Property surveys in Saint-Yzans-de-Médoc : what you need to know

Saint-Yzans-de-Médoc sits between the vineyards and the estuary. The village centre keeps old stone houses and wine estates, some with large groups of wine stores. The hamlets mix winegrowers' houses, barns and newer detached houses. Below, the low-lying land along the estuary is mostly farmland, with scattered buildings.

Large stone wine stores are rarely affected by lead, but often by asbestos: roofs redone in fibre-cement, flues, floor tiles laid before 1 July 1997. An asbestos survey is therefore essential for a sale. For homes built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory. Gas and electrical installations over 15 years old are inspected. Private septic systems are common, with an inspection report to provide. A let home must have a DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and a loi Boutin living area; since 1 January 2025, G-rated homes cannot be let, and F-rated ones will follow 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 flag flooding and tidal surge for plots near the estuary, and clay shrink-swell on the slopes. Saint-Yzans is about 68 km from Mérignac: we can combine your appointment with other jobs in the northern Médoc.
