Booking, step by step
- Give us the basics. The address, the property type and the bedroom count are enough to price it exactly.
- Select a morning or afternoon window. The precise appointment is confirmed by phone the previous day.
- Provide access. Every room matters, and so does the loft — it does not have to be the owner who lets us in.
- Collect the result. Lodging happens the same or next day, and the PDF lands in your inbox.
What the assessor looks at in a Lode Heath property
Lode Heath is characterised by 1930s and post-war semis built around the Lode Lane works, plus later infill housing — the streets around Malvern & Brueton Park, and out through Lode Lane, Hobs Moat, Ulverley and Damson Parkway. On inter-war semis and villas, the assessor is mainly recording unfilled cavity walls, thin or compressed loft insulation, and original suspended timber floors that lose heat from below.
These homes are nearly always on gas, which the calculation treats kindly. The question is whether the boiler is a modern condensing unit and whether anything is actually controlling it.
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
- 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
- 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
