Holiday properties as an investment

A market that was long reserved for insiders

The economic potential of holiday properties was for a long time primarily known to people who live in the immediate vicinity of these markets or are professionally active there. They are familiar with local demand, seasonal trends, and rental structures.

A perspective that many buyers don't initially see

Holiday properties are often viewed from a personal perspective. You travel to a place, discover a special landscape or a vibrant old town, and can easily imagine returning regularly. The thought of owning a property often arises intuitively – as an extension of one's own lifestyle.

Short and medium-term rentals as a factor for returns

Holiday properties open up a different rental model than classic residential properties. They are generally used for short or medium-term rentals, for example, through seasonal lets or limited stays. This entirely depends on the property's existing licences, whether short or medium-term rentals are permitted.

This creates higher income potential per year compared to long-term rental agreements. At the same time, this creates a different starting point for owners: as there is no permanent rental, neither legal nor ethical conflicts arise with long-term tenants.

High returns can therefore be achieved in established holiday regions.

Consider the investment consciously

When buyers regularly visit a region, identify with the location, and the place suits their leisure activities, it can be sensible to take the next step: comparing the potential purchase price of a property with realistic rental yields. Besthomes would be happy to support you in taking this next step.

This creates a clearer picture of the investment

A holiday property can combine two functions – as a personal retreat and as a property that is economically viable.

Besthomez focuses on existing properties in established holiday regions and works with local partners who have in-depth knowledge of the respective market, oversee the purchase, and ultimately handle property management.

This combination of local knowledge, demand analysis, and careful selection makes it possible to identify properties where location, use, and economic potential are a long-term match.
