What moves the price
- Size of the property — a larger home or commercial building takes longer to survey for the BER assessment.
- Additional services — an energy audit added to the assessment is the difference between a quick visit and a long one.
- Detailed energy improvement reports — an advisory report with upgrade options takes the assessor longer than the BER certificate alone.
- Type of building — a commercial EPC assessment is more involved than a residential BER on a house.

How to pay less
- Having floor plans and any insulation or heating receipts ready helps the assessor work faster on the BER assessment.
- If the property already has a valid BER certificate and nothing has changed, you may not need a new assessment.
- A BER certificate on its own costs less than adding a full energy audit, so you can choose only what you need.
- Booking BER assessments for several properties with the same assessor can bring the price per assessment down.
Before you book
- Details of any previous energy assessments or reports.
- You can ask the assessor to confirm they are registered to issue BER certificates before the visit is booked.
- Say whether the BER is for a sale, a letting or a grant, so the assessor knows what the certificate is for.
- It helps to arrange access to every room, the attic and the boiler, so the assessor can see the insulation and heating.
- Have details ready of any upgrades, such as new windows, insulation or a heat pump, with receipts if you have them.
