@ chrisinspain 

 

Why are you selling a service to a nice elderly couple who have no need for it for at least 2 months?

Are you providing them with a Certificacion Energetica de Edificios Existente?

Please explain

 I agree 100% with chrisinspain.

Don't pay for an assessment up front. There are already websites offering an online payment system. 

Pay a deposit yes but only pay the balance on receipt of the certificate.

Always ask to see the Assessors acreditation and their CIF number.

 Hi Eggcup,

There is a bigger message here and lately due to the global economic crisis the issue of climate change and global warming has had to take a back seat and I think that's a shame. There are many ways in which one can reduce ones energy bill. I am also being told by clients and others that the energy efficiency of the property that they are considering to buy has an influence on their decision. The price of electricity in Spain has increased by over 20% in the last 12 months. So maybe in a backhanded way, in the future the introduction of the CEE will be a good thing in terms of encouraging more energy efficient buildings, reducing energy and ultimately carbon emissions.

Un saludo

Ecosave.

Hi Peter,

The certificate is merely a qualification of the energy efficiency of your property. You will not receive any discount or otherwise for your efforts unfortunately. We do feel though that during this time when energy prices are so high, that the better the energy performance of the property will enhance it's potential for sale thus encouraging homeowners to be more eco friendly.

Our core business is to provide our customers with advice, services and products to homeowners, property managers and businesses on the costa del sol.

If you would like to know more please visit our website which is all the w's then ecosave punto es.

Un saludo
