Assistance to buyers, builders and building permits

Buying or building a house is an important act and it is important to ensure the absence of possible problems linked to technological or natural risks. With 100% of Var municipalities affected by the risk of Forest Fire, it is appropriate to check a certain number of very important points because they have serious consequences. In areas subject to Legal Clearing Obligations, the risk of Forest Fire exists strongly, and it is appropriate to prioritize assessing the hazard, the issues and the existing or possible defensibility after carrying out specific developments which will at least comply with the numerous regulations.

Finally, we must not forget that today, the transfer of a property concerned by the OLD is only conditional on compliance with this obligation, within the limit of the only property on which the construction is installed. The OLDs will therefore not be compliant on the access road and peripheral spaces, nor will they comply with the DECI standards of the Var. The mandatory work to be carried out could amount to several tens, or even hundreds of thousands of euros in certain cases
