What an EPC costs in Bickenhill
Pricing follows property size, not postcode, so a three-bedroom house in Bickenhill costs the same as a three-bedroom house anywhere else in Solihull. Every figure includes lodging the certificate 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 |
Booking, step by step
- Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
- Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Get the certificate. We lodge it to the national register and email it to you, usually the same or next day.
What the assessor looks at in a Bickenhill property
Bickenhill is characterised by village cottages, farmhouses and business-park properties around the NEC — the streets around the NEC, Resorts World and Birmingham Airport, and out through Bickenhill Lane, Catherine-de-Barnes, Marston Green and Hampton-in-Arden. On later 20th-century and modern housing, the assessor is mainly recording no real fabric weakness. The gap is in how the heating is controlled and how the hot water is stored.
Mains gas and a condensing boiler are the norm here, which is the combination the calculation treats best.
Expect the assessor to be on site for around three quarters of an hour, measuring and photographing. It is a survey of what is visible, which is exactly why paperwork matters.
How to prepare
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
