Did you know that without the Energy Efficiency Label one cannot sell or rent real estate in Gipuzkoa? In fact, not having an up-to-date EEL is sanctioned, which is why, if you are thinking of buying a home in San Sebastián, Hondarribia or any other city in the province of Gipuzkoa (Spanish Basque Country) it is very important that you are aware of this information. The seller is obliged by law to present a copy of the property’s Energy Efficiency Label to the potential buyer and this certificate is part of the purchasing file to be checked by the Notary at closing.
I have compiled the answers to Frequently Asked Questions on this topic in this short but informative article.
💡 What is the Energy Efficiency Label?
The Energy Efficiency Label is the document that certifies that the property in question has an Energy Efficiency Certificate registered in the Register of Energy Efficiency Certificates of the Basque Country. It is a badge that indicates the level of energy efficiency rating obtained and it contains the Certificate’s registration number, if it has been updated, as well as its validity period. The validity of the Energy Efficiency Label is linked to the validity of the registered Energy Efficiency Certificate.
💡 What is the Energy Efficiency Certificate?
The Energy Efficiency Certificate is the document signed by a certified technician that contains information on the energy characteristics and the energy efficiency rating of a building or a part of it.
💡 What does the Energy Rating tell us?
The energy rating is the result of calculating the energy consumption necessary to meet the energy demands of the property under normal operating and occupancy conditions. It classifies the properties within a series of seven letters, where the letter G corresponds to the least efficient property and the letter A to the most efficient property, according to energy consumption and CO2 emissions compared to a base property of a similar type and location.
