The least we can say is that the recent censorship of the Barnier government has made the situation unprecedented in terms of the budget for 2025. Furthermore, like every year, several changes will see the light of day on January 1st which will modify the daily lives of the French. Among other changes, a document, which occupies a fundamental place, will be subject to a significant change. We explain everything to you in the lines of this article.
An invalid document that owners must redo
The owners are once again in the hot seat. Indeed, a large number of them will soon have to shed euros again. And this, in order to comply with new regulations which comes into force on January 1, 2025.

Each document aims to ensure clarity of transactions. But also to protect the rights of tenants or buyers. They also allow owners to meet administrative and tax obligations relating to their property.
Therefore, as of January 1, 2025, Energy Performance Diagnostics (DPE) that certain owners made between January 1, 2018 and July 31, 2021 will no longer be valid. The latter will therefore have to redo this document in the event of the property being put on sale or rented.
This diagnosis, which assesses the energy performance of a property, with a classification from A to G, is, in theory, valid for 10 years. But, since July 2021, the method of calculating the DPE has undergone significant changes.
In summary, all the changes in DPE 2025
This system therefore classifies owners' real estate from A (very efficient) to G (extremely energy-intensive).
– From the start of 2025, owners will no longer have the right to rent G-rated accommodation. This measure will extend to properties classified F from 2028. And to properties classified E from 2034.

– This restrictive reform THEREFORE requires owners to carry out energy renovation work. And, this therefore aims to protect tenants. It allows them, in fact, to live in decent conditions. Once it comes into force, the energy performance threshold applies to any new rental contract. Or from the tacit renewal of a lease.
– From January 1, 2025, the DPEs that the owners have carried out between January 1, 2018 and July 31, 2021 will no longer be valid. They will therefore have to redo them in the event of sale or rental.
Moreover, this grade from A to G could go down. In fact, the new calculation method is no longer based on energy bills but on the housing itself.
You will therefore have understood, on January 1, 2025, to sell or rent accommodation, the owners will therefore have to have an energy performance diagnosis carried out since July 1, 2021.
