A good EPC rating highlights that your property is energy efficient, comfortable, and environmentally friendly, qualities that many modern travellers actively look for. Displaying your EPC can therefore build trust and set your property apart from others on the market.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Below, we break down everything holiday-let owners need to know about EPCs&#8230;\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>What is an EPC?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that shows how energy efficient a property is. It gives the building a rating on a scale from A to G, with A being very efficient (lower running costs and less carbon emissions) and G being very inefficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The EPC doesn\u2019t just give a score, it also provides:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Estimated energy costs<\/strong> for heating, hot water, and lighting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbon dioxide emissions<\/strong> linked to the property\u2019s energy use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommendations<\/strong> on how to improve the building\u2019s efficiency, such as adding insulation, upgrading heating systems, or fitting double glazing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For holiday let owners, this is particularly useful because it gives a clear picture of how cost-effective the property is to run, and how comfortable it will be for guests in colder months. An EPC is valid for <strong>10 years<\/strong> once issued, unless major changes (like a new heating system or extension) mean a new assessment is needed.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/1.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/1-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>How to Get an EPC<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting an Energy Performance Certificate is a straightforward process, but it must be done by a qualified professional. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find an Accredited Assessor<\/strong><br \/>\nEPCs can only be issued by government-approved domestic energy assessors. In Wales, you can search for a local assessor on the UK Government EPC Register. Many estate agents and specialist energy firms also offer the service, but always check they\u2019re accredited.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Book an Assessmen<\/strong>t<br \/>\nThe assessor will arrange a visit to your property. A typical inspection usually takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the holiday let.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Property Inspection<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the visit, the assessor will look at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The type of construction and building materials used.<\/li>\n<li>Levels of insulation in walls, floors, and loft spaces.<\/li>\n<li>Heating systems, boilers, and thermostats.<\/li>\n<li>Windows and glazing types.<\/li>\n<li>Lighting and any renewable technologies (such as solar panels).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They won\u2019t need to do anything invasive, but they will need access to all rooms, the loft if possible, and heating systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Receive Your EPC Report\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter the inspection, the assessor will calculate the property\u2019s energy efficiency and issue the certificate. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The overall rating (A\u2013G scale).<\/li>\n<li>An environmental impact rating showing carbon emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Estimated running costs for heating, hot water, and lighting.<\/li>\n<li>Practical recommendations to improve efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The certificate is then officially lodged on the government database, where anyone (such as guests, letting agents, or potential buyers) can view it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost of an EPC<\/strong><br \/>\nThe cost of an EPC in Wales typically ranges from \u00a360 to \u00a3120, depending on the property size and the assessor. Holiday let owners often find this a worthwhile investment, especially as the same certificate lasts 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering about the cost of a holiday let, take a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/the-costs-of-owning-and-running-a-holiday-let\/\">guide on the costs of running a holiday let in North Wales.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/2.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/2-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Are EPCs a Legal Requirement?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether or not you need an EPC for your holiday let in Wales depends on how and how often the property is rented out. The rules are a little different for holiday accommodation compared to standard long-term rentals, so it\u2019s important to understand the criteria.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When an EPC is Required<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You must have a valid EPC if your holiday let:<\/p>\n<p>Is rented out for at least 4 months (120 days) within any 12-month period, and<\/p>\n<p>Each booking or stay is for 31 days or less.<\/p>\n<p>This means that if your property is regularly available for short breaks and weekend stays, an EPC is almost always required.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When an EPC May Not Be Required<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You may not need an EPC if:<\/p>\n<p>The property is only let for very short periods of the year (fewer than 4 months in total).<\/p>\n<p>Guests typically stay for longer than 31 days at a time (making it more like a standard tenancy agreement).<\/p>\n<p>The property is genuinely used only for personal holiday use, with very occasional letting.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your holiday let falls outside the legal requirement, many owners still choose to get an EPC because of its benefits (marketing, guest confidence, and preparing for future regulation).<\/p>\n<p>Looking to be more eco-friendly?

