Property surveys in Mérignac : what you need to know

Mérignac is our home town: CBDI has its head office here. We know the variety of its buildings, district by district. In Arlac and Capeyron, you find échoppes (single-storey stone townhouses) and townhouses close to Bordeaux. Le Burck, Chemin-Long and Les Eyquems mix houses from the 1950s to the 1980s, blocks of flats and recent schemes. The town centre has densified with many new buildings.

This variety shows in the reports. An échoppe built before 1 January 1949 needs a CREP (lead report). A house or residence whose permit predates 1 July 1997 requires an asbestos survey. In the many shared buildings, the loi Carrez (floor area) is mandatory for every sale. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old must be checked. Landlords need the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and the loi Boutin living area: 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.

For the ERP (risk statement), Mérignac airport is a key point: depending on where the property stands, the address may fall within the noise exposure plan, which we always check. Shrink-swell clay also needs examining. Because we are based here, we can often come within 48 hours and deliver the full file straight after.
