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.
