Property surveys in Le Bouscat

Property surveys in Le Bouscat : what you need to know

In Le Bouscat, older buildings dominate. Streets are lined with Bordeaux échoppes (single-storey stone townhouses), often with a garden at the back, and with bourgeois houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Around these older districts, a few small post-war residences and more recent blocks complete the picture.

For an échoppe built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory: old lead paint often hides beneath recent coats. If the building permit predates 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is also required. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old must be inspected. In a shared building, we measure the loi Carrez (floor area). For a 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 F-rated homes will follow from 2028. A termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the situation for your address.

For the ERP (risk statement), shrink-swell clay is the main risk to look at in Le Bouscat, depending on where the property stands. We check the orders in force for your plot before drafting the statement. Our Mérignac office is 6 km away: we can come quickly, often within the week.
