Property surveys in Ambarès-et-Lagrave : what you need to know

In Ambarès-et-Lagrave, the housing stock tells two stories. The town centre and old hamlets keep stone houses, long farmhouses and a few converted wine stores. Around them, housing estates spread in waves, from the 1970s to recent developments close to the roads into Bordeaux. There are also small blocks of flats, often held in co-ownership.

For an older house in the centre built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is required for both sale and letting. A house whose building permit predates 1 July 1997 needs an asbestos survey. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. In co-ownership, the loi Carrez (floor area) measurement is mandatory for a sale; to let, you need the loi Boutin living area and a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate). Remember: homes rated G can no longer be let since 1 January 2025, and F-rated homes will follow from 2028. A termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the status of your address.

Depending on the property's location, the ERP (risk statement) may flag flooding from the Garonne and the Dordogne, both close to the peninsula, as well as clay shrink-swell. From Mérignac we reach Ambarès-et-Lagrave via the ring road and carry out all your surveys in a single visit.
