Five things decide this file.

01

An unresolved building-wide water problem: live litigation over post-ravalement infiltrations, and a roof-terrace repair refused for the third year running while infiltrations are reported.

02

A €240,000 façade ravalement already voted and only partly funded; the share carried by this lot is €3,480.

03

A fonds travaux of €9,500 against roughly €850,000 of works identified across the ravalement and the ten-year PPPT.

04

Arrears of €47,800 across the copropriété, about 37% of the annual budget, with one lot in recovery.

05

An F-class DPE collectif, and a syndic re-elected on a vote that may not meet the required majority.

Recommendation · information, not advice

On the documents provided, this file weighs toward renegotiate or step back rather than proceed as it stands. The deciding factors are the water problem and the gap between identified works and the fonds travaux. Several points cannot be closed until the missing documents arrive. The decision rests with you.

Red flags

By severity

Ongoing litigation over building-wide water infiltration

Critical
« une procédure judiciaire en cours engagée par le syndicat des copropriétaires contre la société RIVIÉRA FAÇADES, à la suite de malfaçons (infiltrations)… Une expertise judiciaire est en cours. Une provision pour frais de procédure de 18 000 € a été appelée »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · questions diverses

Our reading: with the refused roof repair and the reported infiltrations, this is an unresolved building-wide water issue, not an isolated 2021 defect. Future cost is indeterminate; the €18,000 provision is already called.

Ravalement voted, €240,000, partly funded

Your share
€3,480
« L'assemblée retient le devis de la SARL FAÇADES AZUR pour un montant de 240 000 € TTC… 1er appel exigible le 15/03/2025 »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · résolution 6

240,000 × 145/10,000 = €3,480. A first appel of €1,160 was due 15/03/2025 and is unpaid. Who pays depends on the compromis clause, which was not provided. See Questions.

Roof-terrace waterproofing refused a third year, infiltrations reported

If voted
≈ €1,247
« déjà inscrite aux ordres du jour des AG 2023 et 2024 et n'a pas été adoptée. Des infiltrations sont signalées au dernier étage… Résolution NON adoptée »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · résolution 7

86,000 × 145/10,000 = €1,247 if eventually voted. The cost of inaction usually rises, and the link to the live litigation is direct.

Arrears of €47,800, one lot in recovery

Rate
≈ 37%
« un montant total de créances de copropriétaires débiteurs de 47 800 € au 31/12/2024, dont un lot faisant l'objet d'une procédure de recouvrement »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · questions diverses

€47,800 is about 37% of the €128,000 annual budget. High arrears push unpaid costs onto the paying copropriétaires and signal pressure on future charges.

Fonds travaux far below identified works

10-yr share
≈ €8,845
« le solde du fonds travaux obligatoire s'élève à 9 500 € » · « un volume de travaux estimé à 610 000 € sur dix ans »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · questions diverses ; résolution 9

€9,500 cannot absorb the €240,000 ravalement plus €610,000 of PPPT works. The shortfall returns as exceptional appels, largely on the owner of the day.

Syndic re-elected below the required majority

High · contestable3,310 / 3,110
« Renouvellement du mandat du syndic… Adoptée : pour 3 310 voix, contre 3 110 voix »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · résolution 5

To verify against the law. Désignation du syndic is an art. 25 decision requiring an absolute majority of all voices, at least 5,001/10,000. 3,310 reaches neither that nor the one-third threshold for an immediate art. 24 second vote. The resolution appears carried on a simple majority of those present, which is not the correct rule. This may be contestable, and it is a lever.

F-class DPE collectif

Moderate
« Le DPE collectif de l'immeuble… classe l'immeuble en catégorie F »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · résolution 10

An F class affects value and, for a buyer who intends to let, the letting-ban calendar (to verify; that calendar is being amended). The lot's own DPE was not provided.

2024 accounts approved over a conseil syndical reserve

Moderate
« une réserve expresse sur le poste « honoraires de gestion du syndic », en dépassement de 11 200 €… et sur l'absence de mise en concurrence du contrat d'assurance »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · résolution 2

A syndic fee overrun and an un-tendered insurance contract, approved despite the council's objection, then followed by quitus.

Lift maintenance contract €3,900 / year

Moderate
« Contrat reconduit pour un montant annuel de 3 900 € TTC »
PV AG 12/05/2025 · résolution 8

To confirm, not in the documents provided. The figure is quoted; the sense that it is high rests on a market range not in the file. Compare against comparable contracts before treating it as a lever.

Seller balances to clear at the acte

Watch
€3,310
« Provisions sur charges courantes exigibles et non réglées par le copropriétaire vendeur : 2 150 € » · « 1 160 € — statut : non réglé »
Pré-état daté lot 12 · 04/06/2026

€2,150 arrears plus the €1,160 unpaid ravalement appel. Whether the seller clears these at the acte depends on the compromis clause. See Questions.

Cross-checks, verdict & levers

Where it weighs

Cross-checks

Verdict in depth · information, not advice

Two things drive the file. First, water: a live lawsuit over infiltrations, a roof repair refused three years running, infiltrations reported at the top floor. These compound. Second, funding: €9,500 set aside against roughly €850,000 of identified works, so the gap returns as appels on whoever owns the lot when each one falls due. The arrears and the F-class DPE sit on top. None of this is fatal, but as the file stands it argues for a price adjustment or a pause until the missing documents close the open points. The decision is yours.

Negotiation levers

  1. €2,320 of future ravalement appels: ask for a price adjustment or seller pre-funding.
  2. ≈ €8,845 PPPT share against a €9,500 fonds: a décote basis on under-provisioned works.
  3. €3,310 of seller arrears and unpaid appel: make clearance at the acte a condition.
  4. The syndic re-election may be contestable: a governance lever, once verified against the law.
  5. F-class DPE: a décote and renovation-cost argument.

Scope, method & disclaimer

This Acquisition Brief is an analysis of the copropriété documents listed under Documents reviewed. It covers the governance, financial and legal-document layer of the copropriété. It does not assess the physical condition of the building, which is the role of the diagnostics techniques, and it does not value the property. It is an informational analysis prepared to support the buyer's own decision. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a substitute for a notaire or a lawyer. Findings are limited to the documents provided; where a document was not provided, the related point could not be verified and appears under Questions. References to statute or majority rules are general context to verify in the specific case, not a legal opinion. The decision to proceed, renegotiate or withdraw rests with the buyer.
