Energy performance certificate in Barcelona
Required to sell or rent. I visit the property, calculate the rating, register it with the Generalitat and hand over the label. €130 + VAT, fees included.
What is the energy performance certificate
The energy performance certificate (EPC, or CEE in Spanish) rates a property with a letter from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), based on its energy consumption and emissions. It is issued by a competent technician after visiting the property and calculating it with the official software, and is registered with the Generalitat de Catalunya.
What it is for and when you need it
- Selling or renting: it must be handed to the buyer or tenant.
- Advertising the property: the energy label must appear in sale and rental ads.
- Understanding the building: the report includes improvement recommendations to save energy.
Indicative validity. As a general rule, the certificate is valid for 10 years from issue. If you carry out a renovation that changes the property's energy performance, it is advisable to renew it.
