Phase 7 · Taking the Relationship to the Next Level

List an Additional Property

A second property requires an amendment, a new declaration, and a new integration fee.

This is often the best sign that a property management service is working well: the owner returns with a second property. The process is then significantly faster than the first time, but it’s not automatic.

The dividing line is simple: everything that is attached to you remains, and everything that is attached to property is replaced. This page explains what falls on each side.

Landmark

Your status as a furnished rental property owner and your SIRET number are unique: the business activity is the same. The registration number issued by the city hall, however, is tied to the specific dwelling.

What needs to be redone, what can be kept

Element

Should we do it again?

Registration with the City Hall and Registration Number

Conflicting description and inventory

Yes, in full

Integration Package

Yes, starting at 360 euros (including tax), depending on the property

Housekeeping and Laundry Package

Yes, recalculated based on the area and number of beds

Proof of Insurance

Yes, if the new property is not already covered

Marketing Parameters

Yes, they are specific to each unit

Furnished Rental Status and SIRET Number

No, there is only one activity

The Course

It’s shorter than the first one, for three reasons: you know how the process works, you’re familiar with the paperwork, and the relationship has already been established. Most of the time now is spent getting the apartment ready and handling the formalities specific to the property, rather than learning how the process works.

The steps themselves remain the same as those described on page 3.1: eligibility check, paperwork, property preparation, photo shoot, joint property inspection report, creating the listing, and posting it online.

Good to Know

The addition is formalized through an amendment to the existing contract, not through a new contract. Any discount on the second property is addressed in the same amendment, on a property-by-property basis.

What really varies from one property to another

Listing platforms. An apartment is typically listed on Airbnb and Booking, while a house is listed on Airbnb and Abritel. The type of property determines the choice.
Seasonality. A studio apartment near downtown and a villa with a pool don't see the same level of occupancy throughout the year.
The cleaning fee. It is recalculated based on the treated area and the number of sleeping accommodations, and is never carried over from one property to another.
Condominium restrictions. Each building has its own rules: the rules for the first property do not affect those for the second.

The Mistake to Avoid

Apply the results from the first property to the second. Location and property type have a much greater impact on performance than the quality of management: a good first property does not guarantee a good second one.

Points to Watch For

Check eligibility before making any commitment. Co-ownership, use, energy efficiency, and habitability: the five checks listed on page 0.5 apply again, in their entirety.
You must file a new declaration with the city hall. A registration number cannot be transferred from one residence to another.
A second business property tax assessment will be issued in the municipality where the new property is located. Page 6.5 explains the process in detail.
Plan ahead for the cumulative effect of tax thresholds. The income from both properties is combined for the purposes of the micro-BIC limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to sign a new contract?

No, an amendment to the existing contract is sufficient. The formal requirements are described on page 7.1.

Is the integration fee due a second time?

Yes. It covers services specific to real estate: a photo shoot, a joint property description, and creating the listing. The price starts at 360 euros (including tax) and depends on the property.

Do I need to create a new SIRET number?

No. The furnished rental business is considered a single business, regardless of the number of units operated.

Does the trip take less time?

Yes, more or less. The steps remain the same, but they follow one another more quickly; most of the time is now spent on preparing the home and handling the administrative formalities specific to that process.
