What the assessor looks at in a Solihull Town Centre property

Solihull Town Centre is characterised by Georgian and Victorian town houses around the old High Street alongside modern apartment conversions — the streets around Touchwood and St Alphege Church, and out through Malvern Park, Brueton Park, Poplar Road and Warwick Road. 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.

Some of this stock is heated by oil, LPG or electric panels. The calculation penalises all three heavily, so the heating system often matters more than the walls.

The visit takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical Solihull Town Centre home. Nothing is invasive — but the more evidence you can produce, the better your rating is likely to be.

How to prepare

  • 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
  • Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
  • Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
  • Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
