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

Fairly new to the UK, I’ve been listening to Property Hub’s Property Podcasts for the past 18 months or so. I’m a few weeks away from completing on a first property for me and my family to live in (which will enable me to access BTL products going forward). There’s been much talk, and I saw an article yesterday suggesting a stamp duty holiday soon, potentially (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12027543/rishi-sunak-stamp-duty-holiday-new-buyers/). Unsure whether the holiday will apply to everyone or not, worth noting is that I owned property previously (not in UK), so would not qualify if the holiday was only for first time buyers. Assuming I delayed completion and qualified for the stamp duty holiday, the amount in question represents a substantial portion towards a deposit for a BTL property. The impact is substantial! In short – do I delay completion and wait for the stamp duty holiday (so enabling me to purchase a BTL property), or watch a substantial chunk of money disappear into the ether?

Hi I’m hoping someone can help me. My my wife and I are buying a second home - a flat in London. My wife works 3 days in london, 2 days at home. She wants to use the flat for 2 nights a week, every week. We intend to do AirBNB let’s for the remaining days. My question: can we achieve this through an SPV ltd company? Specifically, are there mortgage products that allow the mortgage to “holiday let/short term let” and use it regularly for themselves? (Tipton BS just launched such a product but they don’t lend to ltd companies). Are there issues with the limited company allowing directors to reside? Can it be free or would a charge have to be made? Tax issues associated with this? We are also about to embark on becoming a landlord ourselves and are looking to purchase a number of properties through an SPV ltd company. Please note: We are aware of the 90 day holiday let restriction in London, and also the caveats to ensuring landlord consent to sub let on this basis. with thanks in advance.

What are peoples thoughts towards holiday lets as a property investment ? I have always fancied the idea of owning a holiday apartment for my family and close friends to benefit from. And also like the idea of letting the property out when I am not using it... I will hopefully soon be in a position to progress with this idea, as I have found a suitable property that is ideal for myself and family, but will also give me a 6% yield in holiday rental... Would be interested to hear if anyone else has a holiday let as part of their portfolio and how successful you have found it to be as an investment ?
