Property surveys in Naujac-sur-Mer : what you need to know

Despite its name, Naujac-sur-Mer is first and foremost a country town. The centre and its hamlets have stone rural houses, farms and barns, some converted into homes. Forest covers much of the land, and the coast remains largely undeveloped. There are also more recent detached houses and some timber builds at the edge of the pines.

An old farmhouse often needs several surveys. Built before 1 January 1949, it requires a CREP (lead report). If an extension or a shed was approved before 1 July 1997, the asbestos survey must cover it. Old wiring, common in family houses, and gas installations over 15 years old each get a dedicated report. Sewage is almost always handled by a private system: the SPANC inspection must be added to the sale file. A termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the status of your address. When letting, the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and loi Boutin rules apply; G-rated homes have been excluded from letting since 1 January 2025, F-rated homes will be from 2028.

Depending on the property's location, the ERP (risk statement) may flag wildfire risk, coastal retreat and clay shrink-swell. We plan our rounds in the northern Médoc to keep travel costs down in Naujac-sur-Mer.
