You’ve probably heard of the DPE (Energy Performance Diagnosis). That well-known label from A to G indicates whether your home is energy efficient, or a thermal sieve.

But did you know that this simple letter has a direct impact on your property’s selling price?

📉 Lower rating = lower selling price

The study published in 2024 by the French High Council of Notaries is clear:

👉 The more energy-hungry a property is, the more it sells at a discount.
And that price drop can be significant.

Here are a few key figures from the study for the Île-de-France region:

• 📈 The median sale price of older houses rated A or B increased by 9%, compared to 0% for those rated F or G

• 📈 A house rated A or B in the outer suburbs (grande couronne) can sell for up to 6% more than an identical house rated D

• 📉 Conversely, a house rated F or G can sell for up to 10% less than a D-rated house

• 🏢 The same applies to apartments: a highly energy-inefficient apartment sells on average 10% cheaper than a D-rated one, while an A or B-rated apartment sells 7% higher than one rated D

💡 In short:

Insulating your home adds value to your property.

📈 Energy renovation: a profitable investment

We often see insulation or heating system upgrades as expenses.
But in reality, they’re also a strategic investment. Here’s why:

• 🔥 Improved thermal comfort: your home remains pleasant in both summer and winter

• 💶 Lower utility bills: up to several hundred euros saved per year, depending on the work done

• 🏠 Increased resale value: a well-rated home attracts more buyers and sells more easily

With upcoming restrictions on renting thermal sieves (F and G), renovating is becoming a necessity for many homeowners.

Priority upgrades include:
