Free quotation service for your property surveys in France

In order to sell a house or flat, you need to sign a purchase contract (“compromis de vente”) and provide your solicitor/notaire with the following reports:

• A termite inspection assesses the presence or absence of termites in the buildings.
• An asbestos survey checks for the presence of asbestos in materials or products in the property.
• A wiring inspection is conducted on the electrics in the house to assess its condition.
• Your property will be monitored for the presence of lead containing coating materials (usually paint).
• An energy report rates the energy efficiency of the property.
• A natural risk survey, gives information of local natural and technological risks, (called "ERNMT") that may affect the property.
• If the property you are buying is in a co-property (shared building), you will need a certificate of surface area.

All these obligatory surveys will form a file called the “Dossier Diagnostic Technique” (DDT).
You will normally get to study these surveys before you sign your sales contract ("compromis de vente"). Devis Diagnostic Immobilier
