Property surveys in Saint-Jean-d'Illac : what you need to know

Saint-Jean-d'Illac is a large forest town west of Mérignac. The village centre is surrounded by residential districts built since the 1970s, and many houses stand on large plots among the pines. Recent estates are multiplying, with single-storey houses that are often well insulated. A few business parks line the main roads.

For a house whose building permit predates 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is mandatory: 1970s-1980s houses sometimes contain it in roofs or floor tiles. Electrical and gas installations over 15 years old must be inspected. The CREP (lead report) only applies to homes built before 1 January 1949. If the property has its own septic system, the inspection report must be attached to the sale. For a let, the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and loi Boutin living area are mandatory: 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.

Depending on where the property stands, the ERP (risk statement) flags forest fire risk first, linked to the Landes forest. For areas closest to the airport, we also check the noise exposure plan. Saint-Jean-d'Illac is only 12 km from our office: we can often visit in the same week you call.
