Short Term Lets

Most of us associate short term lets with AirBnB. But holiday lets, villas and all kinds of serviced accommodation make this a much more diverse arena. Far from competing with hotels, there is increasing convergence with other hospitality sectors. How can landlords finance or switch to these kind of investments and what are the management challenges? What is the broader impact of this rapidly growing area on our communities and is existing regulation transparent, fair and adequate? Richard Blanco is joined by Fiona Veitch, Marketing Director from AirBnB partner and letting agent, Portico, Merilee Karr from the Short Term Accommodation Association and MD of Under The Doormat and Chris Poulter from the Serviced Accommodation Podcast.
