Built for UK holiday-let buyers

Focused on cottages, lodges, serviced accommodation and short-stay properties where seasonality matters.

Costs, mortgage and agency fees

Include cleaning, platform fees, management, utilities, insurance, maintenance and finance assumptions.

Best/base/worst-case scenarios

Stress-test a property before you rely on a single optimistic annual income figure.

Spot weak deals early

Estimate break-even occupancy, net cashflow and cash-on-cash return before making an offer.

Illustrative example

See the moving parts before they surprise you.

A good-looking gross revenue figure can hide high operating costs, cleaning losses, finance costs or a fragile break-even point. The calculator keeps each assumption visible.

Deal quality checks

Better than a single optimistic revenue estimate.

A holiday let can look attractive on gross bookings and still be weak after finance, management, cleaning, setup and maintenance. The site is designed to make the fragile assumptions visible early.
