ENERGY CERTIFICATE SPAIN

11th December 2025
ENERGY CERTIFICATE SPAIN

When must homes in Spain comply with the new European insulation and fire safety standards?

Is it wiser to buy a new home? What are the pros and cons of new build? And can you renovate an existing home to meet the standards? Is that more expensive than buying new?

 

From 1 January 2030 all homes for sale or rent must have at least energy label E; from 2033 at least D. Properties with labels F or G may no longer be sellable; the aim is to reach label B by 2040. Since August 2025 a valid EPC certificate is also mandatory for mortgage applications.

New builds already meet the stricter insulation and fire-safety requirements. They typically offer better quality, higher comfort, lower energy costs and less risk of hidden defects. Second-hand homes usually require more maintenance and often have poorer insulation.

You can renovate an existing property to meet the new standards, but costs depend heavily on the condition, location and required work. In many cases such a renovation may be more expensive than buying new. Renovation remains attractive when the location is unique or if you want to fully customize the home.
