Property finder subscription
Find holiday-let properties that match your buying brief.
Tell Holiday Let Investor what you want to buy, save your preferences, then activate a monthly alert service for suitable UK holiday-let, Airbnb, lodge and serviced accommodation opportunities.
A search brief first, then alerts.
A useful property finder starts by understanding the buyer. The brief below captures budget, mortgage position, area preference, property type, target returns and deal-breakers before any property is scored.
What you get
A weekly property-finding workflow, not just another email list.
Alerts can be sent daily, weekly or priority-only depending on your brief and the available matching opportunities. Each alert is designed to help you decide whether to watch, reject or run a fuller deal report.
Matching opportunities
Suitable properties from configured public, curated or licensed sources where the listing evidence is available.
Deal screen
A suitability score, finance assumptions, estimated cashflow scenario and break-even occupancy prompt.
Risk notes
Planning, lease, service-charge, seasonality, running-cost and evidence gaps to check before viewing.
Saved shortlist
Keep matches, rejected properties, watching items and report candidates in one dashboard.

Three-bed coastal cottage, South Cornwall
Matched because it sits below the buyer budget, fits the target area, has parking and could work for family short breaks if the seasonal rates are evidenced.

Why it matched
- Within the buyer's £300k budget and close to the target Cornish coastal market.
- Three-bedroom cottage layout fits the sleeps and family-stay brief.
- Parking and outside space support peak-season guest appeal.
- Rate assumptions need checking against close bookable comparables before viewing.
Risks to check
- Planning, mortgage and title position not confirmed from the listing.
- Winter occupancy sensitivity is still the biggest cashflow risk.
- Cleaning, changeover and management costs need local quotes.
How the service works
Set your buying brief
Save budget, deposit, finance position, target areas, property types, return targets and red-line exclusions.
Search the market
The service can use configured public-market discovery, curated listings, or licensed listing APIs. It does not bypass restricted portals.
Score the deal
Shortlisted properties are screened against suitability, finance, costs, likely operational complexity and downside assumptions.
Send alerts
Matches can be sent as daily, weekly or priority-only alerts so buyers focus on properties worth deeper research.
API-ready, not portal scraping.
The alert runner can use OpenAI web-search discovery, curated Airtable listings or licensed property-data APIs when configured. It does not include code to bypass restricted portals or invent live listings.
