Market costs and premiums

Renovation~€150–300/m² per rating step (F→B = 4 steps = €600–1,200/m²)
ValueIndicative premium A vs G: 5–15%
RentIndicative premium A/B vs F/G: 8–12%
EPBDReference horizon: 2030 for ratings F and G

How we calculate

The cost presented uses the midpoint of €225/m² per rating step and also shows the low–high range. The value uplift uses 10% for the full G→A trajectory, pro-rated across steps. The rent premium is 10% when moving from F/G to A/B; in other cases, it uses 2% per step, capped at 10%.

The property type helps contextualise the scenario; the area already determines the budget size. Request quotes and an energy assessment before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

Before proceeding with the renovation.

How much does it cost to improve an energy rating?

We use €150 to €300/m² per rating step as an initial reference. The actual cost depends on the property, the construction system and the interventions required.

Does a better rating increase value and rent?

It can, but the premium varies by location and demand. The simulation uses indicative market ranges, not a guarantee.

What does the 2030 EPBD deadline mean?

It is a prudential horizon for assessing F and G rated properties. Transposition and national obligations may evolve; confirm the applicable legislation.

How is the payback calculated?

We divide the average renovation cost by the additional annual revenue plus the value uplift amortised over ten years, and convert the result into months.
