What the assessor looks at in a Holbrooks property

Holbrooks is characterised by inter-war semis built for the aircraft and motor works — the streets around Holbrook Park and the Coventry Canal, and out through Holbrook Lane, Sewall Highway, Torrington Avenue and Rotherham Road. On housing from the 1920s and 1930s, 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.

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.

Allow up to an hour. The assessor measures, photographs the heating and records every external wall construction; none of it involves lifting or drilling anything.

How to prepare

  • 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
  • Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
  • 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
