For who does not have the means to invest 150,000 or 200,000 euros in a dwelling, the purchase of a car park or a House of good can be a good option. As much as for a fairly low entry ticket, performance can reach 5 to 7, especially in Paris. A performance far superior to that of a rental unit, even if it is part of an advantageous tax device. Reason for which good rooms and car parks are always recipe. In large metropolitan areas, while the car was really ready to pay high prices to be able to park in any tranquillity and law cited, that it removes arm turn parking spaces, it creates more as well as pedestrian zones and corridors of bus, candidates for the rental of a car park are legion.
In Paris, no need to explore neighborhoods that have seen grow of many buildings new (ZAC Paris-Bercy, Paris-left bank).... Idem in some older districts of the 14th, 15th, 18th, 19th and 20th districts. The vicinity of the stations are also to avoid as well equipped with parking places. However, the former sectors are more conducive. "Car parks are rare in the neighbourhoods haussmanniens," affirms Michel Platero financial Union of heritage, but it should be noted that this very specific market consists of an incredible amount of niche markets. A block of buildings to another, the activity is highly variable. "Sometimes just the construction of a single building with parking in the basement to saturate a neighbourhood. "The 11th arrondissement of Paris is a former sector, a number of buildings there were built which changed the equation", confirms Michel Platero.

Closer to home, more expensive
This is however not because parking is created that will be inevitably to success. In principle, the tenants are reluctant to do more than 300 metres on foot to reach their car, the ideal being a distance of 150 metres. According to the notaries of Paris-Ile-de-France, in the Paris region, the average price of a car park is 23.500 euros, with peaks up to 39.000 EUR in the 16th, or even 150,000 euros in the island Saint-Louis, on the garden of the Luxembourg and the sacred heart. But in this case, "this is a very confidential market which is only a few transactions per year", note, for its part, Jean-Marc Journo, the Agency of Parking pattern in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. However, more generally, it observes that in Paris "is destroyed over parking that it creates, it is really a market shortage".
Not to mention that it is not enough to find a car park. Must be easy to access, which is not always of itself. It may be simply ramps and narrow places that require delicate manoeuvres or authorizing parking than smaller vehicles. An element which minore price. The level of the parking lot also has its importance. A first basement remains more attractive than a 5th or 6th basement and may cost more but do not adhere to this single concept. "If it is more accessible, a 5th basement is better than a poorly designed basement 2", continues Jean-Marc Journo. Another element determining: security. The parking lot should be sufficiently informed, maintained and controlled access. The box, their prices are generally of 20 to 30 higher than those of a parking location, which does make them not very profitable in terms of investment, as rents are not always.
Good performance
In the 11th arrondissement of Paris, a box to 28,000 euros rue de Lappe, near the Bastille, can be rent 140 euros per month. One another, in the 18th century is currently displayed to 21,000 euros with 120 euros for rent to the key. "For an investment of 25,000 to 30,000 euros, we can build on a rent of 130 to 150 euros, corresponding to a yield of 5.5 to 6, estimated Jean-Marc Journo, this corresponds to a serious and resalable product easily. It goes without saying that, in the neighbourhoods who accuse a severe shortage, prices rise merrily. Avenue de Versailles, in the 16th, a simple location of parking to rents 180 euro. Rue Laugier, it is even more: 230 euros per month for parking sold 35,000 euros, or 8 performance. In addition to profitability, the investment in a parking lot has other: not large expenditures for maintenance and a very flexible rental lease. "The lease is only governed by the civil Code, indicates Michel Platero, there is no term obligation and, if you want to retrieve the car park, just a registered letter with a delay of a month's notice, but unpaid are very marginal."
