Decided to sell the house inherited from its grandparents, in Pontivy (Morbihan), a good “Habitable but dilapidated”Sylvaine admits circumspect after visiting the technical diagnostician. He taught him that the house “Is not subject to Energy performance diagnosis (DPE) »»yet compulsory in the event of the sale of accommodation.
If the House of Grandparents of Sylvaine is one of the exceptions to this rule, it is because it is heated only by an open fireplaceexplained the diagnostician to him. Who assured her that she therefore did not need to make an energy audit. This document, which advises work to be carried out, is indeed only compulsory for the sale of individual houses noted E, F or G on the DPE, three letters corresponding to the status of thermal coland. No DPE for Sylvaine’s house, so no need for energy audit.
DPE: these dwellings that go from G to E … without doing work
No fixed heating, no DPE
“What will be the consequences of thelack of DPE and energy audit On the sale of the house? Doesn’t that risk putting off potential buyers? ”Sylvaine worries about the program Le Grand Rendez-vous de l’Emal estate (Capital/Radio Immo). The house “Not havingFixed heating equipment»»like a boiler, electric radiators or a heat pump, and being heated only by an open fireplace, it is not subject to the DPE, confirms Stéphanie Gaillard, spokesperson for the notaries of Greater Paris. An exception listed in article R126-15 of the Construction and Housing Code, alongside control houses, houses of less than 50 square meters, churches, historic monuments or mobile homes.
Stéphanie Gaillard is however “Disagree” With the diagnostician who ensures that the energy audit is not necessary. The absence of DPE depriving the buyer “Essential elements” such as the energy consumption of the house, Maître Gaillard recommends to Sylvaine to provide an energy audit to visitors, so that they determine if they will be able to carry out the recommended work, technically and financially. This document will have “”An impact on the sale price»»she admits, since he will provide the buyer from the material to negotiate him downwards. But it is better to sell at a little lower price than that hoped that no sale at all.
