LiderA Environmental Certification: How Can It Add Value to Your Property?

Benefits of LiderA Certification for Your Property

Increased Property Value

Certified properties tend to be more attractive to buyers and investors and may achieve higher market values.

Energy Efficiency and Lower Running Costs

Certification encourages the implementation of solutions that reduce energy and water consumption, resulting in significant savings on maintenance and operating costs.

Tax Benefits

Reduced IMI Rate for Energy-Efficient Buildings

Municipalities may, subject to a decision by the municipal assembly, grant a reduction of up to 25% on the IMI rate for urban properties demonstrating energy efficiency. A property is considered energy-efficient when:

  • It holds an energy performance certificate rated A or above; or
  • As a result of renovation works, its energy rating has improved by at least two classes compared with the previous certificate.

Green Funding and Financing

Banks and financial institutions may offer preferential financing conditions for certified projects, including lower interest rates and longer repayment terms.

A Contribution to Sustainability

By adopting sustainable practices, your property contributes to environmental preservation and aligns with global trends in environmental responsibility.
