Are Holiday Buy to Lets a good investment or a waste of your time?

Lets meet our Guests...

This week we have something special & different… Two very experienced coastal agents that can almost call themselves ā€˜locals’ in the beautiful town of Brixham, South Devon. Jamie spent his childhood on the local beaches and enjoyed the many outdoor pursuits Devon has to offer, after moving to London for a period of time & continuing to work in property, Jamie realised that Devon was his true home an decided to launch Salt Water Escapes offering beautiful holiday cottages & apartments in Brixham and across South Devon… and we also have the amazing Chris Mitchell, Director of Absolute Sales & lettings who works very closely with Jamie & has almost 2 decades of experience in property.

The Podcast

Having been in property for years and owning Holiday lets themselves, there are no better guests to have on the show than Jamie & Chris. After a number of requests from our listeners and just in time for summer, this episode is definitely worth a listen!

We delve deep into the Holiday Buy to let market, asking the following questions:

  • What is the ROI with a holiday let?
  • If someone was looking to invest in their first holiday let but didn't know where to start...what are you advising people?
  • What is the best holiday let to go for & the typical price?
  • What kind of occupancy rate are you seeing throughout the year?
  • Average stay period and do you see much wear and tear?
  • Is there much appliance to adhere too?
  • And finally, how much would it cost a Landlord to use your services?

Many people like you get stuck in that ā€œalmost readyā€ stage. You want to move, you’ve registered with agents, you might even have seen some dream homes online… but your current property still isn’t on the market.

You might be Googling things like: • ā€œWhat should my estate agent be doing to sell my house?ā€ • ā€œHouse on Rightmove but no viewingsā€ • ā€œHow do I change estate agents if I’m not happy?ā€ And here’s what I’d say to your agent, the things I know sellers are thinking but don’t always say out loud.

If you listened to the doom merchants, you would think first-time buyers (FTB) in Stevenage had no chance at all. According to the loudest voices, buying a first home is impossible, the ladder has been pulled up, and the only people who buy their first homes today are lottery winners or those with wealthy parents.

Your mortgage is likely the biggest bill you’ll ever have to pay. Whether you’ve been paying it for years or only recently moved in, it’s worth asking yourself: what would happen to my home if I couldn’t work or earn an income?
