What makes a successful Suffolk holiday let?
With more than 20 years’ experience of buying, renovating and letting Suffolk holiday homes, SCC founder Alex Tarry has seen what makes a successful Suffolk holiday let. We caught up with Alex and Operations Manager Luke Whitney to talk about what really makes a property work.
“There isn’t one formula. Every property is different. Understanding its strengths, its location and the guests it’s likely to appeal to is where it starts.”
– Luke, SCC
Does location determine how successful a holiday let can be?
Luke: “Not necessarily. Suffolk’s coast will always be incredibly popular, but countryside properties can perform brilliantly too. It’s about understanding the individual property and its potential.”
What do holiday let owners tend to underestimate?
Alex: “The final 5%. They’re often relatively small decisions, but after 20 years you learn which details really matter.”
Is there more to holiday letting than owners might expect?
Luke: “Definitely. There’s the property itself, compliance, day-to-day management, marketing and the guest experience. Successful holiday letting is about getting all of those elements working together.”
