By buying her first accommodation, in 2018, Aline was far from suspecting the embarrassment in which this acquisition would put her seven years later. This 18 square meter studiolocated in a condominium Of sixty lots from the 19th arrondissement of Paris, Aline began by living alone. She has done work there, giving it “From a large bathroom and opening the kitchen, which offers a beautiful living room”depicts the young woman.

Despite her attachment to this first apartment, she left him in July 2024. She met her future husband some time ago and they have just had a baby. The couple therefore bought A new good, bigger. An acquisition funded by a ready-to-relay backed by the sale of Aline studio.

The DPE G, a rejecting for rental investors

Problem, sold in September 2024, In three real estate agenciesT1, “Yet in super condition in a well -maintained condominium” According to its owner, has still not found takers. In question: its note G on the diagnosis of energy performance (DPE), which puts it in the worst category Thermal TOCKS. And which prohibits its rental since January 1, 2025, as provided for in the climate and resilience of 2021. However, they are only buyers in search of a rental investment that are interested in the Aline studio. The G note of the DPE therefore acts on them as a rejecting, especially when they understand that work of energy renovation will not change much.

Aline has already installed double glazed windows, electric radiators with inertia and an economical hot water tank. But The note of his accommodation remains desperately g On the DPE. “It is because it is located on the ground floor, above the cellars, which causes heat loss”, explains the young woman. According to the diagnostician who carried out the DPE, only thermal insulation from the outside could improve the note up to at least. An essential threshold to attract rental investors because the accommodation noted F and E will in turn be prohibited from renting from 2028 and 2034, respectively. But “The other co -owners do not want us to touch the brick facade of the building and even less finance such work“, Until Aline deplores.

Impossible to sell off the property with a ready-made

A potential buyer has mentioned A purchase offer at 150,000 euros But without realizing it. And the young mother fails to resolve to “Bad” A good as she bought 149,000 euros and in which she has done many works. Above all, “Our ready-made is based on a sale at 156,000 euros minimum»»she worries. His last hope lies in thermal insulation from the inside, suggested by the diagnostician but “Without guarantee that this brings the note of DPE to D”. Works that may also make a little surface area lose a little area, that an offer at 150,000 euros still values ​​more than 8,000 euros per square meter.

In the meantime, unable to rent or sell her property, Aline lends him to a loved one. Who will free him because he has just found a rental, a two rooms, also noted G and yet still on the market despite the ban. But illegally renting his studio, at the risk of finding himself one day confronted a tenant who will assign him to obtain a drop in the rent, even his suspension, very little for Aline.
