Energy prices have, of course, risen dramatically recently. Everyone has been affected by this. This has made people attach even more importance to energy labels. Homes with a relatively poor energy label sell significantly less quickly than homes with a positive energy label. This is no different for buying a holiday home. You simply want a good indication of the energy efficiency of the holiday home you're considering. As a seller of a holiday home, you may want to consider making the property more sustainable first. In all cases, it's advisable to have an energy label for your holiday home. This is currently optional, but it will soon be mandatory.
Starting January 1, 2024, it will also be mandatory for holiday home owners to provide them with an energy label. This means the energy label must be registered in 2023, so that the holiday home will have a registered energy label by January 1, 2024. As a holiday home owner, you can, of course, take the necessary measures to make it more sustainable. For example, you can insulate it, replace the glazing with HR++ glass, or install solar panels. Every measure you take to make your holiday home more sustainable contributes to obtaining a more positive energy label.
Homekeur works exclusively with experienced, certified consultants to assign energy labels to both residential and holiday homes. During the inspection, we consider all important factors relevant to the holiday home's energy efficiency. We primarily consider the size of the holiday home, the type of holiday home, and the year it was built. We also check the energy efficiency of the systems and the level of insulation. Naturally, we also inspect additional energy-efficient systems, such as solar panels. The more energy-efficient the holiday home, the better its energy label.
If you're considering purchasing a beautiful holiday home, it's always advisable to have a building inspection carried out. Homekeur is happy to do this for you and provides a clear overview of the property's current condition through a comprehensive report. We also offer information and expert advice in the report. If you're considering selling your holiday home, it's a good idea to request an energy label before selling. You can request an energy label through our website. Would you like more information or advice about the building inspection or the energy label first? Feel free to contact us without obligation.
The cost of an energy label (up to 190 m²) is only €349 including VAT. A certified energy advisor will visit you, inspect the property, and officially register the energy label in EP-online. If the property is larger than 190 m², we charge €0.65 per additional square meter. Do you have any questions? We're happy to help and, if desired, can schedule an appointment with a certified advisor right away!
