Furnished holiday lettings, EPC and safety requirements
The abolition of the Furnished Holiday Lettings tax regime from April 2025 changed the economics for Cumbrian owners, and lets still need gas safety certificates, electrical safety checks, a fire risk assessment and an EPC. Lake District National Park planning attitudes to short-term lets are also tightening — accurate, current content on this is genuinely useful and rarely published well by competitors.

- JanPeak booking research for the year ahead; the pages must already be ranking.
- Feb–AprEaster and half-term short-lead bookings, plus owner searches for management and marketing help.
- Oct–DecChristmas, New Year and winter-break demand, now a serious secondary season.

For holiday cottages & lets, that usually means fewer, better pages targeted at the jobs you actually want, rather than broad traffic that never converts.
How do you tailor creative services to holiday cottages & lets?
By using your own service, pricing and compliance detail as the raw material. Local guide content: walks, pubs, wet-weather days, dog-friendly spots That specificity is what separates a page that ranks from one that reads like every competitor's.

Cumbria in depth plus twenty UK cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol. Each location gets its own page, so you appear in the map packs that matter instead of one generic service area.

Often a refresh. If your logo and colours are recognisable locally, we keep the equity and modernise the system around it. Full rebrands are for new directions or genuinely dated identities.
Who owns the artwork?
You do, outright. Source files, fonts where licensed, and full usage rights are handed over with every project.
Can you design for print as well as digital?
Yes — signage, vehicle livery, brochures, packaging and exhibition banners are all in scope, and we can brief local Cumbrian printers directly.
