That indicates strong customer intent for coastal-style breaks\u2014 in Northumbria, properties dotted along or near the beautiful coastline are likely to be among the most searched-for.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dog-friendly\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pet-friendly is the number 1 most searched feature in the report\u2019s top-five list, and pet-friendly properties see <strong>9% more bookings per year<\/strong>. So, in Northumbria, areas that naturally suit dog owners (easy access to outdoor space\/walks\/coastline\/countryside) align with what guests are searching for most.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Short-breaks\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The report shows that allowing <strong>flexible short stays<\/strong> is linked to <strong>29% more bookings per year<\/strong>. That suggests areas that work well for weekends and mid-week breaks are particularly suited to market demand.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Larger group trips (bigger homes \/ family &amp; friends)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Large properties is in the top five most-searched features. So in Northumbria, holiday cottages that naturally suit multi-generational or group stays (parking, space, proximity to activities) are popular with what guests are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>Income rises sharply with bedroom count:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4-bed: <strong>\u00a334,300<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>5-bed: <strong>\u00a346,600<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>6+ bed: <strong>\u00a375,000<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This clearly demonstrates how larger properties in Northumbria can outperform smaller lets, particularly for family and group bookings that dominate in peak periods.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hot Tubs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hot tubs are a top searched feature and are associated with <strong>21% more predicted revenue<\/strong>. So properties where hot tubs are feasible\/attractive (privacy, views, year-round use) align with stronger revenue potential.<\/p>\n<h3>Unique properties<\/h3>\n<p>The report shows <strong>unique properties average \u00a332,200<\/strong> and <strong>detached houses \u00a331,400<\/strong> (top earning types). Northumbria properties that have the wow factor or where owners can offer guests a distinctive product (unique accommodation type, detached privacy) are very popular choices.<\/p>\n<p>Consideration of <strong>environmental impact<\/strong> has increased since the previous survey, with more people choosing UK holidays in an effort to be more &#8216;environmentally friendly&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/blog\/a-guide-to-buying-a-holiday-let-in-northumbria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buying a holiday let in Northumbria, look here<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What owners are doing..<\/h2>\n<p>The report highlights the practical steps owners are taking to manage costs and maintain performance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>39%<\/strong> made their property available for more days in the year<\/li>\n<li><strong>33%<\/strong> increased weekly rates to cover growing costs<\/li>\n<li><strong>25%<\/strong> claimed capital allowances before the FHL deadline<\/li>\n<li><strong>22%<\/strong> claimed small business rates relief<\/li>\n<li><strong>21%<\/strong> transferred their property to a limited company<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a market where guest booking patterns and operating costs are shifting, these changes show the value of treating holiday letting as a proactive business \u2013 especially through flexible availability and thoughtful investment in guest-appeal features.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1386\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/cottage\/Northumbria-Northumberland-North-Sunderland\/Marmalade-Cottage-1121980.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1386\" class=\"wp-image-1386 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2025\/04\/Blog-images-640-x-427-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marmalade Cottage, Seahouses Ref. 1121980<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Why not check out helpful blogs on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/blog\/furnished-holiday-let-tax-guide-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">furnished holiday let tax guide\u00a0<\/a> and advice on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/blog\/helpful-advice-around-stamp-duty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stamp Duty<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/letyourcottage\/advice\/article\/budget-announcements-impacting-holiday-let-owners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button style=\"padding: 10px; border-radius: 500px; background-color: #559eac; color: #ffffff;\"> Read the latest Budget Announcement here<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Owner sentiment &amp; regulation changes<\/h2>\n<p>The holiday let market update report found that <strong>45%<\/strong> of holiday let owners in the UK say they\u2019ve been impacted by changes in the sector in recent years.\u00a0 <strong>North East<\/strong> is among the areas where <strong>52%<\/strong> of owners say they\u2019re most impacted by changes.<\/p>\n<p>The most common changes owners report affecting them include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased rate of council tax: <strong>58%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>New checks for safety measures: <strong>56%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Furnished Holiday Lettings tax regime abolishment: <strong>33%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Increase in minimum days letting requirement to qualify for business rates: <strong>32%<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Planning permission required for letting: <strong>28%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>UK staycation market<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Heading into 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The report\u2019s timeline shows sector policy changes continue to develop across the UK, including the abolition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/furnished-holiday-lettings-tax-regime-abolition\/abolition-of-the-furnished-holiday-lettings-tax-regime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FHL tax regime from 6 April 2025<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1823\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/cottage\/Northumbria-Northumberland-Craster\/Puffin-Cottage-1175140.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1823\" class=\"wp-image-1823 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria-cottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/08\/Blog-images-640-x-427-87.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Puffin Cottage, Craster Ref. 1175140<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Despite this, owners remain confident.
