In order to work as a real estate diagnostician, the latter must have solid skills and technical knowledge in the real estate field. These can be obtained by following a training course in an approved centre or via a Bac, BAC+2 type course in the building, HSE or real estate professions. For example, the professional degree in building and construction, specialising in technical property diagnostics and building pathologies, is one of the courses favoured by companies recruiting property diagnosticians. In addition, some diagnoses require certification, such as the DPE for energy performance diagnosis. Since 2012, level 1 certification requires a minimum of 2 years of higher education or 3 years of experience, while level 2 certification requires a minimum of 3 years of higher education or 5 years of experience as a property diagnostician.

The real estate diagnostician is a generalist technician in "building pathology". Today, he is essential in almost all real estate transactions, mainly sales and rentals. In these missions, he is often required to : - to inspect various elements of a building in detail to determine whether they contain asbestos, - to carry out surveys related to the risk of exposure to lead in housing built before 1949, - to determine the absence or presence of termites and wood-boring insects in all the wood of the property, - determining the energy performance (DPE - diagnostic de performance énergétique) according to the construction elements of the property, the hot water and heat production system, the electrical system, etc. He is also required to carry out other tasks, such as measuring homes (Carrez law), checking non-collective sanitation installations, diagnosing the SRU law, diagnosing the accessibility of buildings to people with reduced mobility, testing for permeability to art and putting buildings into joint ownership.

The property diagnostician, when selling or renting out a property, ensures that the property is in good condition and safe for the occupants to live in peacefully. They are able to identify and detect the slightest anomaly, which they will note in their report. He does not carry out any repairs or other work, but rather gives suggestions for service providers so that clients (landlords or sellers) can choose a competent worker. A detailed report is produced for each diagnosis.

In the context of a property diagnosis, the rates differ from one professional to another and according to the diagnosis requested. In France, several diagnoses are mandatory before a property is sold or rented out. Here is a price list of the price ranges for different diagnoses: - asbestos diagnosis: between €80 and €150 depending on the number of rooms; - lead diagnosis: between €130 and €300 depending on the number of m² (diagnosis carried out only on homes built before 1949); - electrical diagnosis: between €90 and €150 (diagnosis carried out for installations over 15 years old); - gas diagnosis: between €105 and €150 (diagnosis carried out only if gas heat is generated); - energy performance diagnosis (DPE): between €90 and €200 depending on the surface area and the building permit (the only compulsory diagnosis for the sale of a property); - diagnosis of risks and pollution (ERP): between 15 € and 40 €; - termite diagnosis: between €100 and €150; - sanitation diagnosis: between €100 and €150 (diagnosis to be carried out by the town's public non-collective sanitation service - SPANC). The trick to paying as little as possible is to have all the property diagnostics carried out at the same time and by the same professional, provided that he or she has all the necessary certifications.

In order to correctly choose a real estate diagnostician, it is necessary to take into account various parameters. Depending on the diagnosis to be made, it is essential that the professional has the corresponding certification; this can be checked with the COFRAC (French accreditation committee). Next, he should have his civil liability insurance checked, and submit the certificate with the diagnosis report. Otherwise, it is also important to check the reliability and financial soundness of the professional, since in the event of bankruptcy, the insurance will only cover him or her for 6 months.
