Buying Property for Serviced Accommodation

Choosing a property that actually performs as a short let

This book is for operators who already understand short lets and are ready to own the building underneath the business. It explains the strategy of buying a self-contained property, furnishing it to a standard guests will pay for and letting it by the night or week to visitors, contractors, relocating families and business travellers. It is frank that ownership changes the stakes: the wrong purchase is far harder to undo than the wrong rented agreement, and a mortgage does not care how the market has turned. An honest self-assessment is followed by the four moving parts of the ownership model, what you genuinely need to begin, and a thirty-day plan to build the foundation for a sound purchase. The book closes with the five most expensive mistakes buyers make and the forecasting question you must answer next. Next in this series: “RevPAR, Seasonality and Honest Forecasting”.
