Property surveys in Bassens

Property surveys in Bassens : what you need to know

Bassens is shaped by its port and industrial activity along the Garonne. Its housing reflects this history: old workers' cottages, blocks of flats from the 1960s and 1970s, then houses and newer developments on the higher ground. A large share of the stock is social housing or co-owned buildings.

Blocks of flats from the 1960s and 1970s were built well before 1 July 1997: an asbestos survey is essential before any sale. For a workers' cottage built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old must be inspected. In co-ownership we measure the loi Carrez (floor area); for a let, the loi Boutin living area and the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate). A G-rated home can no longer be let since 1 January 2025, and the rule will apply to F from 2028: a reliable DPE helps you plan insulation work. 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 show flood risk from the Garonne in low-lying areas, clay shrink-swell and, near industrial sites, technological hazards. We come to Bassens quickly, working with your estate agent or notary.
