What the assessor looks at in a Widney Manor property
Widney Manor is characterised by inter-war detached homes and a scattering of large country properties — the streets around Widney Manor station and Berry Hall, and out through Widney Manor Road, Bentley Heath, Copt Heath and Rotherfield. 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.
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.
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
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
