Hello, since I couldn’t find a dedicated topic about energy performance certificates, I’m posting this in general questions and hope someone can help.
My fiancée is currently in the process of selling a house with land, which she inherited. So far, everything has been negotiated and a draft purchase agreement has been prepared. The notary has now pointed out that an energy performance certificate is required.
My question is whether one is actually needed for this house at all, as I have also read about exemptions where it is not necessary.
The house was built around 1900 and is a semi-detached settler house without a built-in heating system; the rooms still have the old tiled stoves. It is not a listed building. The house has been empty since 2013/2014 and therefore is not regularly or permanently heated or cooled. My parents-in-law visit irregularly to keep the property maintained. The buyers plan to install a heating system themselves, which in my opinion reduces the relevance of the energy certificate for them.
Would a house without a heating system fall under these exemptions? It is not possible to specify wood burning usage in relation to the past years.
Thank you very much in advance.

Wow, Alex, built in 1900... such things didn’t exist back then.Grantlhauer asked about new construction. Yes, there is no requirement for an energy performance certificate. On the contrary, it is usually better equipped in that regard.

So a thermal insulation certificate is mandatory for the building permit,Where is that the case? We did not need such a thermal insulation certificate for our building permit (Bavaria). The only thing we had to submit along with the plans and related calculations was the fire protection certificate.

The only document we had to submit along with the plans and related calculations was the fire protection certificate.However, the architect guarantees in the building application that the single-family house complies with the requirements of the energy saving regulations.
The thermal insulation certificate or calculation will be provided to you later.
