- Select a morning or afternoon window. The precise appointment is confirmed by phone the previous day.
- Let the assessor in. Someone needs to provide access to every room, including the loft hatch.
- Get the certificate. We lodge it to the national register and email it to you, usually the same or next day.
What the assessor looks at in a Hillfields property
Hillfields is characterised by dense Victorian terraces built for the watchmaking and ribbon trades, with 1960s blocks between them — the streets around the Hillfields clock tower and Primrose Hill Park, and out through Paynes Lane, Harnall Lane, Victoria Street and Berry Street. On period, solid-walled housing, the assessor is mainly recording solid masonry walls, tall single-glazed sashes, and heat loss through uninsulated roof slopes and party walls.
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
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
