Designated parts of the Fingal County Council area are in the Defective Concrete Blocks grant scheme (mica and pyrite in blocks). Only those parts are covered, not the whole county, so ask the council whether a particular address is inside the designated area.
Dublin is in the pyrite belt. Houses built roughly 1997 to 2013 with hardcore from the affected quarries may have heave in floors; the Pyrite Resolution Board ran the remediation scheme. The report flags the build years and the scheme for the exact house.

Questions people ask
- What is the typical BER in Dublin?
- Across 218,275 current certificates for Dublin Eircodes, the middle rating is B3. 50% are A or B, 11% E, F or G. Nationally: 50% A/B and 12% E/F/G.
- Does a bad BER lower the price?
- Yes, and increasingly so: green mortgage rates are tied to the BER (each lender sets its own band; AIB asks for A0, A or B on a certificate dated after 24 May 2026), and buyers now price the retrofit in. On the other side, a D or E house with a good advisory report is a negotiating tool: the seller cannot dispute what their own assessor wrote.
- How were these figures compiled?
- From certificates published on the SEAI National BER Register, grouped by the Eircode routing key (the first three characters), with each routing key assigned to the county where most of its sales fall. Withdrawn certificates are excluded.
