How much does an EPC cost in Bentley Heath?
An EPC in Bentley Heath costs from £60 for a one-bedroom property, £80 for two to three bedrooms and £100 for four to five. NextDay EPC fixes the price when you book, adds no hidden fees, and takes no payment until the accredited assessor arrives at the property.
- Price is set by property size, not by postcode.
- There is no deposit and nothing to pay in advance.
- The quoted figure includes lodging the certificate to the national register.
- Commercial premises are quoted individually on floor area and complexity.
- Extensions and annexes add assessment time and can affect the quote.
Bentley Heath EPC prices in full
The tiers below are the same across Solihull; Bentley Heath 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
- Commercial floor area — commercial EPCs are quoted on floor area and complexity, not bedrooms
- Property type — a flat is quicker to assess than a detached house with extensions
Why there is nothing to pay up front
The figure agreed at booking is the figure you pay. Nothing is taken in advance, and if a property turns out larger than described we say so before starting, not after.
What a Bentley Heath property typically scores
Bentley Heath is largely post-war and 1960s family housing on wide, quiet roads. On 1950s and 1960s estate stock, the rating is usually held back by non-traditional wall build-ups, ageing electric heating in the flats and maisonettes, and roofs that cannot easily take full-depth insulation.
Look at the heating before the fabric. On this stock the difference between old storage heaters and a properly controlled modern system is worth more than any insulation measure.
| 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 Bentley Heath 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
Bentley Heath is post-war and 1960s family housing on wide, quiet roads, and the Knowle, Dorridge & the Arden Villages setting matters: around Bentley Heath Cricket Club and along Widney Road the properties are older than the estate housing further out, so no single figure describes the area.
Because our assessors work the B93 postcodes regularly, they arrive knowing what to look for on a Bentley Heath property rather than working it out from scratch.
Is a cheaper EPC worth it?
Certificates are lodged to the same national register whoever produces them, so the document itself is identical. What differs is the quality of the assessment. 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.
