Property report
Build a holiday-let property report before you rely on the deal.
A useful property report keeps the investment case, assumptions, risks and evidence in one place before you spend more on viewings, surveys, finance work or legal checks.
Use the report to show what is known, what is assumed and what still needs professional or supplier confirmation.
What to include
Turn one listing into a decision record.
Deal snapshot
Purchase price, deposit, mortgage assumption, setup budget, expected revenue, core running costs and break-even occupancy.
Evidence log
Comparable listings, agent income estimates, cleaner quotes, management fees, insurance checks and local restriction notes.
Risk register
Planning, lease, lending, tax, seasonality, utility cost, service charge, maintenance and demand risks that still need verifying.
Scenario comparison
Base, cautious and stronger cases so the offer is not based on one optimistic occupancy or rate assumption.
Next checks
The phone calls, documents and professional questions needed before surveys, legal work or a purchase decision.
Decision trail
Why the property is being progressed, paused, renegotiated or rejected, with the assumptions that drove that decision.
Report workflow
Use the free checker for the first pass, then keep the full evidence trail in the report workbook.

Holiday Let Investor provides educational tools and decision-support resources. It does not provide regulated investment, mortgage, tax, legal, planning, valuation or accounting advice. Outputs depend on user assumptions and should support, not replace, your own checks and professional advice. A property report is an educational decision aid. It is not a valuation, mortgage recommendation, tax opinion, legal review or investment advice.
FAQs
Common questions
Is the deal checker an editable screening tool?
Yes. You can add a property link, paste listing text or upload supporting information, then edit the assumptions and review the first-pass score and financial outputs.
Can the checker pull details from Rightmove or Zoopla links?
Some portals restrict direct extraction. The checker keeps the link as evidence, but the most reliable method is to paste the listing description, price, bedrooms, features and any agent income claims into the text box.
What affects the deal score?
The score considers area demand, seasonality, restriction risk, property fit, condition, guest features, cashflow, cash-on-cash return, break-even occupancy and confidence in the assumptions entered.
Does a strong score mean the property is worth buying?
No. The score is a first-pass filter for weak assumptions, evidence gaps and next checks before deeper work.
Why use the checker before making an offer?
It helps expose fragile assumptions before you rely on optimistic revenue estimates, before furnishing costs surprise you, and before management fees or finance costs wipe out the margin.
