Le dossier de diagnostic technique (DDT)
Over the last week we have been looking at a lot of houses, I was stunned to see so many British owned houses for sale that had visible twin and earth cable and british light switches one house had been surface wired from top to bottom in the stuff, I think the immobilier thought I was being pedantic when I pointed it out, so what happens with the Le dossier de diagnostic technique (DDT)?

The inspector may or may not mention that the system does not conform to the latest Normes Francaise but it won't stop the sale. If the Electricity has been disconnected then the system would have to be rewired to the normes and pass inspection by the Consuel before EDF will agree to re connect. I would touch an English wired house at any price.

I have to say that I have played with some electrics in the house, not to the extent KO is referencing. If a Brit buyer arrives, they may shrug, but I guess a French buyer would be concerned at the DDT flagging not conforming.
