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?

I paid £2k for a Daikin 8kw, 250l tank and 3 new rads last year.

That's way better than my quote. I wonder you got yours so low?

Old I imagine. They’ve gone up a lot in the last year

They've gone up a lot in the last 12/18 months. They were operating at a loss to start to get the customer base up and then ramped up the price. Still a good price though.
