Commercial BER certificates across Waterford city and the south east: city-centre retail and offices, the IDA park’s pharma and tech buildings, and the port-side industrial stock.
Waterford’s commercial market runs from the retail spine of the city centre and Michael Street to the IDA Industrial Park at Cork Road and the logistics and manufacturing stock serving the port. We provide commercial BER assessments across all of it, with the same 48-hour registration target we hold everywhere else.
The south east’s commercial activity does not stop at the city boundary, and neither do we: Tramore’s hospitality, Dungarvan’s growing food and business cluster, and the N25 corridor are all covered in standard pricing.
Waterford’s mix is distinctive: long-established manufacturing and pharma at the IDA park, a compact retail core where unit sizes and Victorian fabric vary wildly from door to door, and the North Quays regeneration setting a new benchmark for what modern space in the city looks like. Each of those building types is assessed differently, and rated fairly only when the survey reflects how the building is actually built and serviced.
For owners of older city-centre stock, the practical question this year is usually whether to re-certify on the new scale before a sale or letting. The honest answer depends on what has changed in the building since the last cert, and we will tell you straight if a new assessment will not move the rating.
Waterford city centre and the quays, Cork Road and the IDA Industrial Park, Butlerstown and Six Cross Roads, Tramore, Dungarvan, and the wider south east including Kilkenny and Wexford by arrangement under our standard pricing. Portfolio instructions across the region are handled as a single programme.
Every BER published from 24 May 2026 uses the new A0 to G scale, and certs issued before then remain valid for ten years. If you are weighing up whether to re-certify before a sale or letting in Waterford, our guide to the new BER scale and the free scale converter will tell you in minutes.
