Investment Overview

56 Constitution Hill Road has already demonstrated strong performance as a holiday let, generating £46,857 in its first year to 31/10/25. This figure reflects a winter 2024/25 tenancy and the first full 2025 AirBnB season, calculated after AirBnB fees but before local management costs.

At a guide price of £625,000, this equates to an approximate gross yield of 7.5%, representing an attractive return for a well located, low maintenance property within this price bracket. The current AirBnB agent has indicated there is clear scope to increase revenue further for the 2026 season with a forecast of £52,300 this year, supported by positive guest feedback and growing booking momentum.

For investors preferring a traditional tenancy model, we would anticipate a long term rental figure in the region of £2,200 per calendar month, providing an alternative stable income stream.
