04. February 2026 EU Energy Directive Has Minimal Impact on Indemo Investments
The new EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2024/1275 won’t affect most Indemo investments. Since Indemo deals in mortgage-backed debt—not property ownership—energy labels (EPCs) are rarely relevant. The final directive dropped earlier proposed bans on selling low-rated homes. Implementation will vary by country; Spain is expected to act gradually. For Indemo, energy upgrades may enhance exit value, not create regulatory risk.
04. February 2026 Indemo Case R159 Fast-Tracked to Property Sale Phase
An out-of-court settlement has accelerated recovery on Indemo debt case R159. The case jumped from Step 7 to Step 24 (Sale of Estate), skipping further court delays. The 122 m² asset (valued at €172K) is now listed for €105K, with a Price-to-Debt ratio of 44.2%. Proactive servicing cut recovery time, potentially improving investor returns. Sale proceeds will be distributed upon completion.
