Property surveys in Gradignan : what you need to know

Gradignan is a green residential municipality south of Bordeaux. Housing is dominated by detached houses from the 1960s to the 1990s, often on tree-lined plots, and by blocks of flats from the same period. The centre keeps a few old stone houses, and recent developments complete the picture.

As most homes were built before 1 July 1997, asbestos surveys are very common in Gradignan. Houses built before 1 January 1949 also need a CREP (lead report). Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old must be inspected, as is the case in many houses never brought up to standard. In residential blocks, the loi Carrez (floor area) measurement is mandatory for a sale. To let, plan for 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 F will be affected from 2028. Poorly insulated 1970s houses are often close to these thresholds. 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 flood risk from the streams crossing the town and clay shrink-swell. Gradignan is a quarter of an hour from our office: we can often offer an appointment within the week.
