary elements and are therefore not counted in the living area.

Is a balcony or roof terrace included in the surface area of a flat?

In general, a balcony or roof terrace is not included in the living area of a flat. These outdoor spaces are part of the communal or private areas of the building, but are not considered as a living area, which is limited to the useable indoor spaces of the flat.

Are cupboards included in the surface area of a flat?

It depends on the ceiling height and the canton (region) where your property is located. Each region has its own specific regulations. It is advisable to have each property assessed by the nearest agency.

Our clients' feedback is important.

The BARNES agency sold our property in less than a month. Very attentive to our needs, our broker managed to organize visits involving us when necessary. An extremely professional person who reacts immediately to our requests and highlighted our property, notably through beautiful photos, some taken using a drone.

Based on a recommendation, we entrusted the appraisal and sale of our apartment to the BARNES agency. The preparatory file was quickly completed. After only a few visits, a selection of buyers was presented to us. All we had to do was choose, and BARNES took care of everything else, with both the buyers and the notary. Complete satisfaction. Thank you.
