Property surveys in Talence

Property surveys in Talence : what you need to know

Talence, bordering Bordeaux, is defined by échoppes (single-storey stone townhouses) and stone townhouses lined along quiet streets. The university estate, shared with Pessac and Gradignan, draws thousands of students every year. You also find 1960s-1970s blocks of flats, recent buildings and many houses split into flats. The rental market is very active.

For a landlord, two points stand out: the DPE (Energy Performance Certificate) and the loi Boutin living area. A G-rated home cannot be let since 1 January 2025 and an F-rated home will be barred from 2028, which directly affects small older units. For an échoppe or a house built before 1 January 1949, a CREP (lead report) is mandatory. Residences whose permit predates 1 July 1997 need an asbestos survey. In a shared building, including a split house, the loi Carrez (floor area) is required on sale. Gas and electricity over 15 years old must be inspected. 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) in Talence mainly covers shrink-swell clay, which causes cracks in some older houses. We check the orders that apply to your plot. Talence is 6 km from Mérignac: we come quickly, including for a student studio to let before the academic year starts.
