Common reasons

Do I need a BER certificate?

If you're selling or letting a property in Ireland, a valid BER is a legal requirement and must appear in every advertisement. Here's where most of our Tipperary and Cork clients fit in.

Selling your home

A valid BER must be in place before you advertise on Daft, MyHome or with an auctioneer. We'll have yours ready before the listing goes live.

Letting a property

Landlords must hold a valid BER and show the rating in all rental ads. Each self-contained unit needs its own certificate.

SEAI grant works

Claiming a grant for solar, insulation, new windows or wall upgrades? You'll need an up-to-date BER once the works are complete.

Mortgage / green mortgage

Many lenders offer reduced rates for energy-efficient homes. A current BER lets your bank confirm the rating and unlock the better rate.

New build home

Every new home needs a final BER before it's first sold, let or occupied. We also issue provisional BERs at design stage.

Something else?

Updated for 2026

The new simplified A0–G rating scale

From 24 May 2026, Ireland moved to a simpler 8-level BER scale to line up with the rest of the EU. The old sub-categories (B1, B2, C1…) are gone, and a new top tier — A0 — recognises zero-emission homes that don't burn fossil fuels.

Already have a certificate? Every existing BER stays valid for 10 years from its date of issue, so you don't need a new one just because the scale changed — only if it has expired or you've made energy upgrades. If you're unsure, we'll check the SEAI register for you.

Good to know

BER questions, answered

How much does a BER cert cost?

The price depends on the size, type and location of your property. We quote one clear, fixed fee that covers the survey, the DEAP assessment, SEAI registration and your advisory report. Call us or request a quote and we'll give you an exact figure straight away — and let you know if an SEAI grant could cover part of the cost.

How long does a BER assessment take?

The on-site survey usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the property. After that, your assessor completes the calculations and registers the result with SEAI. You'll typically have your certificate and advisory report by email within 48 hours.

How long is a BER certificate valid for?

A BER certificate is valid for 10 years from its date of issue — unless you make changes that affect the property's energy performance, such as a new heating system, insulation, an extension or solar panels. If your cert has expired or you've upgraded, you'll need a new assessment.

What areas do you cover?

We cover every town and townland across County Tipperary and County Cork — from Clonmel, Cashel and Nenagh to Cork City, Mallow, Fermoy and the coast. If your property is in either county, we'll come to you.

Do I already have a valid BER?

Possibly — many properties already have one on the SEAI National BER Register. You can check using the property's MPRN (from the top of an electricity bill) or an existing BER number. Not sure how? Give us a call and we'll check it for you before you spend a cent.

What do I need to have ready for the survey?

Ideally, your electricity bill (for the MPRN) and any paperwork for insulation, windows, or heating upgrades, plus access to all rooms including the attic and hot press. Don't worry if you're missing documents — your assessor can often verify upgrades on the day.

Has the BER scale changed in 2026?

Yes. From 24 May 2026 the scale was simplified to A0, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, with the old sub-categories removed and a new A0 tier for zero-emission homes. Any certificate issued before then remains valid for its full 10 years.
