Holbrooks was built for the workers of the Dunlop, Alfred Herbert and aircraft factories that lined Holbrook Lane, and its semis and short terraces date mostly from the 1920s to the 1950s. That is a good era for EPCs: cavity walls, lofts you can top up and improvements that are cheap and predictable.
Yes. NextDay EPC provides Energy Performance Certificates throughout Holbrooks (CV6), covering the inter-war and post-war semis around Holbrook Lane, Burnaby Road, Parkgate Road and Wheelwright Lane, the older terraces towards Lockhurst Lane and the homes beside Holbrook Park. Assessors are Coventry-based and next-day appointments are the norm.
Holbrook Lane was one of Coventry's great industrial roads, with Dunlop, Alfred Herbert's machine-tool works and wartime aircraft production all along it, and the council and private builders housed that workforce in the avenues that spread west towards Keresley and north to the M6. Holbrook Park is the main open space, the Coventry Canal runs along the eastern edge, and the district's shops cluster on Holbrook Lane and Burnaby Road. Much of the industry has gone but the housing is intact and steady.
Houses here nearly all have cavity walls, and many were insulated under council or utility schemes in the 2000s, so the first thing the assessor checks is whether that has happened. With filled cavities, a topped-up loft and a condensing boiler, a Holbrooks semi reaches C; with none of them it sits at D. Original steel-framed windows, still found on some 1930s houses, are recorded as single glazing and are one of the biggest single upgrades. The few pre-1919 terraces near Lockhurst Lane are solid-walled and follow the inner-city pattern instead.
A large share of Holbrooks' homes were bought under right-to-buy and are now sold on or let out, and the certificate is one of the first documents a buyer or a letting agent asks for. For landlords, the 2030 target is realistic here because the cavity-wall fix is cheap, and we say clearly on the certificate whether that fix has already been done. If you have a guarantee or a council letter for previous insulation, have it ready.

Holbrook Lane, Burnaby Road, Parkgate Road and the rest of Holbrooks in CV6.
They are recorded as single glazing, which is a significant heat loss, and replacing them is usually the second most effective upgrade after cavity-wall insulation. The assessor notes the current glazing exactly as found and the recommendations report shows what a change would gain.
Typically 30 to 45 minutes. The assessor measures every room, checks the loft, the boiler and the controls, looks for cavity-fill evidence and photographs the key items. The certificate is lodged to the national register the same day.
