If you rent out a cottage, self catering apartment,lodge etc for 4 months or more in any 12 month period, you must, by April 2011 have an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), before you can rent them out. There has been much debate and contestation regarding the legality of including Holiday Lets in the Legislation. This has subsequently been confirmed by the Housing Minister ( as at October 2011 ).
These measures were set out in April 2008 with the EPBD (European Performance of Buildings Directive) but have been postponed until now by CLG (Communities & Local Government).
