North Devon EPC Assessors
If you're buying, selling or renting a property in North Devon, you'll need an Energy Performance Certificate. This legal requirement shows how energy efficient a building is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
North Devon's housing stock tells an interesting story. Most properties here are traditional houses, typically built in the mid-20th century. This means many have real character and charm, but it also explains why the average EPC rating sits at D. In fact, 60% of properties in the area fall below EPC C, which reflects the age of the buildings and their construction standards.
The good news is that older homes often have straightforward ways to improve their energy performance. Across North Devon, loft insulation is the most commonly recommended improvement. This makes sense – heat rises, and many mid-century properties lack adequate insulation in their roof spaces. Adding or upgrading loft insulation is usually affordable and can make a noticeable difference to both your energy bills and your EPC rating.

Whether you're a homeowner looking to improve your rating before selling, or a landlord meeting legal obligations, finding a local assessor is straightforward.

Frequently asked questions
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a legal requirement when you sell or let a property in North Devon. It rates your home's energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), and shows potential buyers or tenants how much it will cost to heat and light the property. You'll need one before marketing your home.
The average EPC rating in North Devon is D, though around 60% of properties fall below EPC C. Many North Devon homes are mid-20th century houses, which tend to have lower energy efficiency ratings due to older construction standards and insulation methods. This doesn't mean your property is unusable – it just highlights where improvements could be made.
The most recommended improvement for North Devon properties is loft insulation, which is cost-effective and can significantly boost your rating. Other improvements include cavity wall insulation, upgrading heating systems, installing double glazing, and improving draught-proofing. An EPC assessor will provide specific recommendations based on your individual property.
An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If you're selling or letting your property, you'll need a current certificate. If your certificate is expiring soon, you'll need to arrange a new assessment before marketing your home.
EPC costs typically range from £60 to £120 depending on your property type and the assessor. For a standard North Devon house, you can expect to pay around £80-£100. It's a one-off cost that's essential for selling or letting, and some estate agents or lettings agents may offer this as part of their service.
