Real estate. Côte-d’Or, Doubs… What is the price of a DPE at your location?

The energy performance diagnosis (DPE), not to be confused with the energy audit, is a reference document which makes it possible to evaluate the energy consumption of a home and its ecological impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, through an energy rating ranging from A (for an extremely efficient property) to G (extremely energy-intensive).

Carried out by a certified diagnostician, it is one of the mandatory diagnostics for owners who want to sell or rent a property.

From 1^is December 2023 to November 30, 2024, 4.1 million DPEs were carried out throughout France. How much does it cost for an apartment and a house?

Elements of response with a study* from Kiwidiag.com, a platform allowing owners to book an appointment online with a certified real estate assessor.

For a 3 room apartment

Au 1^is December 2024, the average price of a DPE at the national level for a 3-room apartment is €180.54, compared to €172.33 on 1^is December 2023, an increase of +4.82% in one year.

“This is explained by inflation on travel costs for diagnosticians, on DPE software, their insurance costs, training costs, mandatory information to be collected from co-ownership trustees such as fees, type of heating, etc., and at 1^is January 2025 the tax identification number of the property”, detailed Pascal Salewyn, co-founder of Kiwidaig.

Hauts-de-Seine and Seine-Saint-Denis have the highest maximum prices for having a DPE carried out: €620.

Trend towards lower prices depending on the number of diagnosticians

According to the study, a trend towards lower prices is observed in areas where the supply of diagnosticians is greater, such as the North (451 diagnosticians present in the department), Bouches-du-Rhône (451 diagnosticians) or the Rhône (372 diagnosticians), for example.

Conversely, areas with a lower supply of diagnosticians have higher prices such as Aveyron (47 diagnosticians), Charente and Landes (57 diagnosticians) or even Corrèze (39 diagnosticians).

Exceptions

Finistère has a large number of diagnosticians (159) on its territory, yet the average price is higher than the national average (€191 for an apartment and €239 for a house).

The same in Ain with 103 diagnosticians and a price of €206 for the DPE of an apartment and €241 for that of a house.
