Property surveys in Blanquefort

Property surveys in Blanquefort : what you need to know

Blanquefort marks the gateway to the Médoc. The centre keeps old stone houses and a few bourgeois residences. Residential areas are mostly detached houses from the 1960s to the 2000s, with newer developments on the outskirts. Wine estates and their farm buildings remain on the edges of the town, towards the marshes and jalles (local streams).

A village house or wine outbuilding built before 1 January 1949 needs a CREP (lead report). For any building with a permit dated before 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is mandatory: this covers most houses in the town. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. In co-ownership, the loi Carrez (floor area) measurement is due on a sale. If you let, the loi Boutin living area and the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) are required; since 1 January 2025 a G-rated home can no longer be let, and F-rated homes will be affected 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 mention flooding from the Garonne or the jalles in marshland areas, as well as clay shrink-swell. We work in Blanquefort for village houses and more isolated properties alike.
