The gas installation survey

Category: Practical guidelines
Chapter: Property condition reports

Since 1st November 2007, anybody who sells a property equipped with a natural gas installation over 15 years old must provide a gas installation survey.

In the case of a condominium, only the private areas are concerned.

The purpose of this survey is to avoid intoxications and explosions caused by defective or incorrectly adjusted installations. The verification applies to the entire installation, hot water or heat production, cooking appliances, visual inspection of pipes, connections, ventilation, and combustion.

If this document is missing, the seller will incur civil penalties (bringing the existing installation into line).
