More and more landlords are putting their energy sieve up for sale, housing classified F or G which will be gradually banned from rental from 2023. Some do not have the means, do not want to bother to carry out energy renovation work: they prefer to sell.

This is a great opportunity for investors and good news for tenants.

From next year, the least well-insulated accommodation will no longer be able to be rented.

In 2023 for properties classified G, in 2028 for those classified F and in 2034 for E properties. The Climate Resilience law against energy sieves will therefore oblige owners to carry out renovation work.

But given the scale of the sites, some prefer to sell as soon as possible.

Nearly 5 million thermal colanders in France

France has 4.8 million thermal colanders, i.e. very energy-intensive homes.

They thus represent 17% of the housing stock.

Property shunned by buyers, especially first-time buyers, and neglected by owners.

Because the scale of the work is scary, despite the aid system put in place.

According to the latest study by the National Union of Home Owners, only 30% of owners of an energy strainer plan to renovate it.

13% of them prefer to sell.

A boon for any investor according to Karl Toussaint du Wast, wealth management advisor.

"Obviously, he will play on his negotiation of the price by arguing that the property does not meet energy standards. And he, in his financing plan, will be able to integrate a pocket of work with a deductible or subsidized part by the State “, he details.

"Renting out a renovated property, which is therefore attractive, and which will increase in value mechanically since we know that a renovated property is a property that increases in value", he continues.

Another strong argument for investors: the longer an owner delays selling, the more the work envelope should increase.

Because energy renovation companies, which are overwhelmed with requests, will increase their prices, which will inevitably affect the amount of the sale.
