EPC and renovation obligation: what you need to know

The EPC, the energy performance certificate, uses a score and label to show how energy-efficient a home is. It is mandatory when selling - and increasingly decisive.

Buying a home with a poor label (E or F)? In Flanders a renovation obligation applies: within five years of purchase the home must reach a minimum level. Worth knowing before you sign.

So always get informed about the EPC and the possible costs. At Cicero we discuss this transparently at every viewing.
