Property surveys in Le Pian-Médoc : what you need to know

Le Pian-Médoc marks the gateway to the Médoc. The town combines an old village centre, wine estates and residential districts built in waves since the 1970s. Part of the area is wooded, with houses set on large plots. To the east, low-lying land joins the marshes near the Garonne.

Houses from the 1970s to the 1990s require an asbestos survey if the building permit predates 1 July 1997. Village houses built before 1 January 1949 need a CREP (lead report). A gas or electrical installation over 15 years old must be inspected. For a house on a large plot not connected to mains drainage, the septic system inspection completes the file. For a let, the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and loi Boutin living area are mandatory: since 1 January 2025, a G-rated home can no longer be let, and F-rated homes will follow in 2028. A termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the situation for your address.

Depending on where the property stands, the ERP (risk statement) may mention flooding from the Garonne or the jalles (local streams) in low-lying areas, forest fires for wooded homes, and shrink-swell clay. We cross-check this data with your plot. Le Pian-Médoc is 18 km from Mérignac: we visit regularly, often combining it with Parempuyre and Blanquefort.
