Energy performance (DPE) in Saint-Lô: two faces of Manche housing

Between the town centre rebuilt after 1944 and the stone longères of the bocage countryside, energy performance varies widely from one property to the next. The flats and houses of the Reconstruction, poorly insulated at first, often score in the middle range and improve quickly with loft insulation or a new heating system. Isolated stone houses heated by electricity or oil more readily fall into class F or G.

Our assessor tailors each visit to the type of home, in Saint-Lô and across the Manche, and issues a legally binding DPE valid for ten years.

• Sale or rental: the DPE is required from the listing stage
• F and G energy sieves: rentals progressively banned
• Clear guidance to prioritise your renovation work

How does a DPE unfold in Saint-Lô?

The visit adapts to the two faces of Manche housing. On a flat in the rebuilt centre, the assessor records concrete walls and often collective heating; on a bocage longère, they evaluate stone walls, sometimes absent loft insulation and oil or wood heating. In both cases, surface, joinery and ventilation are logged for the 3CL method.

We cover the whole of the Manche, including properties sold through inheritance that have sometimes been empty for a while. Have the electricity switched back on and clear access to the loft: this allows a complete survey and a reliable report from the first visit.
