Property surveys in Lormont

Property surveys in Lormont : what you need to know

Lormont, on the right bank, has two faces. The old village clings to the hillside, with old stone houses and lanes leading down to the Garonne. On the plateau, the Génicart and Carriet districts hold the 1960s-1970s housing blocks. In between, there are detached houses and recent residences, especially near the tram.

For a flat in a 1960s-1970s block, an asbestos survey is unavoidable, as the permit predates 1 July 1997. The loi Carrez (floor area) is mandatory for any flat sold in a shared building. In the old village, houses built before 1 January 1949 need a CREP (lead report). Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old must be inspected. To let, the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and loi Boutin living area are required. Watch the ratings: a G-rated home cannot be let since 1 January 2025, and an F-rated home will be barred 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 flag flooding from the Garonne in low-lying areas, ground movement linked to the hillside, and shrink-swell clay. We check the prevention plans covering your address. Lormont is 14 km from our office: we handle flats and houses alike.
