The risks to know for the owners in 2025

Have you invested in rent houses? Perfect. Unless this accommodation is a thermal colander. Since 2025, this term will no longer be a simple energy label, but a real regulatory cleaver. Non -existent thermal insulation, indecent energy consumption, absence of energy renewal: so many defects that risk transforming a property for rent into a financial burden. Faced with the acceleration of the energy transition, the owners of the owners must react, quickly and well. Because the rent of energy that consume energy will soon be prohibited … or ruinous.

Regulations that no longer leave the choice

From 1 January 2025, all housing racesses G (worst energy performance) will be prohibited for rental. The following deadline? 2028 For the classified F. housing, tolerance decreases and the pressure increases. Those who believed they could rent their property without worrying about thermal insulation will quickly disillusioned.

This evolution is not anecdotal. According to the National Observatory for the renewal of energy, 7.2 million homes are now considered thermal cholans in France. Most of these assets are rented. The state aims at their progressive eradication to align housing stocks with European climatic objectives. And for once, there will be no administrative escape.

Another point not to be underestimated: the DPE (diagnosis of energy performance) becomes legally binding. Unable to betray the figures. The checks will be strengthened and the sanctions, very real.

Heavy penalties and a market of live rents

If an owner persists in the rent a thermal colander after the deadline, he is exposed to several risks. Fines, cancellation of the lease, unable to increase the rent or benefit from public aid to renewal. In other words, a positioning that no longer reports anything or even it costs.

But that’s not all. The risk of vacant places for rent explodes. The tenants, more and more informed, avoid these houses that consume energy like the plague. And when they remain, they require compensation or a job. The thermal coach therefore becomes a refusal on a market already under tension, in which the quality of energy is increasing in weight.

The consequences go far beyond simple legality. This is a financial, ethical and strategic question. Because continuing to ignore the energy performance of the accommodation is also to lose its place in an evolving real estate market.

Renew or resell: a strategic dilemma

Faced with the emergency, two options are essential for the owners of the owners: to involve a renewal of energy or trace the property. The catch? Renewal costs are far from anecdotal. Installment of the attic, replacement of the carpentry, change of the heating system … the invoice can increase up to 40,000 euros depending on Ademe.

For those who hoped to escape these costs thanks to the public help, pay attention to the obstacle course. The devices exist (Maprimérenov ‘, Eco -ptz, energy saving certificates), but the eligibility conditions are complex, long deadlines and often insufficient support.

Re resear, then? Not so simple. The thermal coffers quickly depreciate on the market. Buyers, better informed, negotiate significant discounts. And banks become cautious in financing this type of good.

The message is clear: procrasting is losing money. The acting is now still possible. But time plays against inactive owners.

An imposed energy transition … and unequal

This regulatory turn, although essential for the climate, also reveals an economic fracture. Not all donors have the means to finance a heavy energy renewal, especially in rural or tense areas, where rents do not always cover the costs incurred.

Some small owners, often elderly or modest incomes, are found in the blind end. Risk? A concentration of the market in the hands of rich investors able to quickly modernize the park, at the expense of social and territorial balance.

There is still a real support for the earth. Not only occasional help, but a coherent, legible and inclusive policy. Because wanting an energy transition is good. Making it accessible to everyone is essential.

My opinion: ignore the problem is to pay it double

You can complain about the state, denounce a punitive ecology or complain about the cost of labor. But one thing is certain: the thermal farmer is the new silent tax of the owners. And anyone who expects “still a little” before reciting risks to regret. Because the more the calendar advances, the more the help becomes scarce, the more sanctions increase.

So yes, energy renewal is expensive. But continuing to rent accommodation in energy limb will cost even more – in euros, stress and administrative galleys.
