If you’re planning to sell or rent your property, getting a Building Energy Rating (BER) isn’t just a legal requirement; it’s a smart move that can help attract buyers or tenants faster.
What is a BER?
A BER is a certificate that rates your property’s energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It also includes an advisory report with suggestions to improve your rating.
Why It Matters for Sellers
- Boosts Market Appeal: Properties with higher BER ratings are more attractive to buyers who want lower energy bills and a greener home.
- Adds Value: Energy-efficient homes often sell for more, especially in competitive markets.
- Legal Requirement: You must have a BER before advertising your property for sale.
Why It Matters for Landlord
- Tenant Attraction: Renters are increasingly looking for energy-efficient homes to save on utility costs.
- Compliance: A valid BER is required before you can legally advertise your rental.
- Future-Proofing: With energy regulations tightening, a good BER helps you stay ahead.
Tip: Improve Your BER
Simple upgrades like better insulation, LED lighting, or a more efficient boiler can make a big difference.
