If you’re lucky enough to be able to fund the purchase of a second home or holiday home, there are several legitimate letting services available to you, giving you the opportunity to rent out your second home when you’re not using it. Airbnb is one, with Vrbo hot on its heels, along with a multitude of local and regional services who will promote your home on their platforms. Of course, property owners can also take the lead and rent out their homes independently on Google.
The prevalence of those looking to holiday in the UK post-Covid, combined with the fear of more transport and airport strikes, mean that UK holiday lets are in high demand, making this a lucrative market for those who can capitalise. There’s also the age-old issue of ‘what do we do with the dog?’ with post-Covid dog ownership levels meaning more of us than ever own a four-legged friend, a UK-based holiday letting that allows pets is a sure-fire winner!
We have various properties currently listed for sale that are either currently used as a main home with additional accommodation to let out for income generation, as well as several that have been family or stand-alone holiday lets both past and present.
