Energy Performance Certificates in Chelmsley Wood.
Chelmsley Wood’s houses, flats and mixed-use centre need assessments that identify the individual property clearly. Whether an owner is selling, a landlord is arranging a tenancy or a business is marketing premises, correct access and information about the building’s systems help establish the appropriate EPC.
Choose the service that matches your property. If you are unsure, tell us how the building is used when you enquire.

A planned estate with different forms of accommodation
Solihull Council’s history explains Chelmsley Wood’s major development in the 1960s, including houses and multi-storey flats. It also describes maisonettes above shops and a layout separating pedestrians from vehicles. This is useful context for both assessment scope and practical appointment arrangements.
When booking, explain the entrance to the dwelling rather than relying solely on the road used for parking. For a flat, include the block, unit number and floor, along with entry arrangements. Accurate identification helps avoid confusion where pedestrian approaches and vehicle access differ.
Flats, shared fabric and later improvements
For a dwelling in a larger block, the resident may not hold every relevant record. Ask the landlord, freeholder or managing agent for information about shared heating and improvements to the external fabric. Do not assume another flat’s certificate reflects the exposure or systems of your own home.
If insulation, glazing or heating has been upgraded, keep the supporting documentation. Works to a whole block and works within an individual flat may have different records. Tell the assessor what has been completed and who can provide technical details; the rating must reflect the actual dwelling rather than a general claim that the estate has been improved.
Maisonettes, shops and newer accommodation
For a maisonette above a business, explain whether services or access are shared and identify the accommodation included in the sale or letting. Residential and non-domestic spaces should not be assumed to be covered by the same certificate. Plans can help clarify the boundary between the premises.
Not every Chelmsley Wood property belongs to the original development period. The council’s Simon Digby project information describes further housing proposals in the area, illustrating the need to distinguish existing homes from new construction. For a newly built property, ask about the appropriate new-build assessment and documentation rather than assuming an existing-home visit is sufficient.
EPC requirements for owners and landlords
When selling or letting a property in England, check for an appropriate valid certificate and commission one before marketing if required. Covered private rentals must also meet the current minimum EPC E standard unless a valid exemption applies. A building's age or conservation-area address does not automatically establish an exemption.

Why give directions to the entrance as well as the postcode?
Chelmsley Wood’s planned pedestrian and vehicle routes can differ. Clear entry instructions and any block-access arrangements make it easier to reach the correct dwelling.
Can I use another flat’s EPC in the same tower block?
No assumption should be made that it covers your dwelling. Floor position, exposed surfaces and systems can differ; check the exact address on the register.
Who holds information about insulation fitted to the block?
The landlord, freeholder or managing agent may hold specifications and completion records. Ask for them before the appointment where relevant.
Does a maisonette above a shop need the same assessment as the shop?
Residential and business accommodation can have different assessment requirements. Describe both parts and their access and services before booking.
