Buying guide to beds

Bedsteads and mattresses will be one of the more expensive furnishing items in your holiday short let property.

We recommend frame style bedsteads which are raised from the floor. This makes cleaning floor areas under the bed a lot easier. Divan style beds usually require a valance or more decoration which will increase your preparation time. The choice is endless but the main considerations are wood or metal frame, veneer or solid wood and of course style.

Holiday home insurance

When choosing insurance for your holiday home, make sure that your policy covers commercial holiday lettings and not just family use. As well as building and contents insurance you will need public liability insurance; giving you protection in the event of any legal issues associated with holiday lettings.

Holiday home insurance is a different product to usual lettings insurance and there are several companies who offer cover specifically for holiday homes.

To benefit from the various tax advantages of holiday letting your property, it is essential that you keep up to date with Tax rules and regulations. It is useful to have a knowledgeable accountant who knows the regulations specific to holiday lettings. You can find HMRC tax advice on the DirectGov website.
