02 · Context

Plan first, commission later

Funding schemes often require an application or confirmation before work begins. Clarify financing and funding before placing binding orders.

03 · Context

Individual measures or an efficiency house

A staged renovation offers flexibility. A comprehensive renovation may achieve a more consistent energy standard but requires more planning and capital. The technical approach determines financing needs.

04 · Context

Funding conditions change

Programmes, budgets and terms may change. The conditions in force on the application date apply. PremiumHYP therefore includes funding only after checking current requirements.

05 · Be prepared

Points you should not underestimate

  • Placing orders too early
  • Assuming funding is guaranteed
  • Forgetting ancillary costs and construction supervision
  • Overestimating savings
  • A renovation roadmap without a financing check

06 · Documents

Commonly required documents

The documents actually needed depend on the lender, your plans and personal circumstances. The following are often useful for preparation:

→Energy performance certificate
→Report or renovation roadmap
→Contractor quotations
→Energy-efficiency expert’s confirmation
→Property and loan documents

07 · Practical example

What an assessment might look like

After purchase, heating, windows and the roof are to be improved. First clarify the technical sequence and eligibility, then combine savings, subsidised loans and bank finance into one plan.
