What the assessor looks at in a Balsall Common property
Balsall Common is characterised by 1960s to 1980s village housing plus period cottages toward Temple Balsall — the streets around Berkswell station and the Balsall Common village centre, and out through Kenilworth Road, Meer End, Temple Balsall and Fen End. On later 20th-century and modern housing, the assessor is mainly recording very little, structurally — the fabric was built to a decent standard, so the missing points sit in the heating controls, the hot-water system and the lighting.
Mains gas and a condensing boiler are the norm here, which is the combination the calculation treats best.
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
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
