Since the global pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, holidaying to sunnier climbs has recently been re-evaluated by us Brits. Hilton’s 2022 Trends report showed that last year, 77% of contributors said spending time with their family was the most important thing to them post-covid, with holidaymakers going on an average of three trips in 2022, 49% of travellers taking their kids, 46% with partners, 23% with parents and 11% with grandparents. This trend looks to be here for a few years due to the ongoing high cost of living, as many families may not be able to afford an international trip this year. 

On average, in 2022, there were 7,000 monthly Google searches for ‘cheap holidays’, showing a clear desire for affordable getaways. With that in mind, in 2023, it is predicted that those who go on their holidays will be looking to save costs in other areas to make their trips more affordable overall. 

However, for some, the pandemic was seen as an opportunity to explore the possibility of purchasing a second or holiday home. It is estimated that an impressive 772,000 households own a second home or holiday home in the UK, according to the English Housing Survey, a rise of 40% in the past three years. Pretty impressive, right?

Keep your holiday home safe through the seasons

Owning a holiday home is a great way to generate a passive income and spend quality time with family and friends but it doesn’t come without its headaches. When it comes to the upkeep of any second property, the list can be quite comprehensive regarding keeping the property in order; you need to consider any renovations and repairs, cleaning, and maintenance, and especially keeping it safe and secure when it isn’t being lived in or occupied for any specified period.

Keeping safe and secure

Leaving your home vacant for long periods during the low season or over winter months can be a worry especially if it is in an idyllic/remote location, it can leave your property vulnerable to potential thieves.  Ensuring peace of mind that your property is secure is paramount whether it’s a holiday park home, flat or house. 

In most cases, simple precautions can be enough to keep your property safe through the winter. Ensuring all doors and windows are locked, cancelling any regular deliveries, alerting the local neighbourhood watch, turning the water off, and unplugging appliances are usually sufficient to keep your property safe and sound until the holiday season.

Unfortunately, these are only sometimes completed or thought of, especially when letting it out to short-term tenants or Airbnb guests.
