Property surveys in Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne : what you need to know

Saint-Seurin-de-Cadourne marks the northern edge of the Haut-Médoc appellation. Housing is mostly wine-related: estates with wine stores and main houses, stone winegrowers' houses, workers' cottages. The old village centre groups tightly packed houses around the church. Towards the estuary, the low-lying land is lightly built. A few small housing estates complete the picture.

Stone buildings from before 1 January 1949 mean a CREP (lead report) for a sale as well as a let. For any building whose permit predates 1 July 1997, an asbestos survey is mandatory; on a wine estate it also covers wine stores, vat rooms and sheds. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. A house on an estate held in co-ownership may fall under the loi Carrez (floor area): we check the regulations with you. To let, the loi Boutin living area and the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) are mandatory; G-rated homes have been excluded from letting since 1 January 2025, F-rated ones will be in 2028. Private septic systems are common outside the centre. 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 and tidal surge near the estuary and clay shrink-swell under the vines. We work on wine estates around your calendar: outside harvest time if you prefer, so as not to disrupt work in the wine store.
