As the time for the rating of existing homes approaches on Jan 1st, could anyone tell me how much it is estimated a full BER will cost on an average sized home
 
Depends on location and the size of the dwelling. Is it a detached or semi detached?

Anywhere between €250 - €500 I would suggest.

For the averaged sized new house (which was the question) this figure is correct. The area in which (assuming you mean county) does not effect the price. BER cert for new houses are done off a set of plans and specification.

I think only new dwellings can be done from the plans/drawings, existing dwellings require a site survey. Lots of other questions also answered here.

The county does effect the price in the sense that there are more regestered BER surveyors in some counties then others. For example the last time I looked There were more registered in Cork then Dublin. Given that there are more dwellings that require BER certification in Dublin then Cork it would be safe to assume that a BER in Dublin would be more expensive.
However with this in mind it is an open and competive market and prices may vary quiet a bit.

Many BER assessors cover a full province, so Dublin should be well services as will most areas.

My previous post should have said New houses not existing:eek:

The reason I ask is that I have taken the new build course passed the examination and am in receipt of my fetac diploma. Last weekend I undertook the two day course for existing propertys but the one thing no one seemed to know with any degree of clarity was the related charges for assessing an existing dwelling, indeed the tutor asked us to write on a slip of paper what each individual considered a fair price, theese ranged from €250 to €550. I thought somewhere in between was adequate.
For those that have completed the two courses are you aware as of last week SEI have announced that any person having completed the new build course, has passed this and holds the fetac diploma and can show evidence of having undertaken the course for existing dwellings will be exempt from having to undertake the national completion exam as this has been deffered untill April of next year. However this only applies to those who have in their possession the Fetac diploma, regardless of if they have also undertaken the existing dwellings course,those still waiting for the diploma to be sent to them, can not register to assess existing.
What I would also like to know is if existing dwellings can now be assessed and relevant cert be issued by SEI before Jan 1st ?
