In addition to the new DPE, which you must obtain when selling any real estate (apartments and detached houses), you will also need to provide a mandatory audit for the worst performing dwellings in the event of a sale. or a rental of an individual house only, or if you are renting your property.
The new DPE - energy performance diagnosis - is accompanied by a mandatory audit for goods categorized F and G (then E in 2025 and D in 2034). Roughly, it identifies the work to be undertaken to improve the consumption of its housing during a sale or a rental under penalty of not being able to increase the rent or being prohibited from renting it. This audit, valid for 5 years, will therefore be mandatory from September 1st for the sale of F and G classified housing (January 1, 2025 for class E housing, and January 1, 2034 for class D housing). Nevertheless, it is the date of the sales agreement that will prevail. It does not apply to condominium apartments.
As a reminder, for those who rent seasonally in our ski resorts, it is not necessary to provide an ECD to your tenants, provided that you do not rent your property for more than 120 days per year. Beyond the 120 days, you will be obliged to provide the DPE to your tenants.
In a detached house, the energy improvement work to be done is often clearer to you than in a building. In co-ownership, you will then have to decide on the energy renovation work affecting the entire building during a general meeting, this can take time or quite simply be refused by the co-owners.
