If you are selling or renting out a property in Tenerife, you will usually need a valid Energy Performance Certificate, also known as an Energy Certificate or Certificado de Eficiencia Energética.
The good news is that this is not something most owners need to spend time worrying about. We can arrange it quickly and easily for our clients, so if you are planning to sell, rent or prepare your property for the market, we can take care of the process for you.
An Energy Performance Certificate rates the energy efficiency of a property on a scale from A to G, with A being the most efficient and G the least efficient. In most cases, it needs to be in place before a property is advertised for sale or rent, and the rating should appear in the marketing.
How do I obtain an energy certificate in Tenerife?
You will need a qualified technician to inspect the property and prepare the certificate. The inspection is usually simple and straightforward. The technician will normally need basic details such as the owner’s name, NIE and the catastral reference for the property.
Once the inspection has been completed, the certificate is prepared and registered. For most owners, this is a routine part of getting a property ready for the market, and it is something we can help organise without delay.
Do I need to arrange this myself?
No, not unless you want to. If you are selling through us, we can help arrange your Energy Performance Certificate for you as part of the preparation process. It is quick, straightforward, and not something you should lose time over.
If you are at the early stages and want to understand the likely sale price of your property first, you can start with our Tenerife valuation service. If you are ready to move forward, visit our selling property in Tenerife page for the next steps.
When do I need it?
In most cases, you should have the certificate in place before you advertise the property for sale or rent. That includes online advertising, printed marketing and estate agent window displays.
What if I do not have one yet?
Do not worry. If you are thinking of selling, this is one of the easiest items to deal with. We can help arrange it quickly so that it does not hold up your marketing or create unnecessary stress.
Are there any exemptions?
Some properties may be exempt, but most residential properties being offered for sale or rent will require an Energy Performance Certificate. If you are unsure whether your property needs one, just ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
Can you sort this out for me?
Yes. We can help arrange an Energy Performance Certificate quickly and efficiently for clients who are selling in Tenerife. It is a standard part of preparing a property properly for the market, and we will make the process as easy as possible.
