An indicative engineer’s fee for an energy performance certificate by property type and floor area.
The fee is not regulated. Engineers set their own prices, so this is a market range, not a tariff.
The ranges are the lowest and highest fees published by two engineering and property websites in 2026, for apartments and detached houses by floor area, before 24% . Above 250 m² the price is by quotation.
The electronic fee paid on the platform is separate and depends on the floor area. It is not included. Ask whether the engineer’s offer covers it.
A certificate is valid for 10 years unless the building is substantially altered.
Advertised “from” prices often cover small units and exclude or the platform fee. Ask for the total in writing.

Validity: 10 years (unless the building is substantially altered).
Prices are the lowest and highest published by two engineering and property websites in 2026. Very low advertised prices (“from €25–30”) often apply to small units and exclude VAT or the fee. Ask for a written quote.
