Energy Certification

Transparency and security in real estate transactions

An energy performance certificate is an official document that indicates a property's energy efficiency and assigns it to a specific energy class. At Eurovilla, we consider it an integral part of complete and high-quality documentation, providing buyers with additional confidence and enabling sellers to position their property transparently on the market.

Legal requirement for sale, lease, and advertising

An energy performance certificate is mandatory for the sale, lease, and advertising of real estate. As an agency operating in accordance with applicable regulations and the highest professional standards, Eurovilla ensures that all properties in its portfolio fully comply with legal requirements.

Support in obtaining an energy certificate

Eurovilla provides full support throughout the process of obtaining an energy performance certificate. When required, we connect clients with trusted, certified energy assessors and discreetly coordinate the entire process, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.

Validity period of the energy certificate

An energy performance certificate is valid for ten years from the date of issue, provided that no significant changes affecting the property’s energy characteristics have been made. Prior to marketing a property, our agents verify the validity of all relevant documentation.

Advertising without an energy certificate

It is a legal obligation to state the energy class in property advertisements clearly. Eurovilla strictly adheres to regulations and does not market properties without complete and compliant documentation, protecting the interests of both sellers and buyers.

When a new energy certificate is required

If a valid energy certificate already exists, issuing a new one is not necessary. When the certificate has expired or the property has undergone significant renovations, we recommend issuing a new certificate to ensure the data accurately reflects the property's current condition.

Energy certificates for individual units

If a building does not have a collective energy certificate, a certificate can be issued for an individual apartment or commercial unit. This is common for high-quality urban, residential, and commercial real estate.

Timeframe for issuing an energy certificate

The standard timeframe for issuing an energy performance certificate is several working days, depending on the availability of documentation and the property's characteristics. For complex or luxury properties, timelines are tailored to the asset's specific features.

Importance for luxury real estate buyers

Buyers of luxury real estate expect a high level of transparency. An energy certificate provides valuable insight into construction quality, energy systems, and long-term operating costs, thereby further enhancing the property's overall value and appeal.

Consequences of missing an energy certificate

The absence of an energy performance certificate may result in financial penalties and delays in marketing or transaction completion. For this reason, Eurovilla strongly advises preparing complete documentation promptly to ensure a smooth, efficient, and legally compliant sale or lease process.
