What does an energy performance certificate cost?

A consumption-based certificate usually costs under 100 Euro, a needs-based certificate several hundred Euro. The costs are borne by the owners' association.

What happens without an energy performance certificate?

Fines of up to 10.000 Euro are threatened. Furthermore, a missing certificate appears unprofessional to buyers.

Does the energy class influence the price?

Increasingly, yes. Buyers and banks are paying more attention to energy costs and renovation risks. A good class is a selling point.

Energy Performance Certificate for Apartment Sales

The energy performance certificate is legally required when selling an apartment and must be presented at the latest during the viewing. Anyone who fails to present it risks a fine.

Needs-based or Consumption-based Certificate

For buildings with more than four residential units, the cheaper consumption-based certificate is usually sufficient. For smaller, older buildings, a needs-based certificate may be mandatory. The certificate applies to the entire building, not to the individual apartment.

Obtaining via Property Management

For owner-occupied flats, the energy performance certificate is usually held by the property management. If it has expired (valid for ten years), the owners' association must commission a new one.

Mandatory Information in the Listing

Energy efficiency class, final energy demand or consumption, energy source and year of construction must already be stated in the exposé. We handle the correct presentation.
