French House Check: the rural-France pre-offer dossier

Field notes

The service combines advert comparison with public-record research: parcels and buildings, local-plan restrictions, flood, clay, radon and pollution risks, energy data, and recorded sale prices. Its sample report separates findings into categories such as “constraint,” “resolve first,” and “clear,” then attaches concrete figures—for example, €9,000–€15,000 for drainage work and a local price range of €671–€1,270 per square metre. The site also states that permissions and physical condition remain outside the check.
