    Sources: Whilst every effort has been made to carry out independent research using exclusive partners within the local property market, the data cannot be insured by EstateNetFrance.com Research or its partners. Not all the data from the EstateNetFrance.com Research database is used in the monthly calculations. A number of exclusions are carried out to ensure that the final figures are not distorted. For example, properties tagged as sold, are not included and we have allowed for a 40% deduction in the number of units offered for sale to adjust for eventual double listings and delays in database updates from our sources. Even with these exclusions, the index is based on a substantial sample of prime properties for sale on the open market.
