A change in regulated use
In some large French cities, and particularly in Paris, the transformation of residential premises into commercial premises (offices, hotel, shop, restaurant, etc.) is subject to prior authorization for change of use, in principle subject to compensation. , under article L 631-7 of the construction and housing code (CCH).
“The compensation, translate commerciality, consists in offering the conversion into housing of premises deemed to be used other than housing” clarifies Séréna Tacheau, founder of Usecom Conseil.
In order to obtain an authorization for a change of use, it appears preferable, given the complexity and challenges of these regulations, to be accompanied by a firm specializing in the matter.
With its dual legal and financial expertise, Usecom Conseil is one of the most suitable firms in the French capital.
The firm thus supports its clients (institutional investors, real estate, developers, individuals, etc.) in the purchase and / or sale of commercial property in the context of requests for change of use.
Heavy penalties for breaches of the law
Support from an expert is in every way positive since it turns out that, if the use of the premises is not in accordance with the use (residential or other than residential), the owner and / or its user may be subject to heavy penalties.
The main ones are financial and amount to 50,000 euros, then 1,000 euros per square meter and per day on call, but also extra-financial, with the nullity of any agreement regularized in disregard of these regulations, recalls the director of Usecom Conseil.
Necessary and comprehensive support
To make matters worse, the criteria to be met in order to obtain an authorization for a change of use differ from one city to another, depending on sectors, coefficients but also transformation projects.
Support from an expert such as Usecom Conseil is necessary to ensure compliance with the various criteria required to obtain a change of use authorization;
not to mention the “time stakes” due to the rule of concurrency, adds Séréna Tacheau.
The risk being in particular that the city of Paris will issue a refusal to the request for change of use if the work relating to the premises which have been offered in compensation has been completed, that is to say that it is already of living quarters, at the time of the examination of the request.
So, in these big tedious maneuvers, but which can represent great opportunities for sellers and buyers, Usecom Consulting makes its expertise speak to the service of its clients.
To best support its clients, whoever they are, Usecom Consulting is based on strong expertise and a wide range.
In addition to the purchase or sale of commerciality, the firm also offers its services within the framework of obtaining “office approval” Ile-de-France subject to compensation;
