Real estate database take-off

28 February 2011

The POLYINVEST project seeks to put onto the market real estates in public ownership that could represent an interest for investors who want to develop a business related to the partner areas’ potentials (i.e. in terms of touristic activities, availability of commercial spaces, etc.). The partners from eight countries decided to elaborate an Internet presence as one of the main tools of attracting investors.

What objectives shall the POLYINVEST Internet presence fulfill?

• To provide an overview on the types, conditions, infrastructural details and locations of real estates appropriate for investment.
• To inform visitors on the economic, geographic, social and demographic characteristics, funding possibilities and perspectives of the place they are located in.
• To provide an overview of administrative and legal procedures related to the alienation or rental of public property and to public-private partnerships.
• To make it easy to get in touch with the organisation responsible for utilising the property.
• To provide a short summary and news on the course of the project, the partners and newsletters to download.

How does it work?

POLYINVEST startpage: clicking on www.polyinvest.eu domain the partners provide the latest news on the course of the project, also presenting their target areas with fascinating photographs. By clicking on the target areas on the graphical map in the top, the visitors reach the partner sites directly.

The most important information on the specific region, on the proprties and contact always appear in sight. Both the regional and the property characteristics have a basic and a more detailed description. Detailed map makes it easier to identify immediately, where the property is to be found. Potential investors can search the database narrowing the results down to the type, size or location of the property or the intention of the owner (alienate, rent, PPP). Visitors will find photo gallery of the estates, and it is also possible to download pdf documents with additional information, such as floorplans, brochures or other tools to make the offers as attractive as possible.

Made in partnership

The Internet solutions of the POLYINVEST project synthesise the results of the market analysis and the legislative and administartive surveys carried out by partners as well as structure the available data in a user friendly form. Every project partner contributed to the design and structure of the database based on information gained during the previous data collection activities.

Regions and / or municipalities can upload their input via an administrative interface to keep the platform updated. The database is going to be maintained at least for two years following the end of the project period (that is January 2012). Project partners work together to test and refine the Internet presence continuously, even after negotiations with investors had been made.
