Property surveys in Blaignan-Prignac : what you need to know

Blaignan-Prignac brings together two former villages, each with its stone centre and church. Between them, vineyards cover most of the land. Housing follows that activity: wine estates with wine stores and vat rooms, winegrowers' houses, small farmworkers' cottages. A few detached houses have been added to the centres without changing their rural character.

On a wine estate, the asbestos survey is often the longest job: wine stores, vat rooms, sheds and fibre-cement roofs built before 1 July 1997 must all be examined. In houses built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory for a sale and a let. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. Small workers' cottages, often let, need a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and a loi Boutin living area. Note: if rated G, they can no longer be let since 1 January 2025, with F to follow in 2028. Private septic systems remain common. 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 mention clay shrink-swell, widespread on Médoc vineyard soils, and flooding for low-lying plots. If you let several workers' cottages, we survey them together and tell you which ones have a DPE problem.
