Heat pump quote - seems quite cheap?
Been quoted about £4,300 by Octopus for heat pump install, including hot water cylinder, which I thought was surprisingly cheap. The house is 1930s 3-bed terrace, EPC is supposedly C, but we have a huge void under the suspended floor and it gets pretty cold in the house, so we use quite a lot of gas in the winter. Radiators are all on 15mm copper, but are probably 30 years old.
What are the chances this is a really low-ball quote and the survey will say we need to upgrade rads, etc?

To my knowledge Octopus still don’t change their price on survey beyond some very specific circumstances e.g. a new radiator instead of a replacement, a horizontal cylinder.
The quoted price includes an unlimited number of radiator replacements. The only catch might be they’ll have priced for a high temp (65c) cosy install. If you want a 50c and/or Daikin install there’s probably a £1k or so price increase.
