Maximise your Holiday Let returns with SDLT relief planning
What if you could reduce your SDLT bill by thousands?
When purchasing furnished holiday lets (FHLs) or holiday cottage portfolios, investors are often charged SDLT at the higher residential rates, including the 3% surcharge. But here's the truth:
-
You may not need to pay the higher rates.
-
Your purchase may qualify for SDLT reliefs designed for commercial or mixed-use property.
-
Smart structuring can unlock thousands in savings.
How it applies to Holiday Lets
Buying 2+ cottages? You could claim MDR to lower your effective SDLT rate.
If part of the property has a commercial element (e.g. reception, shop, cafe), it may be taxed at non-residential rates (flat 5%).
In some cases, HMRC may treat holiday lets as business assets, not residential homes - especially with on-site services or staff.
