What an EPC costs in Chapelfields

Booking, step by step

  1. Give us the basics. The address, the property type and the bedroom count are enough to price it exactly.
  2. Choose AM, PM or anytime. No rigid time slots to guess at. We confirm the exact time the day before.
  3. Be there, or send someone. Access to all rooms and the loft is what keeps the rating accurate.
  4. Receive and file it. The certificate is lodged nationally and emailed across, normally within 24 hours.

What the assessor looks at in a Chapelfields property

Chapelfields is characterised by purpose-built Victorian watchmakers' cottages with distinctive top-floor workshop windows — the streets around the Chapelfields watchmakers' quarter, and out through Allesley Old Road, Craven Street, Hearsall Lane and Sir Thomas White's Road. On older, solid-walled property, the assessor is mainly recording the absence of any wall cavity, high ceilings that are expensive to heat, and suspended floors open to the void beneath.

Where a property sits off the mains gas grid on oil or LPG, the calculation is unforgiving, and the fuel type is usually the single biggest lever on the score.

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
  • Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
  • Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
  • 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
