Anyone have a holiday home ? UK only. National Parks areas or thereabouts.
Wondering on the pros and cons.
Would be bought outright and only 'loaned' to friends and family for a nominal rent now and then.
I am thinking about:
council tax (may rise according to change of governments)
insurance (not occupied full time)
re-selling (some properties are very slow to shift)
Did you get tired of going to the same place?
How far is a sensible driving distance? (We could easily fund properties 4 hrs away, less choice within a 2-3 hour drive.)
Are they more hassle than they are worth?
We'd be semi retired so could use it for more than just weekends.
