Is a BER Certificate Required When Selling a House?
In most circumstances, Irish legislation requires a property owner to provide a valid BER Certificate when offering a property for sale.
The BER rating must typically be displayed in advertisements placed by estate agents, auctioneers, and online property portals.
A BER Certificate allows potential purchasers to understand the energy efficiency of a property and compare running costs between homes.
Failure to provide a BER Certificate when required may lead to enforcement action.
When Should You Arrange a BER Assessment?
Ideally, a BER assessment should be arranged before:
● Contacting an estate agent.
● Photographing the property.
● Advertising the property online.
● Listing the property for sale.
Many sellers arrange their BER assessment as soon as they decide to sell in order to avoid delays later in the sales process.
