Hello all, I've listened to all of The Property Hub podcast and now a new forum member.
I am based in Kent but as a keen mountain biker spend some time in Wales, in particular Afan Forest.
I am interested in buying a property that requires a refurb close to the Afan Forest Mountain Bike Trail Centre with the hope to do it up and run it as a Holiday Let for mountain bikers and hikers. I was looking at smaller villages such as Cymmer, or possibly larger towns like Maesteg and Neath.
Putting Covid to one side, my hesitation is that bookings will be much slower during the winter months and during the week year round, does anyone have experience doing a similar thing in the area?
I was also thinking Port Talbot might be a safer option as it’s still close to Afan but has the additional advantage of being a larger town with the beach and promenade with good Buy To Let fundamentals, meaning it could provide a plan B option if the bookings aren’t steady enough?
Any insights, recommendations, or thoughts are welcomed!
Thank you,
Ryan
