They have still missed off swimming pools where fitted. Biggest consumption of energy unless I engineered it.

"

Aujourd’hui un propriétaire ne peut plus dire “ce n’est pas de ma

faute”. On est passé du DPE informatif au DPE juridiquement opposable.

“Un vendeur ou un bailleur est désormais responsable solidairement avec le diagnostiqueur du diagnostic réalisé et on peut agir contre les deux” explique Maître Corinne Frappin, avocate en droit immobilier à Paris."

I do not see how a vendor can be legally responsible for an error in the diagnostique, unless it is due to the owner's having knowingly provided false information about the construction and hidden insulation of the building, whatever Mrs Frappin says.

I think you answered the question, false declaration etc.

Covered (probably)  by the thorny question of 'vice caché' which  we disussed a long while ago on here..

We sold a large old house relatively recently. All we provided were the last few electric bills and fuel bills. We burnt wood during the winter, all "cash" bought or trees we had cut down ourselves. None of this was taken into account for the DPE, which, given the paucity of monies we had spent on the bills provided, gave a very good rating of C! Thus it was not our fault the diagnostic chap was less than thorough in his investigations. No account was taken of insulation etc.

So on that basis, bills only a comparison between a house with a pool and a house without .....

Meaningless job for someone.

Don't forget that this only came in on the 1st July..
