Holiday Let Deal Checklist

Download a practical pre-offer checklist for screening UK holiday-let, Airbnb, lodge and cottage opportunities before you spend money on detailed research.

A first-pass screen before you make an offer.

The checklist helps you organise the questions that usually decide whether a holiday-let deal is worth deeper analysis: seasonal demand, booked weeks, operating costs, finance, setup budget, permissions and break-even risk.

Got a property link already?

Use the checklist to collect evidence, then run the property through the deal checker for a first-pass score, downside scenario and red flags.

Next action before making an offer

Four checks before deeper research

Can the location support enough year-round or peak-season demand?

Do your nightly/weekly rates still work after platform, cleaning and management fees?

Does the break-even occupancy feel achievable before mortgage cost pressure?

Are permissions, lease terms, planning rules or site restrictions still unchecked?
