What the business needs
These are investigation prompts, not universal legal minimums. Requirement and planning details depend on the UK nation, council, site and precise commercial activity.
Separate accommodation
What actually exists: a lawful dwelling, annexe, outbuilding or proposed conversion?
Guest independence
Is there safe separate access, parking, fire provision and adequate utilities?
Lawful letting position
What planning, title, mortgage, insurance, safety, registration or licensing requirements apply?
Comparable paid stays
What evidence exists for year-round rates, competing stays and seasonal occupancy?
Real net income
Include turnover days, cleaning, agent fees, taxes, maintenance, voids and finance costs.
What could stop this?
Existing accommodation is not proof that commercial letting is permitted. Confirm title, planning, lender, lease, safety, licensing and local restrictions.
Physical fit is not commercial-use approval. Ask the local planning authority and qualified advisers about permitted use, title, safety and obligations before relying on any proposed business model.
Currently recorded properties
Only active, publicly recorded homes with a separately sourced, dated business-use assessment appear here. These are investigation leads, never certified viable businesses.
No evidenced property assessments yet.
We don't turn every empty field into a supposed Holiday lets and annexes opportunity. Browse the wider property index, and investigate individual sites.
Test your own numbers
This break-even worksheet uses your assumptions only. It estimates monthly paid units (nights) required to cover entered monthly fixed costs and an even recovery of start-up spend. It is not a demand forecast, occupancy prediction or investment recommendation.
