Question 2062 — water and sanitation

Summary

Mr. Bastien Marchive draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention to the obligation to bring non-collective sanitation (ANC) into compliance in the event of sale. In the event of non-compliance, the work must be carried out within one year at the latest after signing the deed of sale. Information on the state of the ANC installation often makes it possible to discuss the price of the property accordingly when the autonomous sanitation system is not up to standard. However, although various aid schemes can be mobilized (zero-rate eco-loan capped at 10,000 euros without means conditions, aid paid by water agencies or communities in certain territories, reduced VAT rate, etc.), the cost of the work, likely to be between 10,000 and 18,000 euros, represents a substantial investment and buyers, rather than fulfilling this obligation, prefer to invest the equivalent amount in the development or refreshment work of the property. Article L. 271-4 of the construction and town planning code, however, provides that these must be carried out within one year after the sale but does not provide for any specific provisions after this period. The purchaser who has not carried out the work will be sanctioned at the latest within three years in accordance with article L. 1331-8 of the public health code. The information and awareness measures for notaries as well as buyers or sellers of real estate are clearly not sufficiently encouraging or restrictive, so he asks whether there are plans to change these provisions and grant notaries the possibility of retaining, during the purchase of the goods concerned, the estimated amount of work under escrow, until the installation is brought up to standard.
