Liz Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I believe it varies depending on the region. If you look in Yellow Pages www.pagesjaunes.fr and type in something like Amiante Diagnostic and the area you want you should find a number of companies who offer these services. I found http://www.experts-agenda.com/ where you put in the post code and it will tell you what is required. Like all web sites you would need to check that it is up to date.Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 The agent or notaire handling the sale will tell you what is required in your region, and will probably put you in touch with professionals who can provide the documents. Because some of the certificates have a limited period of validity (e.g.termites) it is not often a good idea to get them in advance of the sale being agreed, particularly as the market is so slow at present. The requirements do vary considerably between regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're selling the house yourself the agents fees can be negotiated with a trusted agent of your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
