On top of the obligatory guarantee of surface area (loi carrez) for every residential property in a co-ownership, an order dating from the 8th June 2005 groups all analyses in a single folder of technical analyses that the seller must provide as an annex to the provisional sales agreement or, if none was made, to the final sales agreement. This rule has been active since the 1st November 2007 and the folder must include:
- an evaluation of risks connected to the presence of lead, as laid out by the law of the 9th August 2004 concerning public health and risks associated with exposure to lead
- a statement mentioning the presence or absence of materials containing aspestos
- an evaluation of the interior installation of gas
- a statement concerning natural and technological risks
- a diagnostic of the energy performance of the property
- a diagnostic concerning domestic electrical installation
The documents relating to lead and gas are only required when residential properties or buildings are concerned.
In a co-ownership, the document relating to lead only bears on the private section of the building connected with the residence and the documents relating to termites and gas only concern the private residence.
