What does an energy label cost for a home?
| Price range on this platform | €150 to €453.75, VAT included |
| Included | On-site assessment, calculation under NTA 8800, registration in EP-Online |
| What pushes the price up | Floor area, detached construction, several storeys, listed status, urgency |
| Validity | 10 years; that works out at a tenth of the amount above per year |
| Paying | Only after delivery, directly to the advisor |
There is no fixed price: the advisor sets their own rate, per building type and per floor area bracket. A 70 m² apartment sits at the bottom of that range, a 250 m² detached house at the top.
We add no margin: the price you see in the comparison is the advisor's own price for your address and floor area.
How do you compare the total price?
A starting price or an average is not a fixed quote for every address. Compare the same property type, floor area and scope. Check VAT, the visit, calculation, registration, travel and any conditions for additional work.
Contact, booking, the property visit and registration are separate events. Ask when a quoted term starts and what happens if documents are still missing.

Why does the price differ per advisor?
Because the assessment is work done on site. An advisor factors in travel time, how long the assessment takes and their own workload. A larger building costs more: more rooms, more storeys, more installations to record. For a listed building or an unusual layout it rises further, because more evidence has to be gathered.
The delivery time differs per advisor as well: every advisor sets their own, and if an advisor sets none, it shows 5 working days. If the label has to be there soon because the transfer is scheduled, sort the comparison on delivery time. With time to spare there is almost always a cheaper option. More about that on cheap energy label.
Can an energy label be free?
A new one cannot. Since 1 January 2021 a certified EP advisor has to assess the property on site, and that work costs money. The old provisional label you could fill in yourself no longer exists.
Offers for a "free energy label" usually come from a bank or energy supplier covering it for existing customers, tied to a product. The label itself is not free; someone else is paying for it.
What does it cost for commercial premises?
More than for a home, and it is calculated separately. Commercial buildings are assessed by an EP-U advisor under a different method, and the price depends heavily on size and the number of use functions. Offices have also had to hold at least label C since 2023. More about that on energy label commercial property.
Frequently asked questions about the cost
Do I pay in advance or afterwards?
Afterwards: you pay the advisor only once the label has been delivered, directly to them and not to us. The price is fixed beforehand, so you know the amount before the appointment is made.
Is VAT included?
Yes, prices on this platform include VAT. What you see is what you pay; nothing is added.
What does it cost if my label only needs extending?
Extending is not a thing. A label is valid for ten years and after that a new assessment is needed, at the normal rate. Check first whether yours is still valid; an expired label does not count when selling or letting.
Is it cheaper to have several properties assessed at once?
Often yes, because travel time is then spread over more assessments. For an apartment block or several premises at one address it is worth mentioning that with your request, so the advisor can take it into account.
