What an EPC costs in Bentley Heath
The price depends on how big the property is, not where in Solihull it sits — Bentley Heath is charged on exactly the same scale as everywhere else. Every figure includes lodging the certificate 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 |
Booking, step by step
- Tell us the property. Address, type and number of bedrooms — that is all we need for a fixed price.
- Choose AM, PM or anytime. No rigid time slots to guess at. We confirm the exact time the day before.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Receive and file it. The certificate is lodged nationally and emailed across, normally within 24 hours.
What the assessor looks at in a Bentley Heath property
Bentley Heath is characterised by post-war and 1960s family housing on wide, quiet roads — the streets around Bentley Heath Cricket Club, and out through Widney Road, Milverton, Fen End and Knowle. On post-war and system-built housing, the assessor is mainly recording non-traditional wall build-ups, ageing electric heating in the flats and maisonettes, and roofs that cannot easily take full-depth insulation.
Electric heating is the deciding factor on much of this stock, and no amount of insulation fully compensates for it.
Expect the assessor to be on site for around three quarters of an hour, measuring and photographing. It is a survey of what is visible, which is exactly why paperwork matters.
How to prepare
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
