BER RATING
A Building Energy Rating is similar to the energy label on your fridge with a scale of A-G. A-rated homes are the most energy efficient and G the least efficient. From 1st January 2009 a Building Energy Rating cert became compulsory for all homes being sold or offered for rent. If you are buying or about to rent a house or apartment now, you are entitled to a Building Energy Rating – so ask the seller/landlord or their agent for it along with the Building Energy Rating certificate, you will also receive an Advisory Report which will help you to identify how you might improve the energy performance of your home.
