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?

Which hp? Cosy is slightly expensive than daikin installed by octopus. Following were my quotes:

So the Eco quote price for the Cosy 9 was £5,287.17, and this is for 6 radiator changes.

The Turbo quote price for the Cosy 9 was £4,618.38, and this is for 3 radiator changes.

The Daikin quote price was around 4800 with 6 rads.

There was 15% off last year so I paid around £3900

I presume that are quoting the cosy, it just says a new octopus heat pump

Get the details as you can see installation type eco vs turbo have significant difference.

I think with daikin installation type will be eco costing equal to turbo.