While there is sometimes an assumption that EPCs are not required, in fact many still do. However, if recommended improvements would unacceptably alter the property\u2019s character, exemptions may apply. It\u2019s always best to seek advice from your local authority\u2019s conservation officer before carrying out energy efficiency works on historic properties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10801\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/7.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/7-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/7-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/7-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Advantage of Having EPC for Holiday Lets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Even if your holiday let isn\u2019t legally required to have an EPC, there are many reasons why it\u2019s worth getting one. An EPC is more than a compliance certificate \u2014 it can be a marketing tool, a cost-saving guide, and a way to future-proof your property.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Guest Appeal &amp; Marketing Value<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Modern travellers are increasingly aware of sustainability and environmental impact. An EPC allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Promote your property as eco-friendly, appealing to guests who want a greener stay.<\/li>\n<li>Stand out on listing platforms by highlighting your energy efficiency.<\/li>\n<li>Reassure guests that your property will be warm, comfortable, and affordable to run (particularly important in colder Welsh winters).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Lower Running Costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Holiday lets often see higher energy use than private homes because heating, lighting, and appliances are in frequent use. By following EPC recommendations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ll cut down on wasted energy.<\/li>\n<li>Guests won\u2019t be tempted to leave heating on full blast because the property retains warmth better.<\/li>\n<li>Your long-term utility bills will be significantly lower.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Increased Property Value<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A better EPC rating can directly influence property value. Buyers \u2014 whether investors or private owners \u2014 often consider EPC ratings when making decisions. A strong rating can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make your property more attractive on the market.<\/li>\n<li>Help secure a better mortgage rate or lending terms, as lenders are beginning to factor in energy efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Compliance &amp; Peace of Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even if your holiday let doesn\u2019t currently fall under EPC regulations, the rules are tightening. Wales is in the process of rolling out a visitor accommodation licensing scheme, and EPC standards may well become part of that in future. Having an EPC already in place means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You won\u2019t face last-minute compliance costs.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll be prepared if the minimum rating requirements rise (as has been discussed at UK level, with a possible move towards a \u201cC\u201d minimum in future).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Environmental Benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Wales has ambitious net-zero carbon targets. By improving your holiday let\u2019s energy efficiency, you\u2019re contributing to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower carbon emissions.<\/li>\n<li>A more sustainable tourism sector.<\/li>\n<li>Positive publicity for your property \u2014 guests increasingly value accommodation that aligns with eco-friendly values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/4.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/4-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/4-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/4-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Ways to Improve the Energy Performance Certificate Rating for Your Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If your EPC shows a lower rating, or just scrapes through at the legal minimum, there are plenty of ways to improve it. Many of these upgrades will not only boost your score but also reduce running costs and improve guest comfort, which makes your holiday let more attractive.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Insulation First<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Good insulation is the single biggest improvement most properties can make.<\/p>\n<p>Loft insulation: Topping up to at least 270mm can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n<p>Cavity wall insulation: If your property was built after the 1920s and has cavity walls, insulating them is usually quick and cost-effective.<\/p>\n<p>Solid wall insulation: Older Welsh cottages often have solid stone walls; internal or external insulation can improve efficiency dramatically (though may need planning consent for listed buildings).<\/p>\n<p>Floor insulation: Insulating suspended timber floors helps prevent heat loss in draughty cottages.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Upgrade Heating Systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Heating makes up the bulk of energy costs in holiday lets.<\/p>\n<p>Replace old, inefficient boilers with a modern condensing boiler.<\/p>\n<p>Install smart thermostats or heating controls so guests can adjust heat without wasting energy.<\/p>\n<p>Consider renewable heating, such as air-source heat pumps, which are becoming more common in Wales.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Improve Windows and Doors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Swap single glazing for double or triple glazing where possible.<\/p>\n<p>Use secondary glazing in listed buildings where replacement isn\u2019t allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Draught-proof doors and windows to prevent heat escaping.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lighting and Appliances<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Guests often leave lights and appliances running longer than in their own homes.<\/p>\n<p>Fit LED lighting throughout the property.<\/p>\n<p>Supply energy-efficient appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, fridges).<\/p>\n<p>Add timers or smart plugs for outside lighting and appliances to cut unnecessary use.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Renewable Energy Options<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Solar panels can generate electricity for the property and appeal to eco-conscious guests.<\/p>\n<p>Solar thermal systems for hot water are a relatively low-impact option.<\/p>\n<p>Battery storage can help maximise the use of renewable energy onsite.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hot Water Efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Insulate hot water cylinders with a thick jacket.<\/p>\n<p>Fit thermostatic mixing valves to reduce waste.<\/p>\n<p>Use low-flow showerheads and taps that maintain comfort while cutting energy and water use.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Quick Wins That Guests Notice<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Thick curtains with thermal linings.<\/p>\n<p>Draught excluders for doors.<\/p>\n<p>Clear guest information encouraging sensible energy use (without making them feel restricted).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Funding and Grants<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Welsh landlords and holiday-let owners may be eligible for support schemes, particularly for insulation and renewable heating. It\u2019s worth checking with your local authority or the Welsh Government\u2019s energy efficiency programmes (such as NEST or other grant schemes).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/8.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/8-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/8-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.menaiholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/8-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>EPCs are more than just a compliance box-tick, they\u2019re a valuable tool for making your Welsh holiday let more sustainable, comfortable, and appealing to today\u2019s guests.
