Practical FAQ built from the record’s verified facts
What official fact about energy performance certificate (EKB) should a buyer verify on the closing / transfer day?
An EKB is a regulatory energy-performance document, not a guarantee of the utility bill for one unit. Verify certificate number, address, block, building type and class against the property being reviewed. For new buildings licensed from 1 January 2011, EKB is required at occupancy-permit stage. A 2026 ministry update also states that from 1 January 2027 new buildings of 10,000 m² or more will submit EKB together with a Building Life-Cycle Analysis document. On transfer day, recheck sensitive identifiers from the latest available source; do not assume last week’s verification is still sufficient.
