French real estate advertisement decoded and explained sample three

esreafrance

The French real estate market typically offers a large selection of property for sale but most of the advertisements are in French. It is really a good idea to learn how to decode the French in the advertisements. Your English speaking French real estate agent can help you but the money saving value they offer you is their professional ability to negotiate the best price for you, this is way more important than their ability to translate advertisements.

Here is an example of a French real estate advertisement for a house in French and I am going to do my best to translate it for you below. Note: the translation is not a word for word but a meaning translation. I am not trying to be exact just give you a sense of the property.

“cette maison contemporaine d’environ 127m2 construite en 2016 se compose : d’un jardin de 20m2, d’une cuisine équipée et toilettes, au rez-de-chaussée, un vaste séjour bénéficiant d’une double exposition, au premier étage, une chambre avec salle de douche et toilettes, au second étage une vaste chambre traversante avec salle de bains. Matériaux de qualité, lumineux et calme, Nombreux rangements, proche des écoles des transports et des commerces.”
