EPC AGENT / SOLIHULL
Solihull EPC assessments need to reflect the individual home or commercial premises, including its original construction and later alterations. Whether preparing a sale, arranging a letting or reviewing improvements, the most useful enquiry identifies the exact accommodation and how it is currently used.

THE RIGHT CERTIFICATE
Choose the service that matches your property. If you are unsure, tell us how the building is used when you enquire.
For houses, flats and other residential properties in Solihull. Contact us about a single home, a rental property or several addresses you manage.
Include the property type and number of bedrooms so we can discuss the assessment and access needed.
Enquire about a residential EPCFor shops, offices, warehouses and other non-domestic premises in Solihull. We will discuss the building before confirming your quote.
Share the floor area if known, the current use and whether the enquiry covers the whole building or an individual unit.
Enquire about a commercial EPCSolihull Council’s conservation information identifies distinct areas including Solihull itself, Olton, Ashleigh Road, Granville Road and Grove Avenue. These designations demonstrate why owners should check their particular address before treating external improvements as routine work. They do not mean the whole town has one conservation status.
For an established house, describe additions such as a rear extension, converted garage or rooms in the roof. Newer sections can differ from the original building in both insulation and construction. Available plans and completion records help the assessor understand those differences without assuming a single specification throughout.
For a leasehold flat, identify the exact unit and floor, and explain whether the heating or hot water is communal. Managing agents may hold relevant system information and records of upgrades to the wider building. Arrange that information before the appointment, particularly if the resident cannot access plant or technical documentation.
An EPC for another flat is not a shortcut. A top-floor dwelling, a home above an unheated space and a flat surrounded by other heated accommodation can have different characteristics. The assessment needs the correct dwelling, even when the internal layouts appear similar.
For offices, shops or other business accommodation, give the approximate size, use and extent of the space being sold or let. Mention separate residential parts and any shared heating, cooling or ventilation. Existing plans are useful, but should reflect the current premises after any refurbishment or subdivision.
If energy improvements are being considered, keep the EPC separate from a detailed design or condition survey. The recommendations help start a conversation about suitable measures; they do not confirm structural condition, grant heritage consent or guarantee bills. EPC Agent can discuss assessment requirements and appointment availability once the property details are clear.
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.
Read our landlord EPC guide and what affects the cost of an EPC for the current rules and practical preparation. For business premises, see commercial EPC requirements.

Book an EPC AssessmentLOCAL QUESTIONS
Use the council’s conservation and heritage map for the exact address. Several separate areas are designated, so the town name alone does not answer the question.
The freeholder, landlord or managing agent may hold the relevant records. Ask in advance so the assessor can obtain the information needed for the dwelling.
Do not assume so. Exposed roofs, floors and systems can differ. Find the record for the exact dwelling or arrange the appropriate assessment.
Provide the address, floor area, use, occupied floors and any plans. Explain shared services or separately occupied parts so the assessment scope is clear.
Local character information is informed by the council sources below. Historical appraisals describe the area's development; they do not establish an individual property's construction, energy rating or current planning status.
