How to Get an EPC in Marston Green

A clear, local guide to getting an EPC in Marston Green, Solihull — what it costs, how long it takes, and what the assessor looks at on inter-war semis and villas.

How do you get an EPC in Marston Green?

  • Certificates are lodged to the national register, usually within 24 hours.
  • The assessment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical home.
  • A domestic EPC in Marston Green starts from £60 and is valid for 10 years.
  • An EPC is a legal requirement before a Marston Green property is marketed for sale or let.
  • Nothing is payable up front — you settle with the assessor on the day.

What the assessor looks at in a Marston Green property

Marston Green is characterised by Edwardian and inter-war villas around the station with later infill estates — the streets around Marston Green station and Alcott Hall, and out through Station Road, Elmdon Heath, Bickenhill and Coleshill Heath. On inter-war semis and villas, the assessor is mainly recording cavities that were never filled, roof insulation well below current depth, and early double glazing that has lost its seal.

Mains gas is the norm here, so the fuel type is rarely the problem. The age of the boiler and whether it has proper controls usually is.

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
  • Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
  • 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
