One nuance: all four protections may not need identical remedies. A failed finance condition, low valuation and serious inspection result are different events, so the contract should not blur them together.
Could a delayed completion increase Felix’s carrying or financing costs? Flexibility should mean offering dates that work for both sides, not giving the seller an unlimited timetable.
I still wouldn’t make energy the centre of the exercise. At MAD 1,663,000 to MAD 2,495,000, differences in overall condition may swamp any isolated efficiency feature. First test whether energy adds an explanation after condition is accounted for.
Agreed, though completed sales alone may arrive too late to explain the current listings. Price-cut timing and withdrawals can provide an earlier signal. I’d compare how quickly similar homes change price rather than treating every listing that reaches 73 days alike.
I wouldn’t read buyer behaviour from the 73-day figure alone. Separate completed sales, withdrawn properties and homes still advertised. If weaker-energy homes disappear without selling, that looks very different from them completing after a price cut.
A caution on completed prices: even accurate figures describe past deals, not automatically current value. They are evidence, not a price list. Timing, condition and seller circumstances can limit how directly one transaction applies to another.
I wouldn’t jump straight to the asking figure. First test whether those properties are genuinely comparable and whether they actually rent at that level. Then estimate the total cost of losing this tenant, including vacancy and preparation work. A smaller increase offered with a clear renewal...
