Do I need a Building Energy Rating (B.E.R.) Certificate if I am selling my house?

  • From the 1st of January 2009, a BER certificate became compulsory for all homes being sold or offered for rent. If you are buying or renting a house or apartment, you are entitled to a BER so ask the seller, landlord or agent for it.
  • A BER certificate is accompanied by an advisory report which will identify how you might improve the energy performance of your home.
  • A BER is also required, subject to transitional arrangements, where construction of a new home begins on or after 1st January 2007.
