Property surveys in Artigues-près-Bordeaux : what you need to know

Artigues-près-Bordeaux grew mainly from the 1970s onwards, on the plateau of the right bank. Housing is dominated by detached houses on estates built from the 1970s to the 2000s, alongside more recent developments and a few small blocks of flats. The old village keeps a handful of older stone houses.

Most houses have a building permit dated before 1 July 1997: an asbestos survey is therefore mandatory before a sale (roofing, flues, floor tiles). For the rare houses built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is also needed. Any gas or electrical installation over 15 years old must be inspected, which covers many 1980s and 1990s homes never renovated. If you sell a unit in co-ownership, a loi Carrez (floor area) measurement is required. To let, you need the loi Boutin living area and an up-to-date DPE (Energy Performance Certificate): G-rated homes have been banned from letting since 1 January 2025, F-rated homes will be 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 report clay shrink-swell, common on right-bank soils. Our team reaches Artigues-près-Bordeaux from Mérignac in around twenty minutes outside rush hour.
