EPC Cost in Solihull Lodge: What to Expect

What an EPC really costs in Solihull Lodge, Solihull — fixed prices by property size, what changes them, and what cavity-built inter-war stock in this area typically scores.

How much does an EPC cost in Solihull Lodge?

An EPC in Solihull Lodge 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.

  • Commercial premises are quoted individually on floor area and complexity.
  • Price is set by property size, not by postcode.
  • Extensions and annexes add assessment time and can affect the quote.
  • There is no deposit and nothing to pay in advance.
  • The quoted figure includes lodging the certificate to the national register.

Solihull Lodge 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:

2–3 bedrooms£80Next-day available

6+ bedroomsOn requestNext-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
  • Access — a property where the loft, garage and outbuildings are all open takes less time on site
  • Number of bedrooms — the single biggest driver, because it proxies for floor area
  • 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 Solihull Lodge property typically scores

Solihull Lodge is largely inter-war semis and canal-side cottages near the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. On cavity-built inter-war stock, the rating is usually held back by an empty wall cavity, a loft that was insulated decades ago and has since been flattened by storage, and draughty timber floors.

Fill the cavity, top up the loft. On this construction that single combination does more, for less money, than anything else available.

BandSAP scoreWhat it means
A92–100Excellent — very low running costs
B81–91Very good — efficient modern home
C69–80Good — the target for rented homes by 2030
D55–68Average — where most of Solihull Lodge sits
E39–54Below par — today’s legal minimum to let
F–G1–38Poor — cannot be let without works or an exemption

Pricing against the local stock

Across the B90 postcodes, Solihull Lodge is characterised by inter-war semis and canal-side cottages near the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal. Haslucks Green and Peterbrook sit at either end of that range, and the difference between them is worth more points than most owners expect.

We assess in Solihull Lodge most weeks, and the pattern is consistent enough that we can usually say what a property will score before the visit — then spend the appointment proving or disproving it.

Is a cheaper EPC worth it?

Every EPC ends up on the same register in the same format. The variable is not the paperwork, it is how carefully the property was recorded. 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

From £60 for a one-bedroom property, £80 for two to three bedrooms and £100 for four to five. Larger properties are quoted on request, and the price is fixed when you book.

No. There is no deposit and nothing to pay up front — you settle with the accredited assessor on the day.

Usually, because commercial buildings are modelled with SBEM rather than the domestic RdSAP method and are priced on floor area. We quote each one individually.

Extensions add assessment time, so they can affect the quote. Tell us when you book and the price we give you is the price you pay.

The certificate is the same document, but a rushed assessment records pessimistic defaults where evidence is missing, which can cost a whole band. That is a false economy on any property you intend to let.
