He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himFrom 1 July, whoever wants sell house, must officially equip itself with a energy performance certificate. A certificate that classifies the real estate unit according to its energy efficiency, expressed in the amount of energy needed to heat one square meter for one year (sqm./year). What changes for real estate sales?
The norm is not new, and is already applied for real estate units built after 8 October 2005, or always if after that date restructuring has been carried out for which tax relief was requested for interventions aimed at energy saving.
The norm has aroused problems in its interpretation and applicability. There is talk of endowment, but without the obligation to attach the certificate to the deed. Furthermore, the sanctioning aspect is envisaged exclusively for the manufacturer, but not also for transactions between individuals. It is not established which party must do so, nor whether the certificate must be prior to the sale. In addition, some regions require it, but it is not clear whether they have a say. In short, a mess.
And in the confusion, you choose to apply the solution less painful for everyone; which then is the one proposed by guidelines of the notary, and to which notaries will abide. During the deed, the professional will inform the parties of the need for the certificate, which can also be produced at a later time. Saved the goat (the notary who warned) and saved the cabbages (the parties who will be able to provide, but without penalties for non-compliance), the money is also saved; in this case the 500-1.000 euros of the fee of the professional who should draw up the certificate. This figure could be lower if in a condominium you agree with the expert for a cumulative discount. In addition, the possession of the certificate could make the real estate unit worth more, especially the closer the certification is to A +, the maximum, in the classification as follows:
- Class A + when consumption is less than 16,25 Kwh per square meter / year
- Class A between 16,25 and 32,5 Kwh per sqm / year
- Class B between 32,5 and 48,75 Kwh per sqm / year
- Class C between 48,75 and 65 Kwh per sqm / year
- Class D between 65 and 81,25 Kwh per sqm / year
- Class E between 81,25 and 113,75 Kwh per sqm / year
- Class F between 113,75 and 162,5 Kwh per sqm / year
- Class G if the consumption is higher than 162,5 Kwh per square meter / year
