    Castelnaudary - T5 house with high potential and wooded land

    Castelnaudary

    Listed ~4 days agoView original listing

    Overview

    Our Analysis

    Priced at €1,233/m², this property sits roughly 16% below the Castelnaudary average of €1,477/m², reflecting the significant 'secondary works' still required to make the ground floor and attic fully habitable. While the high-cost structural items like the roof and insulation are reportedly addressed, the reliance on electric radiators in a 133m² stone building suggests high winter operating costs that are not yet optimized. Prospective buyers should prioritize verifying the quality of the 'recent plumbing' and 'electrical leveling' before committing to the finishing works.

    Next Steps

    Questions to ask

    1. Can you provide the invoices and ten-year warranties (assurance décennale) for the roof overhaul and electrical work?
    2. What specific works are required to 'finalize' the ground floor bathroom and WC?
    3. Does the watercourse at the rear have a specific flood history or maintenance easement (servitude de passage)?

    Documents to request

    • Title deed (titre de propriété)
    • Technical diagnostics package — DDT (DPE, amiante, plomb, termites, ERP, assainissement, électricité, gaz, bruit)
    • Land survey plan (plan cadastral)
