What the assessor looks at in a Whitlock's End property
Whitlock's End is characterised by commuter semis and bungalows within walking distance of the station — the streets around Whitlock's End station and Bills Wood, and out through Haslucks Green, Shirley South, Majors Green and Tilehouse Green. On inter-war and 1930s housing, the assessor is mainly recording unfilled cavity walls, thin or compressed loft insulation, and original suspended timber floors that lose heat from below.
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.
The visit takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical Whitlock's End 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
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- 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
