Booking, step by step
- Tell us the property. Address, type and number of bedrooms — that is all we need for a fixed price.
- Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Get the certificate. We lodge it to the national register and email it to you, usually the same or next day.
What the assessor looks at in a Chelmsley Wood property
Chelmsley Wood is characterised by 1960s system-built maisonettes, flats and terraces from the original overspill estate — the streets around Babbs Mill Park and Chelmsley Wood Shopping Centre, and out through Craig Croft, Bosworth Drive, Yorkminster Drive and Moorend. On post-war estate 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.
All-electric flats and maisonettes are the hard cases. Model the heating swap first — it usually decides whether band C is reachable.
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
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- 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
- 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
