A clear energy profile makes your property more attractive on the market. A CEE (energy performance certificate) is required when selling and is often used by buyers to compare similar homes. Here’s a quick guide to what the CEE is, why it affects your deal, and which simple actions can strengthen your listing – without major renovations.

What is a CEE (energy performance certificate)?

• An official document describing the property’s energy performance.
• Issued by a qualified technician based on a site visit and/or documentation.
• Normally valid for up to 10 years and must be available when marketing and selling the property.

We help you order a current CEE so your listing can go live without delay.

Why does energy performance matter when selling?

• Visibility & trust: Complete documentation (including the CEE) makes the purchase process smoother.
• Online comparison: Buyers filter and compare running costs/standard between similar properties.
• Willingness to bid: Lower estimated running costs and clear information can increase interest and shorten time on market.

Quick wins that improve the impression (without major projects)

• Draught-proofing & door/window seals: Reduces draughts and improves the feeling during viewings.
• Servicing climate systems: Clean filters and documented service inspire confidence.
• Lighting: LED bulbs and good lighting in photos/viewings signal modern, efficient operation.
• Hot water: Check settings/timers to avoid unnecessary consumption.
• Sun protection & ventilation: Show how the home stays cool in summer and dry in winter.
• Documentation: Gather recent electricity/water bills and the CEE – transparency sells.

Is it worth improving before you sell?

Think simple, quick and measurable. Small actions that improve comfort and presentation are usually the most profitable before a sale. Larger interventions (window replacements, system changes) often have longer payback times and are rarely necessary right before listing – talk to us and we’ll make an individual assessment.
