BER Assessors in Ireland
1,156registered assessors. Every SEAI grant needs a BER after the work is done.
€250 to €280 is SEAI's published median, depending on house type, and what you pay if you are managing the job yourself. A BER certificate rates a home from A1 down to G. You need one to sell or rent a property, and after the work to be paid any SEAI grant.
Where that figure comes from →You do not need a BER to apply. You need one to be paid.
A registered assessor surveys the house after the work is finished and signs the form that releases your grant. Every grant, every applicant, no exceptions, and you have eight months from the grant offer to get it done.
Whether you pay for it depends on your route.
- Managing the job yourself:
- you book the assessor and pay, and SEAI gives you €50 back.
- One Stop Shop:
- included in the job. They arrange it and you never book one.
- Warmer Homes:
- free, before and after the work. SEAI arranges both.
The house may already have a BER, which is free to look up and can settle whether you qualify at all.Where this falls in the six steps.
