- Commercial premises are quoted individually on floor area and complexity.
- 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.
Berkswell EPC prices in full
Domestic pricing is driven by the size of the property, not by which part of Solihull it sits in. 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
- Commercial floor area — commercial EPCs are quoted on floor area and complexity, not bedrooms
- 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
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 Berkswell property typically scores
Berkswell is largely listed cottages, converted farm buildings and solid-wall period homes. On period, solid-walled housing, the rating is usually held back by solid masonry walls, tall single-glazed sashes, and heat loss through uninsulated roof slopes and party walls.
Start with the roof, the draughts and the controls. None of them touch the fabric a conservation officer cares about, and together they routinely move a property several points before anything structural is considered.
| 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 Berkswell 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
Locally that means listed cottages, converted farm buildings and solid-wall period homes. The CV7 postcodes run from Meriden Road across to Balsall Street, and the stock changes noticeably as you move between them — which is why a rating from one street is a poor guide to the next.
Local knowledge is worth something here. An assessor who has done a dozen Berkswell 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.
