Income expectations, running costs and the rules that catch first-time UK holiday-let buyers out.
Be honest about income
Model income on realistic occupancy and off-season rates, not a sunny August week. Our holiday let income calculator is a sensible starting point.
Count every cost
Mortgage, insurance, cleaning, linen, utilities, maintenance and management all add up. The gap between gross and net is where many first-timers get surprised.
Plan to market direct from day one
A direct-booking site and a bit of local SEO mean you're not handing a platform a cut of every stay from the start.
