Publication year is not sale year

Retain each transaction’s date, scope and any buildings when comparing a 2026 asking price. A market report’s cover date is insufficient.

Regional differences matter

Safer’s 2026 publication reports €2,850/ha in the Massif Central and €7,880/ha in the Nord-Bassin parisien for the 2025 market. These broad regions are neither departments nor individual properties.

Species, ages and stand structure change how woodland is assessed. A visit helps compare hypotheses with the trees actually present.

Update the property evidence

Tree condition, recent harvesting, access and planned works may have changed since comparable sales. Request management documents, recent timber-sale records and extraction quotations. Then compare properties with similar size and context.

A dated report, not a fixed tariff for land

WoodWorth records retrieval dates and known source vintages. Departmental benchmarks use filtered DVF sales. The selected property’s value remains an explained approximate scenario. Explore departmental benchmarks.
