On the Seloger site, which continuously displays 1 million real estate classifieds, a new criterion for searching goods for rent or for sale has just appeared: the diagnosis of energy performance (DPE). Between the boxes allowing to check the offers with elevator and the announcements only with photos, the Internet user can now select the classified housing of “A” (extremely efficient) at “F” or “G” (excessive energy consumption).
“Five years ago, everyone didn’t care about the DPE, but today this criterion has become as important as a balcony or a parking lot, justifies Thomas Lefebvre, the scientific director to seloger and the aggregator real estate data best agents. The climate and resilience law turned upside down the behavior of the French. “
The text has prohibited rental the worst thermal colanders (classified as “G+”) from the 1 er January 2023, a prohibition which will be extended to all the goods classified “G” in 2025, “F” in 2028 and “E” in 2034. A measure whose objective is to push the landlords to initiate renovation work, to lower greenhouse gas emissions – while the sector of the sector Building produced each year almost a quarter of national emissions.
hardening of diagnostics
seloger, which brings together the announcements of some 30,000 real estate professionals, notes that these coercive measures have already resulted in a significant progression of the sale of thermal colanders, from 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Housing “F” and “G” represented 19 % of all the goods put up for sale on the real estate site, against 11 % two years earlier, indicates the group in a survey published Wednesday 1
If this increase can also be explained by a stricter obligation to display the DPEs on the announcements and by a hardening of diagnoses, it mainly holds, according to Thomas Lefebvre, to the behavior of owners “which anticipate the loss of value of their good and do not want to do work, all in a context of energy crisis “. This sales movement increases tension on the rental market: the volume of “colanders” rental advertising has dropped by 40 % in France over twelve months and, in Paris, the number of thermal colanders for rent even fell from 60 % on the platform.
