Changes to MaPrimeRénov' from 15 May 2024: Easing of Single-Measure Work Grants

From 15 May 2024, MaPrimeRénov’, the energy renovation aid scheme for housing, undergoes significant changes that should interest all property owners and buyers. Sextant, your estate agency, presents these changes to help you better plan your energy renovation projects.

Easing of Single-Measure Work Grants

One major change is the easing of grants for single-measure work. These aids cover specific interventions such as heat pump installation, attic or wall insulation, and window replacement. These grants had been suspended but are now accessible again until the end of 2024 (Service-Public) (Habitatpresto).

Why this easing?

The government decided to ease the conditions for obtaining these grants to boost applications for energy renovation aid, which had fallen at the start of the year. Simplifying procedures and temporarily suspending certain requirements, such as the energy performance diagnosis (DPE), aims to facilitate access to grants for property owners.

Simplification of Administrative Procedures

From 15 May 2024, the procedures for obtaining MaPrimeRénov’ are simplified. Notably, the DPE, which was a prerequisite for receiving grants, is no longer required for single-measure work until 31 December 2024. This temporary measure reduces administrative barriers and speeds up the receipt of grants (Anah).

Eligibility for Single Measures until 31 December 2024

Until 31 December 2024, all properties, regardless of their energy rating, can benefit from MaPrimeRénov’ Renovation by measure. This includes properties rated F and G, also known as thermal sieves. However, from 1 January 2025, these properties will need to undertake comprehensive renovation to continue being eligible for grants.

New Funding Ceilings

The eco-PTZ, a zero-interest loan coupled with MaPrimeRénov’, has its ceiling raised to £50,000. This increase aims to encourage more ambitious renovation projects by facilitating their funding (Service-Public).

Impact for Property Owners and Buyers

For current or prospective property owners, these changes offer a valuable opportunity to carry out energy renovation work with significant financial aid. By investing in energy improvements, you not only increase your property’s comfort but also enhance its value on the property market.

How to Benefit from MaPrimeRénov’?

To benefit from MaPrimeRénov’ grants, it is essential to meet certain conditions. Here is an overview of the steps to follow:

1. Assess Required Work: Identify the energy renovation work needed in your property by using France Renov’.
2. Engage an RGE Professional: The work must be carried out by a Recognised Guarantee of the Environment (RGE) professional.
3. Submit an Application: Submit your grant application online, providing the work quotes and required documents.
4. Carry Out the Work: Once the application is accepted, the work can begin.
5. Receive the Aid: At the end of the work, you will receive the grant.

Opportunities for Investors

For property investors, these grants represent an opportunity to improve the energy efficiency of their properties while receiving financial support. In particular, properties rated F and G can benefit from these grants until the end of 2024, after which they will need to undertake more comprehensive renovations.

Conclusion

The changes to MaPrimeRénov’ from 15 May 2024, particularly the easing of grants for single-measure work until 31 December 2024, greatly simplify access to grants for energy renovation. As property owners or buyers, it is crucial to take advantage of these grants to improve the energy performance of your properties.
