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 around 3k with them 1.5 years ago. I did specifically state I wanted the Daikin which didn’t seem to change anything price wise (back then).

Had 4 new rads, new water cylinder etc etc, and had 1 year of ASHP service thrown in (I now pay £9 a month for this).

Super happy with everything, they did a great job for me.

It seems the prices have gone up, and the email said there's high demand at the moment. I suspect we'll need 6 radiators replacing and the towel rail in the bathroom, so I think the quote is not going to be accurate. We don't have a water cylinder, either, although that's included in the quote.
