Property surveys in Martillac : what you need to know

Martillac is a wine-growing town in the Graves, within the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The landscape alternates between vineyards, woodland and hamlets. Châteaux and their wine stores sit alongside rural stone houses and residential districts built since the 1980s. Buyers here often look for a house with land, within reasonable reach of Bordeaux.

Rural houses and outbuildings built before 1 January 1949 need a CREP (lead report). For any permit predating 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is mandatory, and it also covers outbuildings: barns roofed in fibre cement, sheds, garages. A gas or electrical installation over 15 years old must be inspected. Without mains drainage, the septic system inspection is part of the sale file. For a lease, you need the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and the loi Boutin living area: G-rated homes are barred from letting since 1 January 2025, and F-rated homes will be in 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), depending on where the property stands, shrink-swell clay and forest fires are the two points to check. We draw up the statement from the official documents for your plot. Martillac is 24 km from Mérignac: we come for village houses as well as properties with outbuildings.
