BER Selling Home

somesoldiers

Hi All

we are selling our house and have had a look round for the BER cert but don't seem to have it, my wife throws nothing out so we may never have received one when buying it 5 years ago. is this something our solicitor would hold on to?
I have checked the National BER Register and our report is there, is it enough to point a buyer to this or to we need to have the hard copy? If a hard copy, should I just contact the crowd listed as doing the rating to post one out?

thanks

Noel

rang the number listed as having done the rating and they are sending me out a copy- thanks anyhow

L1011

It may make more sense to get a new one if you've made any changes at all (major ones require a new one). The number for the seai site is enough anyway

somesoldiers

no we haven't done anything that would effect the rating in a positive way anyhow, happy to go with the current C1 rating, thanks

I found out when selling that there is no such thing as an official cert, its the rating that's registered. They all can print you out a fancy colour template on card though.....my buyers solicitor demanded the "cert" so I printed out the pdf and that was that....

Nice one, I'll do that, thanks

Print out should be fine, if it has all the rating info.

thanks I got the real deal from the crowd that did the cert, just rang em up, pretty painless. Better to have it now than have some solicitor insisting on it further down the line
