Yes, Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are generally required for holiday lets—but it depends on how the property is used.

🔍 When Is an EPC Required for a Holiday Let?

You must have an EPC if:

• The property is let out for periods of 6 months or more.

• The property is rented out as a self-contained unit (with kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping areas).

• The let is part of a tenancy agreement or available for rent for more than 4 months in a 12-month period.

🏡 When Is an EPC Not Required?

You may be exempt if:

• The holiday let is used for less than 4 months in a year, or

• The energy used is under the control of the owner, such as when heating and lighting are provided centrally and not controlled by the tenant.

• It’s part of a larger establishment (like a hotel or B&B) rather than an independent dwelling.

📌 Key Considerations:

• Furnished holiday lets that are listed as entire homes on platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com often fall under EPC requirements if available to let for extended periods.

• Local authorities and letting platforms may ask for an EPC as part of compliance or advertising policies.
