Short Term Rentals are very popular especially for seasonal events. They can be lucrative for landlords and provide flexibility. Intended to be a ‘home from home’ bills are usually included and everything will be provided by the landlord so the tenant just arrives with the bare essentials.
From large country homes to annexes and apartments a short term rental can be let out for a one month to six month period (subject to required consents).
The Polo season sees demand from May-September specifically in West Sussex near the Cowdray Park Estate, ‘Home of British Polo’ with 400 matches played and demand from both players and spectators for a place to rent during the period.
The Sailing season runs from March to November, peaking in the summer months with activity focussed around The Solent and demand for rentals driven again by participants and spectators.
The fishing season is usually from June to March bringing a demand for short term accommodation in the Itchen, Test and Meon Valleys. These areas are also popular for a variety of other country sports, each with their own seasons and need for short term accommodation.
If you have a cottage or annexe in your grounds or are planning to go away for an extended period then a short term rental may be a lucrative option.
