When looking to buy a property with a view to running a self-catering holiday let, there’s lots to think about. From the types of properties to look for to what makes a hot spot, Lindmere has brought together everything to consider when buying the ideal holiday home.
- Type Of Market
When starting the holiday property journey, one of the first things to consider is the type of market.
One of the fundamental decisions lies between operating a traditional holiday let or a serviced accommodation set up, with the choice hinging on the location an individual is looking into and the needs of the travellers they’re aiming to attract. For instance, if they’re eyeing a picturesque countryside or seaside destination, a holiday let is probably the right choice, catering to people looking for a home-away-from-home experience. However, a holiday let in a built-up city area would be more suited to serviced accommodation, as they attract a different clientele, such as business travellers, conference attendees, or people needing temporary housing. Understanding the local market and identifying the right client base are vital steps in ensuring the success of a holiday let venture.
- Location
One of the main things to consider when looking for a property is its location. Picture a holiday let, not just through the lens and atmosphere of its surroundings – whether that’s the whisper of seaside waves, the gentle caress of mountain mists, or the rhythmic hum of a city pulse – but also through its location and how that benefits the owner and its guests.
If an individual plans to personally manage their holiday home, living nearby is a must. This means quicker problem-solving and a personal touch that guests love. But if they are considering remote management, their chosen location should generate robust rental income. This allows them to employ a local caretaker or agency so guests experience a seamless service.
When looking into the surroundings, think about the target market and what they’ll be looking for. While carefully chosen rural homes can offer breathtaking views and nature-packed adventures, almost every holiday home still truly thrives when nestled close to amenities and attractions. Think of it as offering guests a retreat without travelling far to top up on essentials.
- Type Of Property
When considering properties for holiday lets, it’s good to be selective and evaluate the different types of properties available to make sure they fit with the personal vision and target market.
Traditional cottages in the countryside, city-centre apartments, coastal cabins, and historic townhouses all offer unique experiences for holidaymakers. The choice of property will impact the kind of guests an individual will attract – families, couples, solo travellers, or business individuals. Consider the maintenance, appeal, location, and potential returns each property type offers. Also, consider any legal or regulatory restrictions related to particular property types, such as listed buildings or properties in conservation areas.
