All French property buyers should know they are entitled to comprehensive list of diagnostic reports that your French notary will make sure the seller gives to you.
These special diagnostic reports are done by a technician and the reports you receive depend on the type of French real estate you are buying and where it is located.
This article is written in 2018 and one of the items currently not studied in the diagnostic reports is the condition of the floors.
This may not sound important and when you visit the property you may just simply walk over and not notice the condition of the floors but you need to check for cracks in tiles, splits in wood, potential water seeping from under the ground and more. Get yourself a professional to check the condition of the floors so you avoid any surprise costs..
When you have a professional check get them to put their analysis in writing so you have a record.
If there are problems with the floors in your single family home address this as part of your price negotiation.
