How do you get an EPC in Solihull Lodge?

To get an EPC in Solihull Lodge, book an accredited assessor, choose an AM, PM or anytime slot, and provide access to every room including the loft.

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

What an EPC costs in Solihull Lodge

The price depends on how big the property is, not where in Solihull it sits — Solihull Lodge is charged on exactly the same scale as everywhere else. Every figure includes lodging the certificate to the national register:

Booking, step by step

  1. Tell us the property. Address, type and number of bedrooms — that is all we need for a fixed price.
  2. Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
  3. Let the assessor in. Someone needs to provide access to every room, including the loft hatch.
  4. Collect the result. Lodging happens the same or next day, and the PDF lands in your inbox.

What the assessor looks at in a Solihull Lodge property

Solihull Lodge is characterised by inter-war semis and canal-side cottages near the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal — the streets around the River Cole and Robin Hood Golf Course, and out through Haslucks Green, Bills Lane, Aqueduct Road and Peterbrook. On cavity-built inter-war stock, 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.

Almost all of this stock is on mains gas. If the boiler is more than fifteen years old, replacing it is usually the next best points-per-pound after insulation.

The visit takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical Solihull Lodge home. Nothing is invasive — but the more evidence you can produce, the better your rating is likely to be.

How to prepare

  • 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
  • Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
  • 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
