Mid Devon is a largely rural district built around the towns of Tiverton, Cullompton and Crediton, with many small villages and farms. Rented homes range from Victorian terraces and post-war houses in the towns to cob and stone cottages in the villages, and large new estates are being built near the M5. Many rural homes are off mains gas and some are listed or thatched.

What to check at a Mid Devon check-in
- Cob and thatched cottages in the villages: photograph wall surfaces, damp patches, the thatch condition where visible and any wood burner and flue.
- Rural homes off mains gas: photograph the oil tank, its gauge level and the boiler service label.
- Homes on private water or drainage: record the septic tank or treatment plant, and any borehole or spring supply.
- Riverside homes in Tiverton and along the Exe and Culm: note any signs of past flooding on floors and lower walls.
- New-build homes near the M5: record snagging marks, sealant and any cracks so they are noted before the tenancy.

£881 a month (ONS, September 2026), up 1.5% on a year earlier. Rents vary a lot by street and type of home; the free property report shows sold prices, the EPC and more for any Mid Devon postcode.
Do landlords need a licence in Mid Devon?
Selective licensing: No selective licensing scheme. Additional HMO licensing: No additional HMO licensing scheme: only the national mandatory licence for HMOs with five or more people from two or more households sharing amenities. Fees: £1,083 for a new HMO licence (3 to 5 units) or £615 for a renewal (2026/27) Check the council’s own page before letting, as schemes change.
Can I do my own check-in inventory in Mid Devon?
Yes. Landlords, agents and tenants can do it on a phone: a photo checklist for every room, the date and time stamped on every photo, every item’s condition, and both sides sign. The PDF is ready the moment it’s signed.
Will a DIY inventory stand up in a deposit dispute?
Deposit schemes (DPS, TDS, mydeposits) decide on the evidence, above all the condition at check-in compared with check-out. Dated photos of every room, signed by both sides, are exactly that evidence.
