2023, a busy year for the real estate diagnosis sector

For Yannick Ainouche, President of the Fnaim Chamber of Real Estate Diagnosticians: “With regulatory changes, diagnosticians have become the cornerstone of public policy in terms of energy renovation. Nothing can be done without them: the DPE of course, but also the Energy Audit, DTG, PPT, Housing Health Record, Renovation Accompaniment...”

Overview of upcoming regulatory deadlines

January 1, 2023: a new version for the ECD

ECD is evolving. Among the changes, the appearance of information that is becoming essential: the final energy consumption from the first page which will allow you to know whether a dwelling can be rented out again or not. The new version of the DPE is also more secure to avoid future modifications.

January 1, 2023: haro on the worst energy sieves

The worst energy sieves, those that consume more than 450 kWh/m²/year in final energy, must disappear. “We should not expect a big drain in the rental stock, because the rental ban on these dwellings only affects new leases signed from January 1st. It is estimated that at most 150.000 to 200.000 homes are affected. says Yannick Ainouche, President of CDI Fnaim.

January 1, 2023: the multi-year work plan

The multi-year work plan (PPT) provides visibility to co-owners on the work to be carried out in the building for the next ten years; both for its maintenance and its safeguard, but also for its renovation. This PPT becomes mandatory in 2023 for co-ownerships of more than 200 lots and more than fifteen years old. Medium condominiums (51 to 200 lots) and small condominiums (50 lots maximum) are respectively concerned in 2024 and 2025.

To help, advise and guide households, in 2022 the State launched MonAccompagnateurRénov'. From 2023, the use of this guide will become compulsory for certain works financed from public funds. From January, the owners who embark on a global renovation must call on this support as soon as the amount of the work exceeds 5.000 euros including tax. From September, we add the work of two or more gestures benefiting from State subsidies whose cost is greater than 5.000 euros including tax and which are the subject of a request for aid with an amount greater than 10.000 euros .

February 1, 2023: MaPrimeRénov' revised upwards

April 1, 2023: The energy audit

Compulsory for all F and G single-ownership homes that are put up for sale, this audit goes much further than the DPE with several specific work scenarios, cost estimates, but also energy savings estimates...

May 1, 2023: REP building

The circular economy wins over all building waste. First expected for January 2022, then 2023, EPR (extended producer responsibility) should finally be implemented from the spring. More than 40 million tons of waste each year to be collected, sorted and recovered. Even the most dangerous like asbestos.

December 31, 2023: Deadline for DPEs in large copros

Condominiums with more than 200 lots have until December 31 to carry out their DPE for the building since it is mandatory from January 1, 2024. Regardless of the heating or cooling system, all buildings with a building permit building filed before January 1, 2013 are targeted. The medium copros (from 51 to 200 batches) will be concerned in 2024 and finally the smallest (50 batches maximum), the following year.

Reminder of the proposals made by the CDI FNAIM

• Supervision of DPE tariffs with the establishment of a floor price below which the DPE could not be sold in order to avoid price cuts which inevitably lead to a deterioration in quality.
• A payment at the notary at the time of the sale (if the customer has still not paid) to avoid unpaid debts which plague the profession.
• A certification system more adapted to the sector for small and large companies: that diagnostic entrepreneurs now have the choice between company certification and personal certification.
• The creation of a real professional branch, with the creation of a "D" card issued by an independent authority.
