    Hi, I'm a domestic assessor, I've been asked to do a guest house. Anyone know if this is non-domestic?

    I'd imagine it is.
    From both a planning and a building regulations point a view, guesthouses are considered commercial.

    suggest you contact SEI.

    it can be seen as a stand alone dwelling, and can be sold on as an independent stand alone house..... so....

    My view is since the house can be used as a private dwelling on change of ownership, it is a domestic dwelling for ber purposes.

    Couple of questions to be asked?
    Did it get planning permission as a Guesthouse?
    Is it registered as a Guesthouse with Failte Irerland ?
    Is it being sold as a Guesthouse ?

    My opimion is that if it is trading as a Guesthouse and being sold as as Guesthouse, then it requires a Non-domestic BER.
    Best to ask SEI but do not hold your breath waiting for a reply !
