A new survey has come to light showing that holiday lettings generate higher returns than most other property assets, including buy-to-let – but having long-term tenants can provide some major advantages.<\/strong><\/p>\n The yields generated by letting out a holiday home were 1.1 percentage points higher than those made by buy-to-let<\/a> investors over the past year, according to research from Second Estates, topping the list of all other major real estate investments in terms of returns.<\/p>\n According to the statistics, the average owner of a holiday letting made \u00a3563 a week last year, while average buy-to-let landlords<\/a> made \u00a3191, which is nearly three times more income even when considering factors such as off-season prices and occupancy.<\/p>\n Average net yields reached 6.1% for holiday homes over the last 12 months, followed by student accommodation<\/a> which saw net yields of 5.25% on average. With forecasts showing an estimated total average return of 9.3% over the next five years for holiday lettings<\/a>, the asset class is one of the strongest in the market.<\/p>\n As a general rule, property investment<\/a> should be seen as a long-term project, rather than a way of making a lot of money in a short space of time. While the yields of holiday lettings may be enticing, there are a number of other factors to take into account that will affect the investment, and could mean that many investors are better off sticking with buy-to-let.<\/p>\n In conclusion, when looking at yields in isolation, according to the latest figures, holiday lettings are a great choice for investors. However, taking everything into consideration, many property investors may still be wiser to stick to the tried and tested buy-to-let market<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new survey has come to light showing that holiday lettings generate higher returns than most other property assets, including buy-to-let – but having long-term tenants can provide some major advantages.
