Can you break-even or better still make a profit holiday letting out your property.

Its important to know that renting your property out will at least break-even or better provide you with a profit.

If you do this calculation it will help you establish your break-even point.

If your monthly mortgage payment is less than or equal to
1 peak-week rental rate and you rent approximately 17 weeks
a year, your property should come close to breaking even. Most holiday rental markets average 12 peak weeks. Other costs (e.g. gas & electric bills or taxes) are paid by earnings from approximately 5 weeks of off-peak rentals.

EXAMPLE: If you own a property with a monthly mortgage of £1000 and rent your home for £1000 per week in peak season, you’d only need to rent 12 weeks to break even on your mortgage payments.
