EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) · Vire

Energy performance for the farmhouses and stone homes around Vire

In Vire Normandie and the southern Manche, the housing stock is dominated by old stone houses, often heated with oil or wood. Thick walls but limited original insulation, period joinery and poorly insulated roofs all weigh heavily on the energy rating. Many rural properties end up rated E, F or G, the so-called energy sieves now closely scrutinised for both sales and rentals.

Carrying out the DPE before listing your property lets you know your A to G class, anticipate priority renovation works and strengthen your listing. Our assessors travel quickly across the Vire countryside, including the more remote villages where waiting times are usually long.

How is a DPE carried out in Vire?

On the longères and farmhouses of the Vire bocage, the assessor measures the living area and records thick stone walls, often poorly insulated lofts and heating frequently by oil or wood. They note the condition of the joinery and ventilation, then complete the 3CL method, which sets the rating regardless of how you heat day to day.

We prioritise responsiveness to avoid the long waits linked to distance from larger towns. Arrange access to the loft, cellar and outbuildings, and gather any insulation records: on this rural stock, they often make the difference between two classes.
