Building Health Check: anticipate, don't endure
A technical guardian for your French property, by subscription. Periodic inspections, detailed reports and works planning to protect the value of your home and avoid nasty surprises — especially if you're not there all year.

A slipped roof tile
Without monitoring: Unnoticed for two winters: water ingress, damaged timber, mould — thousands of euros of repairs.
With the Health Check: Spotted at the annual inspection and fixed for the price of a roofer's half-day.
A crack on the façade
Without monitoring: It widens quietly year after year until it becomes structural — and very expensive.
With the Health Check: Monitored from the first visit, measured over time, treated at the right moment.

Everything about the Building Health Check
What is the Building Health Check?
It is a subscription service that gives your French property a regular technical watch: periodic inspections, detailed reports and permanent assistance — so you anticipate defects and plan works, instead of paying for emergency repairs.
I live abroad most of the year. Is this for me?
It's exactly the situation the service was designed to cover. Your property is inspected regularly by a certified building expert, you receive clear reports in plain language, and if anything needs attention you have a trusted technical contact on the ground in France.
Who is this service for?
Owners of second homes, rental investors, SCIs and anyone who wants to preserve the value of a property and keep maintenance costs under control over time — whether they live in France or abroad.
How is this different from a property manager or caretaker?
Unlike a caretaker or standard property manager, I bring the skills of a building expert: independent technical analysis, detection of building pathologies, and a preventive approach — with no interest in selling you unnecessary works.
How much does a subscription cost?
Three plans exist, from €99/month per building, depending on the number of visits and the level of assistance. Additional services (full audit, damage assistance, project support…) are available on quotation.
Can I adjust or change my plan?
Yes. The plan is matched to the condition, age and use of your property. A free first conversation determines the most suitable plan, and it can evolve over time.
