Property surveys in Arsac : what you need to know

Arsac belongs to the Margaux appellation, but much of its land is wooded. The village mixes older stone houses and modern homes. Wine estates take up the eastern part, with wine stores and winegrowers' houses. Elsewhere, many housing estates are home to households working in the Bordeaux area, and detached houses have been built at the edge of the forest.

In Arsac, the modern house sits next to the winegrower's house. For the first, expect a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate), an ERP (risk statement) and, if the installation is over 15 years old, electrical and gas inspections; asbestos applies to permits issued before 1 July 1997, common on the older estates. For the second, add a CREP (lead report) if it was built before 1 January 1949. For lettings, the DPE carries real weight: G-rated homes barred since 1 January 2025, F-rated from 2028, and floor area measured under the loi Boutin. Houses at the forest edge that are not on the sewer have off-mains drainage to be inspected.

Depending on where the property stands, the ERP may mention wildfire risk for wooded plots, and clay shrink-swell, worth watching on houses that show cracks. The termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the status of your address. Arsac is among the Médoc towns closest to our Mérignac office, so lead times there are short.
