“The principle of the bond is noble, there is a socio-economic need that must be solved and the real estate world is called upon to do so, but as always happens in Europe they impose really heavy times for the Italian system“. This is what the president of Ance told time.news, Gabriele Buia, in commenting on the hypothesis of the European standard which provides for the constraint for the sale of properties to improve their energy efficiency.
It is, he explained, “very short times, also taking into account the effort that Italy has been making for some time and that it will have to make in the coming years. For this reason there is the need to extend the bonuses” because otherwise “it is impossible to comply. for families, if they are not given the opportunity. If on the one hand the government makes commitments – said Buia – on the other hand, it must commit itself to helping families, who, unlike in Northern Europe, own more than 80% of their homes“. For this, he continued,” we must find the right match between the social need for efficiency and the ability of the Italian system to meet these commitments, because 2027 is tomorrow. The commitment to reduce emissions is right, the commitment to efficiency is right and it is also important to ensure seismic safety. But the times required by the law are incompatible with the Italian system and therefore it is necessary at least to reprogram or make sure that there are strong incentives and maintain the incentives scheduled today for many more years or otherwise the timing must be extended while maintaining a bonus level. aimed at improving efficiency “.
The house, Buia recalled, “is a strategic safe haven for us. With these efficiency works there is a revaluation underway, so we must always adhere to these bonuses. But the Italian government must better combine the need to make the commitments it has made more efficient with the need for families to be able to implement the first structural steps by 2027, because then there are meanders, talking about an entire property is one thing, talking about apartments is another and they are much more difficult “, he concluded.
The land registry reform – “Who invests in new, highly energy efficient houses it cannot have a higher taxation than those who have energy-intensive houses. It is a contradiction. We ask to make efforts but then the cadastre cannot penalize “, Buia later said about the future reform of the cadastre.
“We should see an improvement in the conditions of the payment of the IMU – he added – because what is asked is an effort that must be rewarded. We have always said that as regards the annuities we can only see a new, modern and efficient property, and with a reduction of the seismic risk, it is taxed more than an old building. It should be the other way around“, Buia reiterated.
Outlook for 2022 – More generally, looking at the economic situation for next year, for the president of the Ance “there are the conditions, also in the light of the great works of the PNRR, of great opportunities in view of the recovery and growth driven by the construction sector, which is among the most strategic“but” between the scarcity of raw materials and inflation we are playing for the future “and” there is a risk of undermining the recovery and resilience plan “.
As for the sector in particular, he added, “there is no doubt that the incentives and large investments of the public machine are giving concrete, tangible results”. Construction “it is the engine of economic growth“but” we have been saying for some time that there has been no response from past governments “and in the past” public investments have been lacking, including private investments through incentives and bonuses “.
