This might be a way ahead. The MEES regulations currently do not apply to holiday lets.
Edit: this is in England! sorry!
It's slightly complicated - if the situation meets the requirements of a holiday let, let for at least 20 weeks a year (HMRC requirement to qualify), landlord pays for energy, property fully furnished etc etc
I also didn't know until this evening that EPC figures are worked out in slightly different ways for England and Scotland, so the same property might end up with different EPC ratings depending on which country it's in!
