Majors Green EPC prices in full
What you pay depends on how much there is to measure, which is why the scale runs on bedrooms. 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
- Property type — a flat is quicker to assess than a detached house with extensions
- Extensions and conversions — each one is a separate construction the assessor must record
- 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
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 Majors Green property typically scores
Majors Green is largely canal-side cottages, inter-war semis and rural smallholdings. 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.
Loft insulation to 270mm, thorough draught-proofing and a full heating-control set are almost always the first three moves. They are cheap, reversible, and every one of them is credited by the calculation.
| 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 Majors Green 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
In practice, Majors Green is canal-side cottages, inter-war semis and rural smallholdings. Walk from the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal at Shirley Drawbridge out towards Peterbrook and the construction shifts under your feet; the B47 & B90 postcode covers several quite different building ages.
Local knowledge is worth something here. An assessor who has done a dozen Majors Green 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.
