The case
The Consumer Movement Tuscany took a company to court for work carried out inappropriately on a single-family home in the Valdarno area of Arezzo.
The house, with a market value of around 350 thousand euros, underwent works for a declared amount of 700 thousand euros, a sum that would have allowed the construction of a new energy class A apartment. However, the house only obtained an energy classification of class D, making it clear thatinadequacy of interventions.
The problem of missing certifications
A recurring problem reported by citizens concerns the lack of complete documentation relating to the interventions carried out. In fact, companies often they do not issue certifications of the products used and the works carried out, delivering only the energy efficiency certificate.
This situation is compared by the president of the Consumer Movement of ArezzoArmando Mansueto, when purchasing a car without a registration document.
Furthermore, many citizens find themselves without the sheets of the materials used And without the guarantees of the installed products. Some they don’t even have the certification initial or that of the works manager, essential documents to certify the correct execution of the works.
Citizens’ Responsibility
L Consumer Movement Tuscanychaired by Blessed Tuciunderlines another worrying aspect: the lack of awareness among citizens regarding their responsibility in ensuring the correct execution of the works incentivized by the Superbonus 110%.
Many have mistakenly believed that it was the State that guaranteed the quality of the interventions, but in reality It is up to the property owners to ensure that everything is done according to the rules of the art.
Checks on the interventions carried out
The Consumer Movement Tuscany calls for urgent intervention by the Municipalities to carry out rigorous checks on the interventions carried out. The main concern is that these are real scams to the detriment of citizens, with potentially serious consequences, including pollution problems resulting from the use of non-natural materials.
Lawyer Alberto Polverini, who represents a family from Valdarno involved in one of the first cases, will also present a reported to the financial police for damage to the treasury. The claims include compensation for reduced enjoyment of the property, for delays in carrying out the works and for expenses incurred.
The risk of speculation
The Superbonus 110%, created with the intention of improving the energy efficiency of buildings, risks turning into a nightmare for many owners.
According to Consumer Movement Tuscanymany citizens they may find that their homes have been the subject of speculation by businesses, with negative consequences on property values. The request is that local governments intervene promptly to protect citizens and prevent further damage.
