The proposal of the European Commission to establish the obligation of energy renewal before the sale for buildings and homes, would have a cost for Italian citizens equal to about 120 billion euros in 10 years, and would involve at least 16 million properties. This was stated by Codacons, which returned to attack the measure under consideration by the European Union.
According to the data provided by Enea, in Italy 1 property out of 3 falls into energy class “G” and consequently, if the EU proposal passes, it could neither be sold nor rented unless subjected to energy efficiency works – he explains Il Codacons – This means that at least 16 million homes, excluding the appurtenances, should undergo renovations between now and 2030, with a total cost for redevelopment of approximately 120 billion euros over 10 years.
An unsustainable expense for millions of Italian families, which on the one hand would cause property prices to skyrocket, on the other hand would open legal disputes: think of the case of those who inherit a property, or condominiums where more people live who will have to find an agreement on the work to be carried out.
“We ask the Italian government to take action to block a measure that represents madness from every point of view – says the president Carlo Rienzi – Otherwise, the appeals of Codacons on behalf of the property owners against a provision that arises in sharp contrast with the Italian Constitution, and which is destined to lapse before the courts ”.
