What to expect from a holiday-let EPC assessment
Booking an EPC should feel organised — especially when guest turnovers are tight. Here is what a typical holiday-let assessment looks like with Cotswolds Holiday-Let EPC Compliance.
Before the visit
When you book an EPC assessment, we ask for:
- Address and property type
- Whether the cottage is listed or in a conservation area
- Existing certificate details if you have them
- Access instructions and preferred windows around changeovers
Owners on the Cheltenham fringe and in Cirencester often share lockbox or manager contacts so the visit does not interrupt guests.
On the day
The assessor walks the dwelling, notes construction and services, and records the data needed for the model. Loft hatches, heating controls, and secondary spaces matter. We work carefully in furnished holiday lets — no drama, no unnecessary disruption.

After the visit
You receive a clear explanation of the outcome and how it sits alongside any next steps — filing the certificate, arranging a MEES compliance review, or exploring energy improvement advice.
Keep the write-up useful to whoever runs the diary — band, access notes, and what to do next.
How long does it take?
Most cottages finish in a single appointment. Larger or more complex properties may need longer on site. We confirm expectations when we schedule.
