What an EPC costs in Fordbridge
Pricing follows property size, not postcode, so a three-bedroom house in Fordbridge costs the same as a three-bedroom house anywhere else in Solihull. 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
- Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
- Select a morning or afternoon window. The precise appointment is confirmed by phone the previous day.
- Be there, or send someone. Access to all rooms and the loft is what keeps the rating accurate.
- Collect the result. Lodging happens the same or next day, and the PDF lands in your inbox.
What the assessor looks at in a Fordbridge property
Fordbridge is characterised by post-war estate housing with a mix of cavity and solid-wall construction — the streets around Fordbridge Park and Alcott Wood, and out through Chelmsley Road, Alcott Lane, Kingshurst and Marston Green. On post-war estate housing, the assessor is mainly recording construction that does not always take standard cavity insulation, electric or storage heating in some blocks, and shallow roof voids with limited insulation depth.
Electric heating is the deciding factor on much of this stock, and no amount of insulation fully compensates for it.
The visit takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical Fordbridge home. Nothing is invasive — but the more evidence you can produce, the better your rating is likely to be.
How to prepare
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
