FAQ’s About Selling a Holiday Home

Selling a holiday home can be confusing and mentally demanding. We break down the essentials, so you’re fully informed, no matter your circumstances.

What counts as a holiday home or second home in the UK?

A holiday home is a property you own that you use mainly for leisure or short stays rather than as your main residence. It’s typically occupied only occasionally and isn’t lived in year-round.

In contrast, a second home is any additional furnished property you own that isn’t your primary residence. It gives you the option to live in it more regularly when needed. The difference matters for owning, tax and sale decisions.

Holiday homes are valued differently because they are used for leisure, whereas secondary homes are subject to fewer usage restrictions. How a property is classified can also affect:

  • Council tax

  • Maintenance

  • Insurance 

  • Utilities

Do I have to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when I sell my holiday home?

Yes. Your UK property could be subject to CGT on any profit you make from the sale if it’s not your primary residence. This includes holiday homes and secondary homes, since they are typically not treated as a main residence for tax purposes.

Whether you pay tax and how much you owe depends on factors such as how the property was used and its increase in value. When selling at a gain, with the selling price above what you originally paid, CGT may apply unless you qualify for specific reliefs or exemptions.

What affects the sale price of my holiday property?

Several things influence the sale price of your holiday home, for example:

  • Properties in popular UK regions or scenic areas generally command a higher value.

  • Size, amenities and upkeep can increase appeal and market interest.

  • Holiday lets generating consistent rent can justify a higher figure.

  • Current buyer interest in your area affects how quickly you can close a deal.

Ideally, these aspects set realistic expectations that can help maximise the value of your holiday home.

What documentation do I need to sell my holiday home?

Providing these essential documents means potential buyers can clearly understand your property’s value, helping complete the purchase:

  • Title deeds and proof of ownership.

  • Planning and use permissions for holiday or second homes.

  • Any management agreements, lettings records or operational information.

What should I do if I inherited a holiday home?

After inheriting a holiday home, ensure you have legal access and formally register ownership so you can manage or sell it.

Note: If you choose to rent it out, inheritance and income tax may apply.

How can I sell my holiday lodge for the best return on my investment?

If you want to sell a holiday lodge to maximise its value, you must:

  • Provide a clean, well-maintained property and ensure all fixtures and fittings are in good condition. 

  • Present your holiday lodge clearly to potential buyers, highlighting its type, location and business potential if used as a holiday let. 

  • Consider the timing of your sale and available options, whether you’re selling privately or via a trusted dealer.
