Overseas Property Rental Returns

 

Tips and advice on how to get the best return from your holiday home

 

Some 24 million Britons are considering buying a property overseas, according to research, yet on average most people spend just two weeks a year in their foreign homes.

Of this number, it is estimated that only 15% would consider renting out their holiday home when it's not in use, meaning that millions of people are wasting the opportunity to make their overseas property pay its way.

A recent report pinpointed a growing trend among holidaymakers for booking holiday homes direct through the owners.

Nearly a quarter of all foreign breaks taken by Britons last year were spent in private homes.

Among these, 60% of them booked online through the owners, with websites.

The top five spots for rental demand...

1. France: 126%

2. Spain: 113%

3. Turkey 83%

4. Bulgaria 76%

5. Cyprus 61%

The most important factor in making a successful rental enterprise from your holiday home, is to know your market. While older clients may prefer character properties with traditional features, young families may prefer more contemporary designs with easy access for pushchairs etc.

Overall, it is essential to make sure that your holiday home appeals to the tourist market in the area.
