Have you ever considered buying your own holiday home? Renting accommodation every time you travel can cost a fair bit, especially if you like to regularly escape the hustle and bustle of a city and get away to the countryside.
It may seem a big investment to purchase a second property but in fact you could earn a second income from subletting the lodge when it is empty. That’s why more and more Brits are realising the potential of buying a holiday home in the Lakes!
Whether you are a couple, an individual, or a big family with kids, there are many great reasons why a holiday home is a wise asset.
- Great for finances
There are many lodges for sale in Lake District but if you pick the right area, you could earn good money. Many parks rent them out at 80% occupancy rates, which means as the owner you get a great rental income. When you aren’t using the home yourself, sublet it and earn up to £16,000 a year.
- Quick and easy
We’ve all been there and done it- spent hours searching the web for the perfect accommodation. Whether it is a grand hotel in Windermere or a cheap B&B in Kendal, you can waste hours looking for somewhere to stay.
However, if you own your own holiday home, you’ll never have to spend another minute looking for accommodation and you can have as many people as you like stay over. Better still, accommodation rates often increase in busy periods like the summer but this will not affect you.
- Maintenance-free
Many people claim that holiday lodges are costly to maintain but in fact, this couldn’t be more wrong. Yes, like your own home, they require some upkeep to keep it in good shape but this is no more expensive than any other property. You’ll find that most lodges are designed to be weatherproof so they can withstand the Lake District’s elements.
- Know what you are getting, every time
Nothing is worse than booking a delightful B&B in Windermere, only to find upon arrival that it is a bitter disappointment. Some accommodations can be deceiving in the pictures that they post online however, the beauty of owning your own lodge is that it will never let you down.
- Visit time and time again
The Lakes are simply breathtaking and there are hundreds of fun things to do and see throughout the year. Is it any wonder why the region is a major tourism hotspot for UK and overseas visitors?
Over 15 million people flock to the Lakes every single year to breathe in the fresh air and relax; and the best bit is that you can visit as often as you like without the worry of accommodation costs. If you love the Lakes, you can return time and time again.
There you have it- 5 great reasons why you simply have to buy a holiday home in the region. Only one question remains, what are you waiting for?
