Let with Us

Holiday lets typically generate significantly higher income than long-term rentals. Because guests pay a nightly or weekly rate, total annual income can be two to three times greater — particularly in popular tourist destinations or during peak seasons. Owners can also adjust pricing dynamically to capitalise on school holidays, local events, and high-demand periods.

The UK tax position for holiday lets changed significantly in April 2025, so some of the tax advantages you may have heard about no longer apply. Depending on your property and letting activity, your holiday let may qualify for business rates rather than Council Tax, with some properties potentially eligible for Small Business Rate Relief. We recommend speaking with a qualified tax adviser to understand the position for your individual property.

One of the biggest advantages is the ability to block out dates for personal use. Owners can enjoy the property themselves, lend it to family, or keep it available during quiet periods — something impossible with a standard tenancy. This makes holiday letting ideal for properties that owners also want to use as a second home or retreat.

Our full holiday let management service is designed to take the day-to-day work and stress out of running your holiday property, giving you peace of mind that both your home and your guests are being well looked after.

We can take care of everything from professional marketing and managing bookings to guest communication, damage deposits and ongoing property maintenance. We also coordinate changeovers, including fresh linen and towels, and ensure essential guest replenishments are ready for each new arrival.

Throughout each stay, we’re on hand to support guests and help resolve any issues that may arise. We can also coordinate maintenance and repairs when required, helping to keep your property presented to a high standard.

With Hostsmart managing the details, you can enjoy the benefits of your holiday let without having to manage every booking, changeover and guest request yourself.
