- Commercial premises are quoted individually on floor area and complexity.
Hockley Heath EPC prices in full
The tiers below are the same across Solihull; Hockley Heath 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
- Number of bedrooms — the single biggest driver, because it proxies for floor area
- Extensions and conversions — each one is a separate construction the assessor must record
- 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
- 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
We quote a fixed price when you book and you pay the assessor on the day. There is no deposit, and no situation in which the price moves after the visit.
What a Hockley Heath property typically scores
Hockley Heath is largely canal-side cottages, farmhouses and rural properties often off the mains gas grid. On pre-cavity brick and stone housing, the rating is usually held back by nine-inch solid brickwork, single glazing or thin secondary glazing, and a great deal of air leakage around original joinery.
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 Hockley Heath 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
The housing here is canal-side cottages, farmhouses and rural properties often off the mains gas grid. That pattern holds from Hockley Heath Wharf on the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal through Aylesbury Road and Nuthurst, and it is the single biggest thing shaping what a B94 certificate comes back at.
Local knowledge is worth something here. An assessor who has done a dozen Hockley Heath 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.
