Property surveys in Carbon-Blanc : what you need to know

Carbon-Blanc, on the right bank, saw strong urban growth from the 1960s. The centre keeps old stone houses. Around it, housing consists of detached houses from the 1960s to the 1990s, small blocks of flats and recent developments, particularly along the roads linking the town to Bordeaux.

Houses and blocks with a building permit dated before 1 July 1997 must have an asbestos survey before a sale. Houses in the centre built before 1 January 1949 also need a CREP (lead report). Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. In co-ownership, we measure the loi Carrez (floor area). For a landlord, the loi Boutin living area and the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) are essential: since 1 January 2025 a G-rated home can no longer be let, and the ban will extend to F in 2028. If your DPE is poor, we explain which items weigh most on the rating. 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 and, in low areas near watercourses, flood risk. We reach Carbon-Blanc via the ring road and send your reports promptly after the visit.
