    What Is Classed As A Short Term Let?

    A short-term let is a rental agreement of under six months. Therein, most let's fall between 1 - 14 nights.

     

    The Benefits Of Short Term Letting

     

    Bigger profits

    Short-term letting enables property-owners to charge more than 50% higher rates than for longer-term lets.

    As such, in desirable destinations such as Lincoln, the high demand for short breaks, street parking and an ideal location close to the city centre means that short term letting can be really lucrative.

     

    More flexibility

    The flexibility of short-term letting enables property owners to let their premises at will.

    For example, you could rent your property on a weekly basis or sporadically to gain some extra income while away on holiday.

    Less risk

    Happily, short-term let's nullify the risks posed by bad tenants.

    More specifically, due to the short letting term, it's incredibly unlikely that a tenant will fall into arrears and, indeed, that they will refuse to vacate the premises at the end of an agreement.

     

    When Should You Consider Offering Short Term Lets?

    Thanks to Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle, and fantastic local nightlife, Lincoln's status as a city break destination is going from strength to strength.

    Thus, whether you have a one-bed apartment on Brayford Marina or a 4 bedroom period house in the sought-after Uphill area, there's never been a better time to enter Lincoln's short-term letting market.
