Being fairly new to property investment the information and support i have had from Robert and the team at Property Investments UK has been invaluable. It is so easy to make costly mistakes when starting out so their experience and guidance has been fantastic.
Our partners focus on areas with proven year-round visitor demand rather than purely seasonal locations, so if you are looking at where to buy a holiday home you can be sure the locations tick all the boxes for occupancy and demand. They include coastal areas like Bournemouth, rural destinations like Perth and historic cities like York. Sourcing is focused on finding locations that attract visitors throughout the year — from business travellers and short break tourists to families during school holidays. Your consultant will discuss which locations align with your investment goals and can handle the seasonality you're comfortable with.
This varies significantly by location. Some city councils will require Serviced Accommodation and Holiday Lets to have a change of planning use from a standard residential property if they are rented out for more than 180 days a year, and some councils have introduced licensing schemes. You may also have restrictions in some property leases if you buy a standard apartment or house that is a leasehold that was built only for owner occupiers. To ensure that any properties sourced fit the relevant regulations and planning at the time of the purchase, our partners make sure that they find established holiday lets that have the required planning, licensing and leasehold requirements in place. As with any rental strategy, laws and planning are subject to change, so it is important to check any local and national government changes for any property you are considering. We recommend budgeting for any licensing costs and staying informed about local authority changes, as owning a holiday home is an evolving area of regulation across the UK.
Holiday lets typically see occupancy rates between 60-80% in strong locations, compared to 95%+ for traditional buy-to-let. However, the nightly rates are significantly higher, which is why net yields can reach 12-16% in some lower value locations despite the void periods. Peak season properties might achieve 90%+ occupancy for 4-5 months but drop to 30-40% in quieter periods. Property investment companies will often try and target a balance of 70% occupancy across the year. Your consultant will provide realistic occupancy projections based on comparable properties in each location, helping you understand the income profile throughout the year.
Holiday lets have higher running costs than standard buy-to-let properties. You'll need to budget for utilities (which you cover, not the guest), professional cleaning between each stay (typically £40-80 per changeover), commercial insurance, platform fees, maintenance and repairs, property management and marketing costs. A well-run holiday let might see 40-50% of gross income going to running costs, compared to 20-30% for buy-to-let. Your consultant will provide detailed cost breakdowns for each property, and some have historic trading history so you know how previous years have performed.
Yes, one of the benefits of holiday let ownership is personal use. However, there are important considerations. If you're using mortgage finance, check your lender's terms regarding personal use. For tax purposes, any personal use days need to be recorded, as you cannot claim expenses for periods you occupy the property. Many investors find that 2-4 weeks personal use per year strikes a good balance between enjoying the property and maximising rental income during peak periods.
