How much does an EPC cost in Hillfield?
An EPC in Hillfield costs from £60 for a one-bedroom property, £80 for two to three bedrooms and £100 for four to five. NextDay EPC fixes the price when you book, adds no hidden fees, and takes no payment until the accredited assessor arrives at the property.
- The quoted figure includes lodging the certificate to the national register.
- Price is set by property size, not by postcode.
- Commercial premises are quoted individually on floor area and complexity.
- Extensions and annexes add assessment time and can affect the quote.
- There is no deposit and nothing to pay in advance.
Hillfield EPC prices in full
The tiers below are the same across Solihull; Hillfield is not priced differently from anywhere else. 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
- 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
- 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
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 Hillfield property typically scores
Hillfield is largely 1960s to 1980s detached and link-detached family homes. On later 20th-century and modern housing, the rating is usually held back by no real fabric weakness. The gap is in how the heating is controlled and how the hot water is stored.
Do not over-engineer it. On a well-built modern home the remaining points are in controls and lighting, and both are inexpensive.
| 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 Hillfield 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 B91 postcodes, Hillfield is characterised by 1960s to 1980s detached and link-detached family homes. Hillfield Park and Shelly Farm sit at either end of that range, and the difference between them is worth more points than most owners expect.
Local knowledge is worth something here. An assessor who has done a dozen Hillfield properties knows which assumptions are safe and which need evidence before they are recorded.
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.
