You want to do energy renovation work in your principal residence built since more than 2 years ? You can benefit from a loan advance transfer at zero interest rate (also called loan advance renovation PAR +) . This is a loan mortgage granted by a credit institution, financing business or third-party financing business that has signed an agreement with the government. This loan is secured by a mortgage on the value of your home and its repayment is due only at the time of the sale of the home or at the time of the settlement of your estate. During the First 10 years of the loan, the State shall bear all the interest. Beyond this period, interest at the rate freely fixed by the lending institution at the time of signing the contract shall apply. We tell you what you need to know.

Three main categories The following works may be financed under this loan:

  • Renovation work punctual improving the energy performance of the home (e.g. roof insulation, replacement of windows or heating system)
  • Renovation work global enabling the housing to reach a minimum energy performance
  • Rehabilitation work on a facility of non-collective sanitation by a device that does not consume energy.

Punctual renovation

Step-by-step approach

To benefit from the loan, your work must concern at least 1 of the following categories of work :

  • Thermal insulation of roofs
  • Thermal insulation of walls overlooking the outside
  • Thermal insulation of glass walls and doors to the outside
  • Insulation of low floors
  • Installation, regulation or replacement of heating systems possibly associated with efficient and economical ventilation systems, or efficient domestic hot water production systems
  • Installation of heating equipment using a renewable energy source
  • Installation of domestic hot water production equipment using a renewable energy source.

The loan can be used to finance energy renovation work carried out on the private parts of condominiums, but it does not finance the energy renovation work carried out on the common areas.

For more information, the Ministry of Ecology provides a presentation of the technical characteristics of this work.

To define the most useful and cost-effective works, it is recommended to call on a consultant specialized in home renovation:

Your file will then be reviewed by the credit institution, financing business or third-party financing business that finances the loan.

The institution or business will decide, as with any loan application, to lend you the amount requested based on your previous debt and the value of the home on which the mortgage is to be taken.

It is the institution or business that estimates the value of your home.

Please note

Only one loan per dwelling may be granted.

It is possible to accumulate the loan with the zero-interest eco-loan (eco-PTZ) provided that different work stations.

Please note

In the case of a joint application for a non-interest-bearing advance transfer loan and an eco-PTZ, it is recommended to provide supporting documents separately to facilitate the preparation of the file.

For the first 10 years, the loan advances transfer do not bear interest, the State bearing the interest over this period.

Thus, in the event of mutation (sale or succession) of the dwelling during these 10 years, there is no interest to repay.

As long as the loan does not bear interest, your home can not be converted into a commercial or professional premises, set up rental or used as second home.

Failure to comply with these obligations entails the reimbursement to the State of the interest which it has assumed. Therefore, if any of these situations occur, you must report it, without delay, the credit institution, funding business or third-party funding business financing the loan.

FYI  

In case of destruction of the dwelling before completion of the work, the continuation of the loan is conditional on its reconstruction within 4 years from the date of the loss.

The change of the nature of works, of their amount or thecompany mandated, requires you to provide new forms Borrower and Company corresponding to the changes.

The work must be completed in full within 3 years from the time the loan is granted.

However, one (or more) request for lengthening the time frame for completion of the work can be made no later than 3 months before the expiry of the period in one of the following 4 cases:

  • Force majeure. Force majeure shall be considered if it has an impact on the performance of the works provided for under a construction contract or under a sale in the future state of completion (Vefa) or a sale of a building to renovate or if you are assisted by an architect for the realization of the work
  • Illness or accident resulting in a temporary incapacity for work (TBI) of at least 3 months and affecting the performance of the work or death
  • Litigation procedure related to the execution of the works and having an impact on the execution of the works
  • Recognition of the state of natural disaster or technological disaster affecting the performance of the work.

The request for extension must be substantiated. It is necessary to present a justification that varies according to the situation.

If you do not receive a reply within 2 months of sending your reasoned request together with the supporting document, your request is considered rejected. The financial benefits of the loan are then forfeited for work not completed by the originally required completion date.

FYI  

To facilitate the project, work can begin maximum 3 months before the date of issue of the loan offer.

You must provide the credit institution, financing business or third-party financing business with all the evidence that the work was carried out in the 3 years from the date of issue of the loan offer.

That time limit doesn't have to be respected if you have requested an extension of the time (or several) to carry out the work due to the occurrence of a situation limited by the regulations (force majeure ...).

The lending institution may decide to disburse the loan in one or several times on the basis of the detailed description and specifications of the work to be carried out.

They may also decide to pay the loan on the basis of the invoices for the work carried out (i.e. at the end of the work) that you have submitted at any time before the loan closing date.

If the institution withholds the payment of the loan after the work has been carried out, you'll have to move forward the costs to make them happen.

Payment on invoices may lead the establishment to grant you an amount higher than the amount initially provided for in the description and quotes, within the limits of the authorized ceilings.

The repayment of the non-interest bearing transfer advance loan is due at the time of sale of your home subject to the loan or at the time of payment of your succession.

Reminder

You must repay the loan in full :

  • if you have not had the reconstruction of your home benefiting from the loan completed within 4 years of the loss
  • if, during the term of the loan, you have converted your dwelling into commercial or professional premises, or have rented it for seasonal use or are using it as second home.

Global renovation

Step-by-step approach

To benefit from the loan, the work carried out in your home must improve its overall energy performance.

You must first have an energy audit carried out by a recognized environmental professional (RGE).

Please note

The chosen professional may not subcontract the performance of the energy audit.

The work undertaken as a result of this energy audit must enable your home to achieve the following objectives:

  • Annual conventional consumption of less than 331 kWh/m² of primary energy after work on heating, cooling and hot water production
  • An energy saving of at least 35% compared to the annual conventional primary energy consumption before works for heating, cooling and hot water production.
