Renting in Forest of Dean: what to know
Many rural homes in the Forest of Dean are off the mains gas grid and use oil, LPG or electric heating. LPG appliances still need an annual landlord gas safety check by a Gas Safe engineer; oil-fired systems are not covered by gas safety rules but should be serviced by a competent (e.g. OFTEC) technician. Off-grid homes often have lower EPC ratings, worth planning for early.
