Property surveys in Bouliac : what you need to know

Bouliac sits on the right-bank hillsides above the Garonne. Housing is mostly residential: villas and detached houses on often sloping plots, many built between the 1960s and 2000s, plus a few older stone properties with outbuildings. Small blocks of flats are rare, and newer homes fit into an already leafy setting.

For a stone house built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory. Villas with a building permit dated before 1 July 1997 must have an asbestos survey: fibre-cement sheets, flues or old floor tiles are still common. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. Large hillside houses are often energy-hungry: the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) deserves care, as a G-rated home can no longer be let since 1 January 2025 and an F-rated one will be barred from 2028. For a let, the loi Boutin living area completes the file; for a co-owned unit, the loi Carrez (floor area). 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 flag clay shrink-swell on the hillsides and flood risk from the Garonne in lower areas. We work in Bouliac allowing enough time for large floor areas and outbuildings.
