Do you sell a house, apartment or land in Soissons? The state of risk shall inform the purchaser of the regulated risks that may affect ownership. It must be prepared early enough: in situations where it is required, it is delivered from the first visit.
Here's how to check a plot, use Georisques, understand the flood prevention plan of the Aisne Valley and secure the transmission of information.
TheStatement of risks, sometimes called « ERP » or information of purchasers and tenants (ALI), is a regulatory document intended to inform the future purchaser when a dwelling, building or land is located within certain risk areas. It appears, when required, in the Technical Diagnostic Record (TDD) transmitted to the purchaser.
It may include plans to prevent natural, technological or mining hazards, certain seismic zonings, radon potential, receding the coastline or other regulatory obligations depending on location. The applicable list is based on the texts and zoning of the property; All these risks obviously do not concern Soissons.
The seller shall provide the address and parcel(s), check the applicable areas, and provide the required documents and information.
The state of the risk also concerns a lot of condominiums. The presence of a collective building does not obviate information obligations related to its situation.
A land can enter the information field of the purchasers, even when it is not constructible.
The old or heritage situation of the building is not enough to determine its exposure: zoning and official documents prevail.
Soins is covered by the Aisne Valley Flood and Sludge Prevention Plan, Sector Aisne Avalapproved on 24 April 2008. The state services in the Aisne make available the mapping, settlement and record of this plan.
But the presence of a PPR on the municipality does not mean that all dwellings are located in a restricted area, or have the same level of exposure. For property located near the Aisne River as well as for a more distant dwelling, a check at the address and plot is essential.
Use the address of the property and, if necessary, the cadastral references. An approximate address may lead to erroneous zoning reading.
Compare the position of the good with the official prevention plan and its different zones, without deducing the requirements of a simple colour.
The applicable requirements depend on the area and nature of the project: work, extensions or changes of use can be framed.
Collect claims and compensation statements and related documents or work where relevant.
The official section of the Aisne prefecture dedicated to Soissons Provides access to RPP documents. To view the risks around a specific building, use also Geriatric. Always check the version of the documents applicable to the date of sale.
Public data also allow us to explore, depending on the sector, ground movements, the withdrawal and swelling of clays, the risks associated with old activities or other useful information. Some elements are used to inform the owner but do not necessarily fall within the same legal obligations areas subject to a prevention plan. It is therefore necessary to distinguish between background information and mandatory statements of the state of risk.
The owner may establish the state of the risk using the free public service. It is not mandatory for a certified diagnostician to complete this document, unlike DPE, asbestos, lead or gas and electricity diagnostics. The seller remains responsible for the quality and timeliness of the information transmitted.
Collect the exact address, cadastral references if necessary and the nature of the sale: housing, condominium lot or land.
Use the public service to display regulatory information and the situation of the property in relation to the zonings concerned.
Reread the indications and add the required elements: work requirements, information related to certain claims or graphic documents, as appropriate.
Keep the dated document and the relevant documents, then arrange for its delivery and signature by the purchaser within the time specified.
The Public Service online approach allows you to locate the property, consult the risks, complete and download the document. Check the items produced for your parcel before giving it to the purchaser.
Access to the official serviceThe status of the risk can be established by the seller, but other controls sometimes require a certified professional.
See our directory in SoissonsThe regulation imposes information earlier than simply giving the file to the notary. Where a risk statement is required, it must be made available in advance upon sale.
The advertisement of the property must include a statement that the risk information is available on Georisques. This obligation applies to the advertisements concerned, regardless of their medium.
The seller must return the risk statement to the prospective purchaser on the first visit to the property, when a visit takes place.
The document shall be annexed to the acts provided for in the texts, dated and signed by the purchaser. The seller retains proof of his surrender.
The state of risk must always be up to date. If zoning or applicable information has evolved, it must be updated prior to signature.
A risk statement has to be established since less than six months. A mere recent date is not enough if a change in regulation, scope or information in the meantime renders the document inaccurate: it should be repeated or supplemented.
The wording given by Public Service is as follows: « Information on the risks to which this property is exposed can be found on the Georisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr ».
A consistent risk statement is not only the result of a downloaded form. It must correspond to the property sold and the seller's known information. Careful preparation avoids contradictions between advertising, compromise, work documents and responses to buyers.
Check the history of events that affected the property and, in accordance with applicable rules, those that resulted in compensation for a natural, mining or technological disaster.
If a preventive regulation requires work for the parcel, specify the relevant requirements and the elements for establishing their implementation.
Confront the information of the private lot with the elements of the building and the documents that the trustee can communicate, without assimilating the condition of the condominium to the risk of the plot.
Town planning rules and the RPP may limit certain works. A house authorized to be sold is not necessarily free of any possible extension.
In the event of disturbances resulting from land movements related to drought and soil rehydration, the regulations include, in certain situations, additional documentary obligations relating to the remaining work. The file and the insurance documents must then be examined with the notary.
The DPE evaluate the energy performance of housing; theEnergy audit presents, in the cases foreseen, scenarios of work; the state of risk describes the regulatory information related in particular to the location of the property. These documents meet different objectives and can be combined in the same sale.
No. The municipality is covered by a PPR, but the exact situation must be verified for each address and parcel. Regulatory effects vary according to the applicable zoning.
No, the owner can himself establish the state of risk from the free public service, provided that it is properly completed. Professional assistance can be useful for a complex case, without constituting a mandatory state of risk certification.
When required for the property, it must be returned to the potential acquirer on the first visit, if a visit takes place. It should therefore be prepared before the first appointments.
No. The document must be less than six months old and updated if the information has changed.
No. Regulatory information does not necessarily cover all possible hazards or building-specific disorders. A result without particular zoning is not worth overall expertise of absence of risk.
The absence of the document when required may delay the start of the withdrawal period; incorrect omissions or indications may also lead to appeals. The notary must be informed without delay.
No. The presence of a regulated risk does not systematically prohibit sale. It imposes correct information, and special rules may govern the work or use of the good.
The seller may consult the official documents of the prefecture and interview the competent town planning department; the notary will verify the obligations related to the transaction.
