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.
- Be there, or send someone. Access to all rooms and the loft is what keeps the rating accurate.
- 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 Hillfield property
Hillfield is characterised by 1960s to 1980s detached and link-detached family homes — the streets around Hillfield Park and Solihull Ice Rink, and out through Hillfield Park, Monkspath Hall Road, Sharmans Cross and Shelly Farm. On modern, well-insulated stock, the assessor is mainly recording very little, structurally — the fabric was built to a decent standard, so the missing points sit in the heating controls, the hot-water system and the lighting.
Almost all of this stock is on mains gas with a condensing boiler already fitted, so the fuel type itself is rarely the problem.
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
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- 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
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
