Helpful Holidays
Guide to Holiday Letting event
The recent owner event held by Chagford-based Helpful Holidays, entitled ‘Guide to Holiday Letting’, took place on 22 February at The Devon Hotel in Exeter.
Attended by over 70 people, the evening was dedicated to anyone with an interest in the holiday letting industry. Free to attend, those present enjoyed a host of informative talks from Helpful Holidays, as well as estate agent Stags and Zeal tax specialists. Topics included hints and tips on the letting market, and advice on setting your self-catering property up to achieve optimum success in 2024.
Emily Mercer, South West Marketing Manager, said “It was wonderful to share our latest statistics on market trends and booking patterns, as well as our advice on the recent self-catering legislation changes. We hope the information provided and knowledge shared will help experienced, new and prospective owners to ensure their property reaches its full booking and income potential this season.”
In addition to the presentations, guests were also treated to a free copy of Helpful Holidays’ Market Insights Report; a document created especially for the event, filled with information and useful data on the market at present.
Emily adds: “We are currently seeing customer demand on a par with the fantastic pre-Covid levels we enjoyed in 2019. As such, we are continually expanding our portfolio of properties to accommodate those looking to visit the South West. For owners thinking of letting, now is a fantastic time to take this next step”.
Following the presentations, attendees enjoyed a complementary buffet, plus the chance to network with a host of industry specialists exhibiting at the evening. These included Stags, Tozers, Philip Meek Mortgages, Boshers, Zeal, the CLA and Hydro Life Hot Tubs.
