Booking, step by step
- Tell us the property. Address, type and number of bedrooms — that is all we need for a fixed price.
- Select a morning or afternoon window. The precise appointment is confirmed by phone the previous day.
- Let the assessor in. Someone needs to provide access to every room, including the loft hatch.
- 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 Olton property
Olton is characterised by large Edwardian villas along the Warwick Road and inter-war semis on the Lyndon estates — the streets around Olton Mere and Olton Jubilee Park, and out through Olton Mere, Ulverley Green, Lyndon and Damsonwood. On inter-war semis and villas, the assessor is mainly recording an empty wall cavity, a loft that was insulated decades ago and has since been flattened by storage, and draughty timber floors.
Mains gas is the norm here, so the fuel type is rarely the problem. The age of the boiler and whether it has proper controls usually is.
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
- 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
- Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
- Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
