| Property | Purchase price | Annual gross rent* | Gross yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bridge End Mill | £122,500 | £15,925 | 13% |
| Eden Grove | £270,000 | £27,000 | 10% |
| The Swell | £270,000 | £27,000 | 10% |
*Annual gross rent is calculated from the purchase price × the seller-supplied gross yield. All 3 projections use 50% occupancy. These are projected rental figures before running costs, finance and tax, not guaranteed returns.
The 10-13% gross yields above give you the starting point. The property’s running costs show how much of that rent you keep.
Bridge End Mill’s £122,500 price and 13% gross yield imply £15,925 a year in gross rent, at the seller’s 50% occupancy. For a property with trading history, booking statements also show what it earned and when.
Management and booking fees, cleaning, laundry, utilities, insurance and repairs come out of that rent. The property’s cost breakdown also needs to include replacement furniture and any service charge or ground rent.
Legal work, surveys, furnishing and purchase taxes add to the cost of buying. Keeping these separate from annual running costs makes the comparison clearer. Mortgage costs and your own tax position also affect what you keep.
The seller’s projections already use 50% occupancy. The next detail is how bookings and nightly rates vary across the year, including any weeks you want to use yourself. Our guide to buying a holiday let explains what to compare.
Ask your consultant for the income projection and running-cost breakdown for the property you like. You can then compare the annual rent, expenses and purchase budget side by side.

Being fairly new to property investment the information and support i have had from Robert and the team at Property Investments UK has been invaluable. It is so easy to make costly mistakes when starting out so their experience and guidance has been fantastic.
Our partners source holiday cottages and apartments, including refurbished conversions and new-build developments. The holiday rentals for sale shown above are fully managed, so you can own the property without handling each guest booking yourself.
The properties above are Eden Grove in Cumbria; Bridge End Mill in Settle, Yorkshire Dales; The Swell in Rhosneigr. Our partners look for visitor demand beyond the summer holidays, including weekend breaks and stays outside the school holidays. For a wider comparison, explore the best areas to buy a holiday let in the UK.
Requirements depend on the location and the property. Our partners source established holiday lets with the relevant planning, licensing and leasehold requirements in place. The documents for the particular unit matter: permission for one property does not establish permission for another. Scotland, for example, has a short-term let licensing scheme. Your solicitor can check the permissions, any lease restrictions and whether a fresh licence is needed when ownership changes. Scotland’s short-term let licensing guidance.
A holiday let earns rent from booked nights, while a traditional buy-to-let is usually let to a tenant paying monthly. The seller's 10-13% gross-yield calculations for the properties above use 50% occupancy, equivalent to half the nights in a year. They already allow for nights without guests. The income also depends on the nightly rate: a booked week in August and a booked week in November can earn different amounts.
Gross yield is annual rental income divided by the purchase price, multiplied by 100. For example, Bridge End Mill's £122,500 price and 13% gross yield imply £15,925 in annual gross rent, using the seller's 50% occupancy calculation. Running costs, finance and tax are separate from that figure.
Yes, some of the properties our partners source have an established letting history. If you are looking for holiday cottages to buy with existing bookings, your consultant can confirm which properties have trading records and whether future bookings transfer with the sale. Those records show the rent earned, nights booked and quieter periods, alongside any projections for the coming year.
Yes. The properties shown are offered fully managed. Your consultant can explain who handles bookings, guest arrivals, cleaning and maintenance for each property, together with the management fees. You can then see what is included in the service and which costs are paid separately.
The main difference from a standard buy-to-let is that you normally pay the utility bills and arrange cleaning and laundry between guest stays. A month with several short bookings creates more changeovers than one longer booking, so the number of stays matters as well as the number of nights let. Your consultant can provide the property's cost breakdown, showing what is included in management fees and what is charged separately, with historic trading figures where available.
Yes, personal use can be part of holiday-let ownership. The letting agreement and any mortgage terms determine what is allowed for your particular property. A summer week kept for yourself is also a week you cannot offer to paying guests, so your consultant can show how owner use fits into the booking calendar and income projection.
Our property sourcing partner, Residential Estates, will discuss your budget, preferred locations and the type of property you are looking for. They can provide current availability, property details and the income and management information for relevant opportunities. An enquiry does not commit you to a purchase.
