Haven’t got the energy? Only 13% of housing in Spain meets new standards for energy certification
- Only 650,000 Spanish properties are in compliance with energy performance certificates (Spanish Ministry of Industry Energy and Tourism)
- This figure represents only 13% of all Spanish properties (Certicalia)
- 100% of Taylor Wimpey España properties have energy performance certificates
According to the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism only an estimated 650,000 of all Spanish properties are in compliance with the rules of energy performance certification (CEE).
The online platform specialising in energy certification, Certicalia, has reported that this figure only represents 13% of the properties that should have been certified, with the lack of information about the need for an energy certificate and a dysfunctional adaptation of regulations in different regions the causes behind the “poor monitoring” of these regulations.
Interestingly, according to a recent study by Ecofys, a leading consultancy in renewable energy, energy & carbon efficiency, energy systems & markets and energy & climate policy, energy efficient buildings can cut bills and fuel poverty, and with strategic renovations, could more than halve European dependence on Russian gas imports by 2030.
Marc Pritchard, Sales and Marketing Director of leading Spanish house builder, Taylor Wimpey España, comments,
“CEE’s are essential when selling a Spanish home and property professionals should ensure that the CEE score of your future purchase is included in the property details. Failing to own an energy performance certificate can result in an already agreed sale becoming void, as well as the potential for buyers to claim compensation and the estate agent being fined.
“Here at Taylor Wimpey España, 100% of our properties have CEEs, removing the hassle that comes with sorting out extra paperwork when buying your brand new holiday home, not only safeguarding your property, but making the buying process as easy as possible.”
