BER cert check

grimeire

Hey,

If you check an MPRN number from here https://ndber.seai.ie/pass/ber/search.aspx and get no results does that mean no BER was ever done.

When applying for a SEAI grant it showed it had an E but not sure does it just show that by default if no BER cert on the system for the MPRN.

Thanks in advance

Tried that with my MPRN:

Enter the BER number or the MPRN to review the BER Certificate for the property and then press Search.

No results found. i.e. I don't have a BER cert, true.

If the BER has expired it no longer shows up on that search.

Would imply a ber was done >10 years ago

thanks.

if there ever was a BER done here then it was definitly done over 10 years ago so would explain why its not showing in search but SEAI have one on record.

Did not know till now that they only had a 10 year lifetime.

Me neither. Nice to clarify that you have to buy another every 10 years.

You don't have to

A BER is only required when a property is offered for sale or rent

Or for grants

Out of context to the post I quoted.

You don't have to "buy" a BER every ten years

Or for a green mortgage rate. Mine was also out of date but when I rang the seai they were happy to give me the name of the company that had carried out the assessment.
