Compliance

Is Your Holiday Let Actually Compliant?

A 60–90 minute on site inspection that identifies safety risks, missing certificates and maintenance issues before guests or regulators do. You get a clear photo report and priority actions, so you are not guessing what is missing.

Most owners already have CP12 and EICR in place, but paperwork only reflects a property at the time it was issued. Holiday lets change quickly through guest use, wear and tear and seasonal demand. This check reviews the paperwork and the real-world condition together.

Ideal for properties in Okehampton, Dartmoor, Exeter, Torquay and the wider Torbay area that welcome paying guests and need a clear view of how they stand today.

Suitable for owners preparing for tighter registration and documentation expectations.

Who This Check Is For

Holiday let owners and managing agents remain legally responsible for safety and compliance. Many already have CP12, EICR and a fire risk assessment in place but are still unsure whether anything has been missed or whether the property matches the way it is actually used day to day.

This provides a clear snapshot of what is in place, what is missing and what needs attention on a specific date at a specific property. It supports owners in showing that reasonable steps have been taken and gives a practical action list rather than a pile of disconnected paperwork.

If you want to understand the kinds of issues that commonly get missed in holiday lets, I also share practical guidance for owners and agents in the holiday let advice hub.

What a Compliance Audit Looks Like

A Compliance Audit records what is actually present in your property on a specific date. It documents observed risks, prioritises actions, and creates an evidence trail owners can retain.

A Checklist

Shows what should exist in a holiday let. Useful for awareness, but it does not confirm what is actually in place in your property today.

A Compliance Audit

Documents real conditions, missing items, and deterioration, with prioritised actions and a report you can retain as evidence of reasonable steps taken.

Issue Priorities Explained

  • High Priority: Action required to reduce risk.
  • Medium Priority: Action recommended to prevent deterioration.
  • Monitor: Item to be kept under review.

Important Clarification

A Compliance Audit does not replace statutory inspections, certifications, or the legal responsibilities of property owners or appointed duty holders. It provides documented oversight to help demonstrate that reasonable steps have been taken to identify and manage risk.
