In a ranking of the best places in the UK to invest in a holiday let, Blaenau Gwent in South East Wales tops the list, according to a new report from Sykes Holiday Cottages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With house price growth currently at 12% year on year, and an average revenue potential of almost \u00a320,000 per year, the county borough offers excellent long-term potential for anyone looking to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denbighshire and Rhondda Cynon Taf follow closely behind in the new ranking, while the leading areas in England which feature on the list include Tyne & Wear and Lancashire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Isle of Bute in Scotland came in fourth. The easily accessible island was the only area in Scotland to make it into the top ten, but both Fife and Dumfriesshire weren\u2019t far behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Holiday Let Outlook Report 2022 analyses Sykes Holiday Cottages\u2019 revenue data, alongside current house prices and house price growth, to drill into the long-term investment potential of holiday letting across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location and amenities are two of the most important factors in a holiday home\u2019s success, so within the regions listed, any property must also be in a good location and offer desirable facilities to strengthen the investment potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also contains consumer research, Sykes\u2019 booking figures and insights from rental data and analytics company AirDNA, to paint a clear picture of the UK\u2019s holiday let market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the poll of UK holiday homeowners commissioned for the report, 25% only started letting during the pandemic, with the staycation boom fuelling a rise in second homeowners and investors entering the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the sector continues to go from strength to strength, with bookings for Sykes\u2019 holiday lets in 2022 up 35% compared to pre-pandemic levels \u2013 a number that is expected to jump even further as we approach the summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consumer research found that 84% of holiday let owners say bookings for 2022 are stronger than ever, with the same number confident the trend will continue to grow over the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also highlights that, compared to the same period in 2021, Sykes has seen new owner enquiries from prospective holiday home investors almost double, increasing by 78% in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a rise in holidaying at home, Sykes\u2019 report reveals the average holiday let owner earned \u00a328,000 in revenue from their holiday let last year, up from \u00a321,000 in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those weighing up where to invest in the short-term, Cumbria and the Lake District topped the highest-earning holiday hotspots list according to Sykes\u2019 revenue figures, with holiday lets earning an average revenue of \u00a344,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devon and Dorset follow closely behind as top-earning regions, with an average annual income of \u00a335,000 and \u00a332,000 respectively, while the Peak District lost its top spot, falling down to fourth place overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those looking to maximise the revenue potential of their holiday lets, Sykes\u2019 analysis found that a hot tub is the leading money-boosting feature they could have \u2013 adding an estimated 49% to annual revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Income figures also suggest luxury amenities such as open fires could boost earnings by 19% on average, while a rise in pet ownership fuelled by the pandemic has seen pet-friendly properties now earn 9% more, on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham Donoghue, chief executive officer of Sykes Holiday Cottages, comments: \u201cThe shift towards staycations had already begun pre-pandemic, Covid has just accelerated this trend. And although international travel is becoming easier, we now have new types of staycationers that are here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe figures speak for themselves \u2013 bookings so far this year are up 35% compared with 2019 and the average income of a holiday let owner grew by almost the same amount last year versus 2019 \u2013 demonstrating the incredible investment potential that holiday letting can bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds: \u201cWith the UK travel sector flourishing, this will continue to have a positive impact on the economies throughout the country that rely on tourism, particularly in coastal and countryside regions. In fact, nine in 10 holiday let owners we surveyed think that tourism strongly benefits the local areas around their holiday homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
