Booking, step by step

  1. Give us the basics. The address, the property type and the bedroom count are enough to price it exactly.
  2. Pick the half of the day that suits. We ring with the confirmed time the day before the visit.
  3. Be there, or send someone. Access to all rooms and the loft is what keeps the rating accurate.
  4. 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 Majors Green property

Majors Green is characterised by canal-side cottages, inter-war semis and rural smallholdings — the streets around the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal at Shirley Drawbridge, and out through Yardley Wood Road, Peterbrook, Truemans Heath and Solihull Lodge. On pre-cavity brick and stone housing, the assessor is mainly recording nine-inch solid brickwork, single glazing or thin secondary glazing, and a great deal of air leakage around original joinery.

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

  • Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
  • Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
  • 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
  • Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
  • Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
