In 2006, M6 launched a brand new show called Looking for an apartment or house. Stephane Plaza, along with other real estate professionals, try to help individuals find the apartment or house of their dreams. This Friday, June 28, viewers were able to discover new participants, all eager to find the ideal property. Three experts looked at three files for this new issue of Looking for an apartment or house broadcast on M6: Stephane Plaza, Sandra Viricel et Mathieu Beyer. They all had a month to complete the challenges. Did they succeed?
Looking for an apartment or house : what happens to Loïc and Célia?
Stephane Plaza got to know Loic25, who made an appearance in The Voice on TF1. He lives in a studio in the 15th arrondissement of Paris that he finds dim and poorly ventilated. He wants to share an apartment with his best friend, Celia (23 years old) who has not had a permanent home for six months. So she squats with friends. They are both looking for rental property in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, preferably a furnished property. Their maximum budget in terms of rent? 1400 euros. After doing his research, Stéphane Plaza suggested they visit a first apartment located in the 15th arrondissement, their dream neighborhood. It has a bedroom, a functional bathroom and a fitted kitchen, all with an area of 48m2. Unfortunately, the owner has not given any news.
A few days later, Stéphane Plaza landed another visit, again in the 15th arrondissement, near the Lourmel and Balard metro stations. A furnished apartment, with big positive points, but too expensive. He didn’t stop there since he organized another visit, to the Vaugirard district. And the apartment caught their eye, as did the rent, below their budget. After submitting two applications, the verdict was in: Loïc and Célia obtained the unfurnished accommodation, the one they fell in love with!
Search for apartment or house : what happens to Myriam, Medhi and their three children?
Myriam (35 ans), Mehdi (37 years old) and their three children left Paris two years ago to settle in Lyon. “We spent more than ten years in the Paris region (…) Today, we needed a lot more greenery, but we wanted to keep our life a bit urban“, confided the mother.We made the crazy bet of coming to Lyon without knowing the city“, continued her husband. With the help of Sandra Viricelthey would like to find a large house with a swimming pool and thus leave the apartment they currently occupy in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon. “The idea is to have better living comfort (…) We would now really like to find this house in a privileged environment, so that we can easily grow our children“, explained Medhi. Their budget? 650,000 euros, excluding notary fees. Sandra Viricel offered them a first house which did not have the desired effect because there was no apparent entrance, despite a beautiful living room. They liked the second one better, especially because it has a swimming pool.. But the price has cooled them a little, since it costs 699,000 euros.
Myriam, Medhi and their three children were able to visit a third house with a real entrance, which dates from 2001. “It is priced at 699,000 euros.“, confided the expert who managed to obtain it at the price of 650,000 euros! After 48 hours of reflection, the family made their decision. And it was the house with the swimming pool that she chose, the second then.
Looking for an apartment or house : what happens to Madeleine?
Madeleine met with Mathieu Beyer who tried to help him find a property in downtown Colmar. At 76, she is retired after working as a nurse. She lives alone in a rented apartment where she enjoys entertaining her many friends. But today, she is looking to buy an apartment of at least 80 square meters which will be her “last accommodation“. She has visited several over the past eight months, but she hasn’t had THE crush. Her budget: 200,000 euros in stock portfolio. With Mathieu Beyer, Madeleine visited two, including one that she had already visited! He offered her a third property by refining a few criteria. After that, a fourth visit was organized and she really liked the apartment even if the price didn’t match her budget. Finally, Madeleine backpedaled… The expert didn’t manage to find her any property.
