EPC questions, answered
EPC assessments in
the South West
Straight answers from accredited, Truro based assessors covering Cornwall, Devon and the wider South West.
How much does an EPC assessment cost in Cornwall and Devon?
Our EPC assessments start from £75, depending on the size and location of your property. That includes an accredited assessor visit, accurate EPC modelling and clear, property specific improvement recommendations — with no hidden extras.
How long does an EPC assessment take?
Typically thirty minutes to one hour depending on the size of the property. We need full access to all areas, and we record measurements, photographs and evidence to verify construction type, heating and lighting systems and insulation levels.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Truro and carry out EPC assessments and compliance work across the whole of Cornwall and Devon — from city flats in Plymouth and Exeter to farmhouses, cottages and rural estates throughout the South West.
Do rental properties need to reach EPC Band C?
Under MEES and the proposed changes that accompany the Renters’ Rights Act, landlords are expected to work towards EPC Band C. We model realistic Band C pathways for your property, explain exactly which rules apply and help you stay ahead of them without unnecessary spending.
Can my property be exempt from MEES requirements?
Yes — some properties qualify for exemptions, for example where the cost cap is reached or where heritage constraints and third party consents make improvements unsuitable. We identify the right exemption route and gather the evidence needed to register it properly.
Can you assess older, listed and traditional buildings?
Yes. We are Level 3 qualified for older and traditional properties, PAS 2035 Retrofit Assessors and Level 5 Retrofit Coordinators, with two decades of experience in Cornish stone cottages, listed buildings and complex heritage properties.
