EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) · Angers

The DPE in Angers’ rental market

Angers ranks among France’s most sought-after student cities, and its lively rental market puts the energy performance certificate (DPE) at the heart of every letting. In the older stock of the centre - tuffeau townhouses and period buildings - F and G ratings are common: poorly insulated to begin with, these homes call for a careful reading of their performance before any listing goes live.

With the phased ban on the least efficient homes now under way, Angers landlords and investors have every reason to know their exact energy class. Our assessors work across Angers and the whole of Maine-et-Loire to deliver a reliable DPE, factor in the specifics of the local building stock, and point out the most useful improvements before a student or seasonal let.

How does a DPE work in Angers?

In Angers’ building stock, the assessor pays particular attention to the thick tuffeau walls and old joinery, whose thermal behaviour strongly shapes the result. They measure the surface, inspect the heating and ventilation, and distinguish the sloping attic rooms of townhouses often split into flats. These observations feed the 3CL method, which is independent of your consumption habits.

For a student let, expect a short visit on a studio or small flat; for a private mansion, allow more time. Gather your renovation records: recent insulation or a new boiler can gain a class and secure your letting across Maine-et-Loire.
