To get an EPC in Knowle, book an accredited assessor, choose an AM, PM or anytime slot, and provide access to every room including the loft. NextDay EPC covers Knowle and the B93 postcodes with next-day availability, fixed prices from £60, and no payment until the appointment itself.
- A domestic EPC in Knowle starts from £60 and is valid for 10 years.
- Nothing is payable up front — you settle with the assessor on the day.
- The assessment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical home.
- An EPC is a legal requirement before a Knowle property is marketed for sale or let.
- Certificates are lodged to the national register, usually within 24 hours.
What an EPC costs in Knowle
Pricing follows property size, not postcode, so a three-bedroom house in Knowle 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
- Tell us the property. Address, type and number of bedrooms — that is all we need for a fixed price.
- Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
- Let the assessor in. Someone needs to provide access to every room, including the loft hatch.
- Receive and file it. The certificate is lodged nationally and emailed across, normally within 24 hours.
What the assessor looks at in a Knowle property
Knowle is characterised by listed timber-framed buildings on the High Street alongside large detached homes — the streets around Knowle Locks and the Church of St John the Baptist, and out through Kenilworth Road, Grimshaw Hall, Copt Heath and Chester House. On Victorian and post-war stock, the assessor is mainly recording solid walls with no cavity to fill, original sash windows that cannot simply be replaced, and roof and floor voids that were never designed to hold insulation.
Where a property sits off the mains gas grid on oil or LPG, the calculation is unforgiving, and the fuel type is usually the single biggest lever on the score.
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
- Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
- Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
- Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
- 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
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
