Balsall Common EPC prices in full
The tiers below are the same across Solihull; Balsall Common is not priced differently from anywhere else. Every price includes the assessment, the calculation and lodging to the national register:
| Property size | Typical EPC price | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | £60 | Next-day available |
| 2–3 bedrooms | £80 | Next-day available |
| 4–5 bedrooms | £100 | Next-day available |
| 6+ bedrooms | On request | Next-day available |
Commercial premises are quoted individually because they are modelled differently — see Commercial EPC for how that works.
What actually changes the price
- Number of bedrooms — the single biggest driver, because it proxies for floor area
- Access — a property where the loft, garage and outbuildings are all open takes less time on site
- Extensions and conversions — each one is a separate construction the assessor must record
- Property type — a flat is quicker to assess than a detached house with extensions
- Commercial floor area — commercial EPCs are quoted on floor area and complexity, not bedrooms
Why there is nothing to pay up front
We quote a fixed price when you book and you pay the assessor on the day. There is no deposit, and no situation in which the price moves after the visit.
What a Balsall Common property typically scores
Balsall Common is largely 1960s to 1980s village housing plus period cottages toward Temple Balsall. On modern estate and new-build housing, the rating is usually held back by very little, structurally — the fabric was built to a decent standard, so the missing points sit in the heating controls, the hot-water system and the lighting.
The cheap measures are the whole story on this stock. Controls, lighting and cylinder insulation are often enough on their own.
| Band | SAP score | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| A | 92–100 | Excellent — very low running costs |
| B | 81–91 | Very good — efficient modern home |
| C | 69–80 | Good — the target for rented homes by 2030 |
| D | 55–68 | Average — where most of Balsall Common sits |
| E | 39–54 | Below par — today’s legal minimum to let |
| F–G | 1–38 | Poor — cannot be let without works or an exemption |
Pricing against the local stock
In practice, Balsall Common is 1960s to 1980s village housing plus period cottages toward Temple Balsall. Walk from Berkswell station and the Balsall Common village centre out towards Meer End and the construction shifts under your feet; the CV7 postcode covers several quite different building ages.
Local knowledge is worth something here. An assessor who has done a dozen Balsall Common properties knows which assumptions are safe and which need evidence before they are recorded.
Is a cheaper EPC worth it?
The certificate is a commodity; the survey behind it is not. That is where a cheap quote actually costs you. An assessor who cannot access the loft, or who does not ask for your cavity-fill evidence, records the pessimistic default — and that default can easily cost you a band. On a rental heading toward the 2030 deadline, a wrongly recorded band is far more expensive than the £20 you saved.
