Property surveys in Saint-Sauveur : what you need to know

Saint-Sauveur lies west of Pauillac, where the Haut-Médoc vineyards gradually give way to meadows and then forest. The housing is that of a rural parish: a compact village around the church, farms and winegrowers' houses in rubble stone, and barns turned into homes. Newer detached houses have appeared at the edge of the hamlets and along the roads.

For an old farmhouse, two dates matter. Built before 1 January 1949, it needs a CREP (lead report); with a permit issued before 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is added, also covering barns, lean-tos and fibre-cement sheets. If the electrical or gas installation is more than 15 years old, it must be inspected, which is common in barns renovated in stages. Far from the mains sewer, many homes have a septic tank or a micro treatment plant: the off-mains drainage inspection is part of the sale file. For a letting, the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) decides: G-rated homes barred since 1 January 2025, F-rated from 2028.

Depending on where the property stands, the ERP (risk statement) may mention wildfire risk for plots near the pines, and clay shrink-swell, which sometimes cracks the walls of older buildings. The termite inspection is required in municipalities covered by a prefectoral order: we check the status of your address. For a longère with outbuildings, please arrange access to every building: we inspect them all on the same day.
