YOUR HOME IN SOLIHULL
Plan the EPC for your Solihull property.
An extra bedroom does not explain everything about a Solihull property. An Olton house with a rear addition may combine different walls and roof types, while a Shirley flat may rely on information held by a managing agent. Give the full address and current layout when starting your enquiry. If the fixed-price choices do not accurately describe your home in Knowle or elsewhere, ask for a quotation rather than selecting the nearest available category.
Map the heated accommodation
Before the visit, identify which rooms form the main home and which spaces are separate. A converted garage, conservatory and detached annexe should be described on their own terms. Explain any second heating system and where its controls are located. The assessor needs to establish the dwelling's actual features; a broad description such as “fully modernised” cannot replace information about the different parts.
Keep useful evidence with the property file
If work has been carried out during your ownership, look for documents identifying the address, installation and date. This can be particularly useful for concealed insulation in additions or conversions. Ask the previous owner or managing agent for relevant records if that is practical, but do not delay an enquiry because you cannot reconstruct every detail. Explain the evidence available and let the assessor decide what can support the assessment.
Plan around people as well as the building
For a tenanted property, check a suitable visit with the household and agree who will admit the assessor. For an empty home, confirm the right keys are available and explain alarms or restricted entrances. A date chosen online remains a preference until confirmed. If your marketing timetable is tight, say so early rather than relying on an assumed turnaround that has not been agreed.
