Clear answers on BER assessments, costs, timelines and SEAI grants for homes and businesses across Meath and surrounding counties.
Yes, if you are selling or letting a property in Ireland you must have a valid BER certificate. It must be produced to potential buyers or tenants. The certificate is valid for ten years unless major changes are made to the building.
A typical domestic BER assessment takes one to two hours on site. You will receive your certificate and advisory report within a few working days. A non-domestic assessment may take longer depending on the size of the building.
The cost depends on the size and type of property. Domestic assessments start at a competitive rate and commercial quotes are based on floor area. Call OB Energy for a straightforward quote with no hidden fees.
