Summer Renovation Ban: List of Unfilable Projects This Season under MaPrimeRénov Program

Let the Cat and Mouse Game Begin: MaPrimeRénov' Cracks Down on Fraudsters

Get ready, folks! The MaPrimeRénov' scheme, France's main public aid program for energy renovation of private homes, is about to tighten its screws in the fight against fraud. This summer, some dossier deposits will be shut down for specific types of work, as a fierce move to detect shady characters trying to game the system.

In a recent statement, the Ministry of Housing admitted that processing delays have increased in several regions due to the success of MaPrimeRénov' (which has a whopping 3.6 billion euros budget this year) and the late adoption of the 2025 finance law. As a result, the average delay in responding to applicants has increased by one month. They also acknowledged a "high level of fraud," according to Housing Minister Valerie Létard's cabinet.

Taking a Stand Against Fraud

Just as a hawk seeks out its prey, the Cabinet of Valerie Létard plans to use the tools of the Cazenave bill to "better manage the influx of dossiers and detect fraudsters upstream." This bill, which aims to fight fraud in all public aid, is recently adopted by Parliament and is now under examination by the Constitutional Council, expected to be promulgated by the end of June.

The implementation of the Cazenave bill's tools "will involve the temporary closure this summer of dossier deposits for individual global renovation and for individual insulation or heating system replacement work," the ministry announced. Fear not, co-ownership renovation dossiers will be left untouched. The Ministry of Housing will specify the exact date soon, but it is confirmed that the closure will happen before July 1.

By the end of September 2025, individual global renovation and work dossiers will be back in action. The ministry assures that non-fraudulent dossiers submitted before the closure will be processed and paid as swiftly as possible.

Anxious Days for the Construction and Energy Renovation Sectors

With this move, the government is aiming to tackle the excessive fraud and surge in applications that have been overwhelming the system. However, this announcement has left the energy renovation and construction sectors in a panic, with layoffs and job losses looking bleak for over 100,000 workers[1][2].

As the dust settles on this temporary closure, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold for the construction and energy renovation sectors. One thing's for sure: the cat and mouse game between the government and the fraudsters is about to intensify. Stay tuned, folks!

Bracing for Economic Impact

The temporary closure of certain MaPrimeRénov' dossiers this summer might have wider repercussions, affecting not only the construction and energy renovation sectors but also personal finance and wealth management, particularly for those who have been investing in real-estate renovation.
