Property surveys in Eysines : what you need to know

Eysines was long a market-gardening area on the edge of Bordeaux, and traces remain in its housing. The village has old stone houses and former market gardeners' homes. The rest of the town filled with detached houses from the 1960s to the 2000s, then residences and recent estates.

For a market gardener's or village house built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is required for sale and letting alike. Houses with a building permit dated before 1 July 1997 must have an asbestos survey. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. In recent co-owned residences, the loi Carrez (floor area) measurement is mandatory for a sale. For letting, 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, an F-rated one will be barred from 2028. Older houses extended over time need an accurate survey of floor areas and equipment. 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 flooding from the jalles (local streams) that cross the town's lower land, as well as clay shrink-swell. Eysines borders Mérignac: we can often visit within the week.
