What an EPC costs in Berkswell
The price depends on how big the property is, not where in Solihull it sits — Berkswell is charged on exactly the same scale as everywhere else. Every figure includes lodging the certificate to the national register:

|---|---|---|
| 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
- Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
- Choose AM, PM or anytime. No rigid time slots to guess at. We confirm the exact time the day before.
- Let the assessor in. Someone needs to provide access to every room, including the loft hatch.
- Collect the result. Lodging happens the same or next day, and the PDF lands in your inbox.
What the assessor looks at in a Berkswell property
Berkswell is characterised by listed cottages, converted farm buildings and solid-wall period homes — the streets around Berkswell Windmill and the Norman church of St John Baptist, and out through Meriden Road, Carol Green, Four Oaks and Balsall Street. On Victorian and post-war stock, the assessor is mainly recording solid walls with no cavity to fill, original sash windows that cannot simply be replaced, and roof and floor voids that were never designed to hold insulation.
Some of this stock is heated by oil, LPG or electric panels. The calculation penalises all three heavily, so the heating system often matters more than the walls.
Allow up to an hour. The assessor measures, photographs the heating and records every external wall construction; none of it involves lifting or drilling anything.
How to prepare
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- 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
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
