Training and studies to become a certified real estate diagnostician
The profession of certified real estate diagnostician appeared in the late 1990s. With the rome code F1103, this person is specialised in construction standards and is called upon to intervene in real estate transactions, during construction and renovation work or during the usual operation of a building. Their task is to carry out various diagnoses, including the energy performance diagnosis in the context of the sale or rental of a property: flat, house, etc. To become a certified real estate diagnostician, it is recommended that you have a diploma in the field of construction (BTS Construction, BTS Real Estate, DUT Construction and Public Works, DUT Civil Engineering, Professional License Construction ...) and then obtain the necessary certifications to practice the profession. To be able to carry out DPEs, the diagnostician will have to pass an energy performance diagnosis certification with or without mention from organisations that offer them.
The scope of intervention of a certified property diagnostician
Within the framework of an ECD, the certified real estate diagnostician works with sellers and lessors to carry out an energy performance diagnosis of their properties for sale or rent. The DPE carries out a technical analysis of the building and draws up documents attesting to the condition and characteristics of the property. For a sale, various mandatory diagnoses are carried out: DPE, asbestos, Carrez law, termites, lead (CREP), state of risks and pollution (ERP), gas, electricity, non-collective sanitation, etc.
Why use a certified property diagnostician?
The use of a certified real estate diagnostician is mandatory for anyone wishing to rent or sell their property. The energy performance diagnosis classifies the building in terms of energy consumption (A/B efficient building, FG energy sieve) and greenhouse gas emissions (A low CO2 emissions and G very high emissions). Depending on the classification, certain work must be carried out by sellers or lessors to comply with the standards.
How to find a certified real estate diagnostician?
To find a certified real estate diagnostician who can carry out an energy performance diagnosis, it may be worthwhile to turn to a directory like StarOfService. Just follow the instructions to get in touch with different specialists. You can find one or more of them in your city or region without any problem.
What are the fees of a certified real estate diagnostician?
The prices of diagnostics are not regulated and to date the rates differ from one professional to another for the same diagnosis. For an energy performance diagnosis, the price is between €100 and €250 for the sale and rental of a property, according to the ADEME (agency for the environment and energy management), also known as the agency for ecological transition. It should be noted that there is a free DPE, but this is only used as an indication. The document presented cannot constitute an official document as provided for by the law in the context of renting or selling a property.
How to choose a certified real estate diagnostician?
In order to choose the real estate diagnostician who will carry out the DPE, several elements must be taken into account. The most important is the certification, which can be checked by contacting the COFRAC (French accreditation committee), for example. In addition, it is recommended to carry out all the compulsory diagnoses at the same time to avoid a significant cost. Another point is the insurance of the diagnostician (civil liability insurance provided for by law), the certificate of which must be submitted with the diagnosis report. As the DPE is valid for 10 years, it is also necessary to check the reliability and financial soundness of the diagnostic company, even if it is an independent certified real estate diagnostician. Indeed, in the event of bankruptcy, the insurance only covers it for 6 months.
Questions to ask a diagnostician during the first contact?
- Does he have the necessary certification to carry out an energy performance diagnosis? - Is it possible to carry out all the mandatory diagnoses at the same time? - If not, what is the cost for an ECD only?
