Property surveys in Ordonnac : what you need to know

Ordonnac is first and foremost a farming village. Housing is spread between the village centre and several hamlets, with stone houses, farms and wine estates that include a house, a wine store and sheds. Towards the estuary, the low-lying land is mostly meadows and crops. Recent construction is limited to a few detached houses.

Here, a sale often covers an older house with its outbuildings. Before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory for the home. Before 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is mandatory for all the buildings: farm sheds, wine stores, fibre-cement roofs and corrugated sheets. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are checked. A private septic system is the norm outside the village centre. If you let, you need the loi Boutin living area and a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate); a poorly insulated older house may be rated G, banned from letting since 1 January 2025, or F, banned from 2028. A termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the status of your address.

Depending on the property's location, the ERP (risk statement) may mention flooding for low-lying areas near the estuary and clay shrink-swell. Inherited a family house in Ordonnac? We prepare the full file for the estate or the sale, even if you live far away.
