What an EPC costs in Elmdon
Size sets the price. There is no Elmdon premium and no Solihull surcharge; the tiers below apply borough-wide. 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
- Give us the basics. The address, the property type and the bedroom count are enough to price it exactly.
- 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 Elmdon property
Elmdon is characterised by post-war semis and airport-adjacent estates, many with later extensions — the streets around Elmdon Park and Elmdon Nature Reserve, and out through Elmdon Heath, Lyndon, Hobs Moat and Damsonwood. On 1950s and 1960s estate stock, the assessor is mainly recording system-built panels in places, direct electric heating, and flat or shallow-pitched roofs that are awkward to upgrade.
Electric heating is the deciding factor on much of this stock, and no amount of insulation fully compensates for it.
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
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- 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
