Buying a holiday home is one of the most exciting things you can do! Finding that perfect escape for you and your family, knowing that you’ll get to holiday whenever you choose and as often you want to, what could be better?
There are a few things to think about when buying a holiday home in the UK, from the location to the cost, so we thought we would put them all in one place and create a handy checklist for you.
the location
This is probably the most important thing to settle on, where in the UK is your perfect holiday break? How far do you want to travel from your home? Are you looking for a holiday home by the beach or a countryside escape?
Finding the right destination for you is key, making sure the local area has everything you want to explore and can discover. Sandy beaches to unwind on or glorious mountains for adventure seekers to scale, the UK is filled with exciting landscapes waiting for you.
the resort
When it comes to choosing a resort that’s right for you, there are lots of things to think about and making sure it’s right for you. We’ve got the key ones below.
How long is the season? Can you holiday whenever you choose, or is there a limit to a number of weeks per year? What facilities are there for you to enjoy on your holiday breaks? Is it pet friendly if you have a pooch to come too? Are you looking for a family friendly destination or a peaceful escape to explore together?
