Property surveys in Cussac-Fort-Médoc : what you need to know

Cussac-Fort-Médoc takes its name from Fort-Médoc, set on the edge of the estuary opposite Blaye. Between the river and the Route des Châteaux (D2), the landscape alternates between palus, wet meadows and Haut-Médoc vineyards. The village has stone winegrowers' houses, échoppes and a few two-storey town houses. On higher ground, the wine estates group a main house, wine stores and workers' housing.

For older houses in the village, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory if they were built before 1 January 1949. Any building with a permit issued before 1 July 1997 needs an asbestos survey: wine stores, farm sheds and fibre-cement roofs must be included. Some estates house seasonal workers or run gîtes. For a home let as a main residence, you must provide a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate), a loi Boutin floor area, and electrical and gas inspections if the installation is over 15 years old. Since 1 January 2025, a G-rated home cannot be let; F-rated homes will follow in 2028.

Depending on where the property stands, the ERP (risk statement) may flag flooding and storm surge in the palus near the estuary, as well as clay shrink-swell. The termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the status of your address. For a wine estate with several buildings, send us the list of structures: we price the full file before we come out.
