Catherine-de-Barnes EPC prices in full
Domestic pricing is driven by the size of the property, not by which part of Solihull it sits in. Every price includes the assessment, the calculation and lodging to the national register:
| Property size | Typical EPC price | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | £60 | Next-day available |
| 2–3 bedrooms | £80 | Next-day available |
| 4–5 bedrooms | £100 | Next-day available |
| 6+ bedrooms | On request | Next-day available |
Commercial premises are quoted individually because they are modelled differently — see Commercial EPC for how that works.
What actually changes the price
- Property type — a flat is quicker to assess than a detached house with extensions
- Commercial floor area — commercial EPCs are quoted on floor area and complexity, not bedrooms
- Extensions and conversions — each one is a separate construction the assessor must record
- Number of bedrooms — the single biggest driver, because it proxies for floor area
- Access — a property where the loft, garage and outbuildings are all open takes less time on site
Why there is nothing to pay up front
The figure agreed at booking is the figure you pay. Nothing is taken in advance, and if a property turns out larger than described we say so before starting, not after.
What a Catherine-de-Barnes property typically scores
Catherine-de-Barnes is largely canal-side cottages and detached homes on large rural plots. On period, solid-walled housing, the rating is usually held back by solid masonry walls, tall single-glazed sashes, and heat loss through uninsulated roof slopes and party walls.
The cheap points come first: top the loft up, seal the draughts, fit a proper programmer and thermostat. On this construction that is the whole of the low-hanging fruit.
| Band | SAP score | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| A | 92–100 | Excellent — very low running costs |
| B | 81–91 | Very good — efficient modern home |
| C | 69–80 | Good — the target for rented homes by 2030 |
| D | 55–68 | Average — where most of Catherine-de-Barnes sits |
| E | 39–54 | Below par — today’s legal minimum to let |
| F–G | 1–38 | Poor — cannot be let without works or an exemption |
Pricing against the local stock
Across the B92 postcodes, Catherine-de-Barnes is characterised by canal-side cottages and detached homes on large rural plots. Hampton Lane and Hampton-in-Arden sit at either end of that range, and the difference between them is worth more points than most owners expect.
Because our assessors work the B92 postcodes regularly, they arrive knowing what to look for on a Catherine-de-Barnes property rather than working it out from scratch.
Is a cheaper EPC worth it?
Every EPC ends up on the same register in the same format. The variable is not the paperwork, it is how carefully the property was recorded. An assessor who cannot access the loft, or who does not ask for your cavity-fill evidence, records the pessimistic default — and that default can easily cost you a band. On a rental heading toward the 2030 deadline, a wrongly recorded band is far more expensive than the £20 you saved.
