Properties in South West Dublin and what that means for BER ratings
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
Mid-century homes commonly rate D or E, with cavity fill, attic insulation and heating upgrades the usual routes to a better rating. Newer homes and apartments often rate B or better, and new builds need provisional and final BERs as part of compliance.
What to check before you book a BER assessor
- Check the assessor is registered with SEAI
- Have heating, insulation and window details ready to improve accuracy
- Ask how long until the certificate is published
- Ask for the advisory report with recommended upgrades
- Keep your BER with your sale, letting and grant documents
