What an EPC costs in Kingshurst
Pricing follows property size, not postcode, so a three-bedroom house in Kingshurst 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.
- Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
- 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 Kingshurst property
Kingshurst is characterised by 1950s and 1960s semis and terraces, many now privately owned and part-improved — the streets around Babbs Mill Lake and Kingshurst Park, and out through Marston Drive, Overgreen, Gilson Way and Fordbridge. On mid-century estate housing, the assessor is mainly recording system-built panels in places, direct electric heating, and flat or shallow-pitched roofs that are awkward to upgrade.
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
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- 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
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
