Are Traditional Holiday Homes a Thing of the Past?

Are traditional holiday homes about to become a thing of the past? Times change, people change, the nature of investments change and certainly the overseas property investment industry is changing in light of the current financial climate!

"Buying a traditional holiday home overseas has often been regarded as a luxury lifestyle decision that was once limited to the rich and famous but in previous decades has almost become par for the course for many. However a changing world and stricter financial regulation has meant that this is not an option open to everyone, in fact it is an expensive time consuming business with often little reward. Therein lied the predicament; people wanted assured investments combining capital appreciation and high rental yield but still wanted access to their own holiday home. This led rise to the newest form of investment in the European market, but one which had proved itself over and over again in the USA. Buy-to-let apart-hotels and hotel rooms have now made a major impact on the overseas property industry and they look certain to establish themselves as the most popular form of investment for many years to come especially in light of the busy, cluttered, time consuming and expensive world we live in.

The question an investor needs to ask themselves is 'How many weeks a year am I looking to use my holiday home / apart-hotel?' If the answer is under 60 days, then buy-to-let is the obvious choice financially. An apart-hotel is fully managed, there is no upkeep required from the owner and the facilities for both owners and guests are in situ. If the location is good then hotel occupancy will be high and high occupancy equals higher financial rewards. Compared to an often redundant holiday home left unattended for many months of the year, it is not difficult to see why apart-hotels are proving evermore popular."

Nest Hotels are in the heart of the German financial district. Home to some 170 hotels, totalling over 24,000 beds, this financial metropolis boasts an 80% hotel room occupancy which is growing year on year.

Nest Hotel in Frankfurt comes to the market at 30% below market value with a return on investment anticipated to be at least 15% per annum. Its central location, superb transport links, and demand from both business and tourists, coupled with such a low entry price at below market value means that all of the ingredients are in place to make this one of the best investment opportunities in the European theatre.

Prices at Nest Hotel Frankfurt start from just 60,000 with interest free 5 year developer finance available, and because the developer is so confident of the potential returns, these hotel rooms can be secured with just a 50% payment with the remainder of the finance coming directly from income generated which means no more to pay! Additionally this investment has been approved suitable for a SIPP making it extremely tax efficient.
