Pre- & Post-Purchase Expertise
WHY A PRE- & POST-PURCHASE EXPERTISE?
HOUSE OR APARTMENT?
PRE-PURCHASE OR PRE-SALE EXPERTISE:
I am not disclosing any of these findings from my files (photos, address, measurements and preliminary comments have been excluded from this excerpt).
Conclusions:
The structural aspect of the building:
To the question: Does the building present structural weaknesses?
- I have not encountered any phenomenon of differential settlement.
- It will just be necessary to check the floor above the garage for one of the support like a T: minor rework. Structurally the frame is healthy.
To the question: What are the important works to be done to be operational?
- The plaster must be completely redone for the good performance of the building (waterproofing).
- The windows must be replaced: this will benefit the insulation of the building. The guardrails are
to be checked. - The interior insulation will have to be checked.
- The entire heating needs to be replaced: boiler and network.
- The electricity must be replaced entirely for the sake of compliance with the NF 15-100 standard.
- The bathroom is to be renovated by creating a static or assisted ventilation system.
The other aspects of the building:
Interior design :
- The building has remained in its original condition, all the interior fittings are to be redone.
- The doorframes will have to be changed, garage as entrance as those of the interior.
- The main access will require verification (metal access ramp).
The building that I analyzed does not present any structural defects, the envelope, the roofing, the basement are operational. All the rest is to be taken up.
The expectation of my client:
Know the truth to inform the buyer of the situation in all objectivity and sincerity, for an informed, honest, and peaceful transaction.
Post-Purchase Expertise:
It is the counterpart of the pre-purchase and/or pre-sale. The goal is to know what to expect and how to do ... an example is provided below, taken from our files:

The letters C-S-E correspond to the survey plan
Before doing any work we check:
- Whether the company exists in the trade or craft register
- That the manager does not change of management every 6 months
- That the company benefits from compulsory insurance and for the planned work: paint insurance does not apply to the frame, so we ask for the insurance contract as a whole.
