Property surveys in Labarde

Property surveys in Labarde : what you need to know

Labarde is a small parish in the Margaux appellation, between Cantenac and Macau. There are few homes outside the estates: a handful of stone winegrowers' houses, village houses and farm buildings. Most of the land is under vines and, towards the estuary, palus. The property market is small and mostly involves older houses.

With mostly old buildings, the CREP (lead report) comes up often: it is mandatory for any home built before 1 January 1949. An asbestos survey is required for a permit issued before 1 July 1997, outbuildings included. Electrical and gas installations over 15 years old must be inspected. If you let a winegrower's house, the loi Boutin applies and the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) must be at least F today, then E from 2028, as G-rated homes have been barred since 1 January 2025. Off-mains drainage must be inspected for houses not connected to the sewer.

Depending on where the property stands, the ERP (risk statement) may show flooding and storm surge on the palus side, 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. Labarde is on our way to Margaux: we can combine your appointment with another job nearby to offer you an earlier slot.
