Energy efficiency report (DPE) – Termites – Lead – Asbestos – Gas – Electricity – Habitable surface (Loi Carrez) – Swimming pool security – Natural and technological risk and soil report – water police report for a lake
1) The energy efficiency report (DPE) prepared by an independent company (required before we can advertise, and displayed in the advert)
2) The remaining obligatory reports are conducted by an independent company once an offer has been agreed. If you have them all done at this stage it’s better, it helps avoid any surprises and renegotiation later.
Most of the reports are for the buyer’s information only.
Sewage (Assainissement)
3) A valid fosse inspection report must be less than 3 years old at the time of completion. In some cases, a mains drainage (tout à l’égout) connection report may be required.

Other costs
Before completion, you’ll need to have the septic tank emptied, the chimneys swept, and the boiler serviced (if applicable).
For the items listed 1 2 & 3, and with your permission, we can arrange these for you and allow access to the property for inspectors/artisans if you are absent.
