Property surveys in Cissac-Médoc

Property surveys in Cissac-Médoc : what you need to know

Cissac-Médoc lies back from the estuary, west of Pauillac. Haut-Médoc appellation vineyards cover the east of the municipality, with wine estates, their wine stores and main houses. The village centre mixes stone houses and more recent buildings. Towards the west, the forest takes over and housing becomes more scattered, with detached and isolated houses.

In Cissac, older houses and modern ones sell in equal measure. For the former, built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory. For the latter, if the permit predates 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is mandatory too, garage and garden shed included. Wine stores and sheds on wine estates fall under the same survey. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. Private septic systems are common in the wooded areas. To let, you need the loi Boutin living area and a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate): a G-rated home can no longer be let since 1 January 2025, and the same will apply to F in 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 wildfire for homes near the pines and clay shrink-swell, common on vineyard soils. About 55 km from Mérignac, Cissac is part of our regular trips into the Haut-Médoc, often with an appointment available within the week.
