Short Lets - new build schemes branded as ideal for i...

A property consultancy selling rental units says there’s been exponential growth in the short-lets AirBnb-style rental market over recent months.

The yields are exceptionally high potentially ranging between 12 and 20 per cent, the consultancy claims.

Rayna Hunter, chief executive of LH1 Global, says: “Short term rental demand has risen in tandem with the everchanging modern lifestyle, which has seen more people looking for temporary accommodation rather than setting down roots.

“The demand now outstrips supply increasing short term rental prices rise and in turn delivering significant gross yields that is making this property type a very attractive proposition for investors. We’re excited to be marketing a number of high-quality homes across multiple developments that provide excellent short-term rentals.”

LH1 Global is currently marketing multiple properties across the UK that it claims are providing investors with high returns.

Merseyside

A centrally located development Centro on Merseyside is currently on the market, featuring a range of one-bedroom apartments priced between £70,250 to £89,750, offering investors gross yields averaging over 20 per cent.
