Why would a French property buyer need the diagnostic reports?

When you make an offer of a certain price before you have seen the diagnostic reports for a French property you could be making a mistake.

The diagnostic reports could indicate to you any defects that could impact the value of a property.

One agent we know working with his buyer made sure his buyer got the reports from the seller’s agent prior to making an offer. It turned out the reports showed the French house had asbestos in the walls of the living area of the home. This information was not in the advertisement and not mentioned by the seller’s agent during the visit but it definitely impacted the value of the property in a material way.
