The product is provided; the economic model remains to be defined. Former territorial planning engineer for Ademe (Environment and Energy Agency), Aurélien Péré, president of SAS Magendi, in Saint-Romain-le-Noble, launched a web application that lists land transactions built and unbuilt in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Midi-Pyrénées and Rhône-Alpes, since 2013. Called leprix.immo; is based on public data from state services.
Nothing revolutionary so far, the last one has its cartography. In addition, “transparency for land markets is written into the law”, notes Lot-et-Garonnais. However, his application has additional options, he assures: “There are filters on prices, per square meter or per hectare, their evolution over the years and on the types of properties.”
Remuneration for donation
The data are therefore retrospective. “In the economy, the way to value a property is either by the discounted value method, for example rents, or by comparison”, believes Aurélien Péré. When the market is opaque, a price is estimated, but the accuracy is lacking. My added value is data processing. »
About a hundred Internet users consult his page for free every day, he says. The new computer scientist devoted six months of work to this tool without receiving the slightest income. “Often, applications are free at the beginning, it’s a bet on the future,” he says. Neither commission nor subscription are part of their ambitions; Aurélien Péré prefers to rely on donations, he who created the application for citizens. “I don’t think it’s going well in France, you’ll see,” he thinks. The idea is to advertise my app, to see if people donate. If they work, great, if it doesn’t work, I’ll look at other models, aligned with my values. Or I’ll let it go. »
