This is the alarm launched by Consumerismo No Profit which monitored the trend of the sector price lists and the reports from all over Italy.

However, the phenomenon of upturned price lists is shared by various professionals who work within the Ecobonus and who have recently denounced the phenomenon.
“The introduction of the 110% Ecobonus has given way to speculation on price lists, as always happens in these cases, with evident damage to the community and unfair enrichment for a few – declares the lawyer Fabrizio Plagenza, head of the Home Department of Non-Profit Consumerism – A constant control on all the prices of interventions and materials linked to the incentive appears to be a duty, just as it is necessary to verify the reports received on the increases in the price of the transaction in the purchase of credits by the banks ”.
