Exeter's Georgian and growing commuter city
Exeter is one of Devon's fastest-growing cities, with a housing mix spanning Georgian and Victorian terraces in St Thomas and Heavitree, the university areas around EX4 with high HMO density, and rapid new-build expansion in Cranbrook (EX5) and east of the city. Around 30% of Exeter homes are privately rented — one of the highest proportions in the South West — driven largely by the University of Exeter. The cathedral city status, combined with Exeter's role as a regional hub, produces steady demand for EPCs from both rental landlords and property vendors.

Do I need an EPC for a flat in Exeter?+
Yes. All flats and apartments require an EPC for sale or rental, regardless of whether the building is leasehold or freehold. The EPC covers the individual unit, not the whole building. A seller or landlord of a flat in Exeter is responsible for commissioning their own certificate.
My EPC has expired — do I need a new one in Exeter?+
Yes, if you are actively marketing the property. EPCs are valid for 10 years. If yours has expired and you are selling or re-letting in Exeter, you must obtain a new one before marketing. Takes 60 seconds to book online.

Do you cover Cranbrook and the new-build estates east of Exeter?+
