Research the holiday let landscape<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To start, you’ll need to research the property market in your desired location. In doing so, you\u2019ll also want to assess the demand for holiday accommodation, popular attractions, rates, and local regulations or restrictions that may apply to holiday letting.<\/p>\n

At Lyme Bay Holidays, we can recommend top locations to buy a holiday let in the area. With over 300 owners, we know everything you need to get started on your holiday let journey.<\/p>\n

\n

Choose a suitable property<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you have identified a property for holiday letting, at Lyme Bay Holidays we can support with your application (if it\u2019s a new property) by providing a mortgage letter.<\/p>\n

If the property is one you already own or have inherited, the Lyme Bay Holidays Property Consultants can visit and let you know of any recommendations.<\/p>\n

During this time, you can also obtain a pricing appraisal which gives an estimate of income you could expect from holiday letting your property.<\/p>\n

\n

Choose holiday let management level<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the most important decisions will be how you manage your holiday let. You may wish to self-manage however, there are many benefits to an agency such as ourselves looking after everything for you.<\/p>\n

At Lyme Bay Holidays, we provide various levels of holiday let management from marketing through to fully managed. Read about holiday let management with Lyme Bay Holidays here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Furnishing and features<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you have the keys to your property, you\u2019ll want to think about furnishing. Think practicality and little touches. You\u2019ll want to invest in durable but comfortable furniture of a high standard.<\/p>\n

Features wise, you may wish to consider a hot tub or allowing pets into the property. Holiday lets that have additional features tend to do better on bookings.<\/p>\n

Wi-Fi is essential in this day and age, so you\u2019ll need a decent connection, expected by your guests.<\/p>\n

\n

Welcome packs and information<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When welcoming guests to your holiday let, they will have likely had a journey to get there so a welcome pack is a great idea. This could include local teas, coffee, biscuits, milk and more.<\/p>\n

Providing up to date information on where to eat, shop, pharmacy and top restaurants in the area will also be greatly appreciated by your guests.<\/p>\n
